Bloch Not Going Anywhere

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Mid-position raised and Bloch made it three bets from the cutoff before the small blind made it four. The mid-position player folded and Bloch called, he then called bets on the flop and turn of a {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{9-Diamonds}

{8-Spades}

{4-Spades}

{9-Hearts}

board.

Both checked the river and Bloch showed {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{K-Clubs}

while the small blind mucked.

Betting at the Table

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

For the last half hour, Mark Seif and Amnon Fillipi have been arguing over which hand is better to take on {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{A-Diamonds}

. Is it

{7-Clubs}

{6-Clubs}

or

{6-Clubs}

{5-Clubs}

? The pair had a $1,000 on the bet with Seif sure the {7-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

{6-Clubs}

would win.

After a quick calculation online, both hands beat aces 22.87% of the time but {7-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

{6-Clubs}

only ties with aces 0.32% of the time, but {6-Clubs}

{6-Clubs}

{5-Clubs}

ties with aces 0.37% of the time...

Hellmuth Busts..

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Just before a multiway limped pot, Phil Hellmuth shouts to Annie Duke, "Watch how I play this one..."

They see a {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{6-Clubs}

{3-Spades}

flop and it's checked to Hellmuth who bets 450. Jean-Robert Bellande check-raises all in and Hellmuth quickly calls with {7-?}

{7-?}

{7-?}

, ahead of Bellande's {J-?}

{J-?}

{6-?}

. The turn is the {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

but the river is a devil for Hellmuth, another {6-?}

{6-?}

to eliminate him.

After crippling himself with {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{K-Spades}

against

{K-Clubs}

{K-Diamonds}

, Nick Binger was all in for his shrapnel with {9-?}

{9-?}

{8-?}

against

{K-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

. Despite the flop coming {K-?}

{K-?}

{K-?}

{5-?}

, Binger won when the turn was the {6-?}

{6-?}

and the river the {7-?}

{7-?}

for his last few hundred chips.
