Luthra Goes for the River Value

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

There was a middle position open by Bryan Robitaille-Fequet to 3,500 before it folded to Danesh Luthra in the cutoff who called and then the big blind defended.

The 9A5 flop landed and the action checked all the way to Luthra who put out a bet of 2,500. Only Robitaille-Fequet called on their way to a flush completing K.

The action slowed down and checked through to a 3 river. Robitaille-Fequet checked again before Luthra went for another bet of 4,200.

Robitaille-Fequet went into the tank for a moment but eventually flicked in a call. Luthra tabled K9 for two pair and Robitaille-Fequet mucked.

The action folded to Anthony Potis in early position who limped for 2,000. Bryan Robitaille-Fequet then raised in late position to 5,500 before the reamaining players folded and it was back on Potis. He took a moment and then moved all in for about 32,000 having Robitaille-Fequet covered. After about a minute in the tank Robitaille-Fequet flicked in a call and they were off to the races.

Bryan Robitaille-Fequet: Q10 All in
Anthony Potis: AJ

The full board ran out 6J510K and with a pair of jacks, Potis sent Robitaille-Fequet to the rail. The limp jam has been making chips at Playground all week.

It then folded to Mark Fitzpatrick in the small blind who only took a moment before moving all in for his last 22,500. The original limper went deep into the tank but eventually folded. Sequeira flicked in a call and they were off to a full board with Fitzpatrick all in and at risk.

Stephan Used the Tried and True Secret Weapon

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Tania Marie Stephan
Tania Marie Stephan

After significant action all the chips made their way into the middle between Tania Marie Stephan in the small blind and Jamie Sequeira in late position. The cards hit their backs with Stephan all in and at risk and she was gonna need some help.

Tania Marie Stephan: AJ All in
Jamie Sequeira: KK

Stephan was being a good sport about being behind but she was already out of her seat and seemed to act as though the loss was a foregone conclusion. The dealer fanned out the 10210 flop and she began to gather her things. The 4 hit the turn and she put on her jacket and grabbed her purse. She was literally walking away when the dealer peeled the miracle A off the top of the deck and the table was sure to let her know.

The old put-on-the-jacket-and-leave-before-the-runout trick has been working for years. Not to worry though, Sequeira would then double back up a few hands later and Stephan would find yet another double a few hands after that.
