Vanessa Rousso Folds Pocket Tens at the Right Time

A player raised all-in from late position for 2,450, Vanessa Rousso called from the button and the big blind raised all-in for 1,100 more. Rousso thought about it for a while and then folded. The big blind turned over {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs} and the player in late position showed {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts}. The flop didn't help either player. At that point Rousso was upset because she had folded pocket tens. But, her mood changed quickly when a jack came on the turn. She let out a sigh of relief. "I guess that was a good lay-down."

See, This Happens in the Real World, Too.

A player in early position moves in for his last 2,700. The player on the button re-raises for about another 3,000 AND the player in the small blind calls. The player in the big blind, with barely 2,000 chips, tanks for a while, but ultimately calls. The hands.

Early-position raiser {j-Spades}{10-Hearts}

Button {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}
Small Blind {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}
Big Blind {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}

The flop comes

{6-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{7-Hearts}

the turn is

{j-Diamonds}

and the river is

{j-Hearts}

Clonie Gowen Doubles Up With Pocket Aces

A player bet out 1,200 from middle position, Clonie Gowen raised 2,000 more and her opponent called. The flop came {5-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}. Middle position checked, Gowen bet 4,000, and the player in middle position pushed all-in. Gowen took her time before she pushed all-in with her last 5,850. The turn and river came {K-Spades}{9-Diamonds}. Gowen turned over {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds} and her opponent showed the {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}. Gowen exclaimed, "man I almost laid that down. I thought you had flopped a set of jacks." After the hand, Gowen had doubled up to 25,000.

Why So Slow?

This tournament is playing remarkably slow, at least in comparison to the past $1,500 events. We were all inside the Amazon room by the dinner break easily in all of the past $1,500 events. But this event - with only about 30 more minutes of play before the dinner break - still has about 15 tables out in the Poker Pavilion.
