"I Only Looked at One"

Tony G
Tony G
Noah Schwartz raised to 32,000 from middle position and Tony G three-bet to 80,000 from the cutoff. Schwartz called and they saw a flop of {9-Diamonds} {8-Spades} {8-Hearts}. Schwartz checked and Tony G immediately made a massive all-in overbet for more than 500,000.

"I only looked at one card" said Tony G. "I'll show you the hand."

"I might see it anyway!" replied Schwartz as he contemplated a call.

"Either way, you'll see it then," Tony G retorted.

Schwartz folded and Tony G told him he could pick one of his hole cards and he'd turn it over. Schwartz pointed at Tony's right hand and he revealed the {J-Hearts}.

"The other one was black," he laughed as he raked in the pot. Tony G is now up to 655,000.

Sami "LarsLuzak" Kelopuro raised to 31,000, then Alan Sass reraised to 75,000. It folded back to Kelopuro who pushed all in, and Sass made the call.

Kelopuro showed {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}, and Sass had pocket eights. The board came {6-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{4-Hearts}, and Kelopuro doubled up to 370,000. Sass slips to 235,000.

Dale Pinchot made an opening raise to 28,000 and Nam Le reraised a large stack of green chips, enough to set Pinchot all in. He made the call with pocket nines and was up against the {A-Clubs} {J-Clubs} of Le.

The board came {A-Diamonds} {10-Clubs} {4-Spades} {7-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} pairing Nam Le's ace and eliminating Dale Pinchot from the tournament.

Play It Like It's the Nuts

The table folded around to Tony G who raised to 32,000 from the small blind, and Justin Bonomo called from the big blind.

The flop came {K-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}. Tony G continued with a bet of 35,000, and Bonomo deliberated just a moment before making the call. The turn came the {10-Clubs}, and both players checked.

The river brought the {J-Hearts}. Tony G wasted little time firing out a bet of 75,000. Bonomo stared at the board for a few seconds, then let it go. A grinning Tony G turned over his hand -- {6-Diamonds}{2-Spades}.

Tony G now has close to half a million, while Bonomo continues to sit near the top of the leaderboard with 1.27 million.
