Mercier Exits

Jason Mercier in action
Jason Mercier in action
On a flop of {A-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{J-Clubs} Jason Mercier got the last of his chips into the pot holding {A-Spades}{6-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{3-Clubs} for top pair and the second nut-low draw.

His opponent that made the call however tabled {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{2-Spades}{3-Diamonds} for a stronger top pair and nut-low draw.

The turn gave both players a low when it dropped the {8-Spades}, and when the {5-Diamonds} fell on the river, Mercier exited the tournament after being scooped by his opponent.

Hellmuth Quartered

Catching the action on the turn with the board reading {7-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} Phil Hellmuth had his opponent all in.

Hellmuth: {K-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{2-Spades}
Opponent: {A-Hearts}{5-Spades}{4-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}

"I guess you could hit a three" Hellmuth states as the cards are turned over.

The dealer then burned and turned the {3-Clubs} on the river to see Hellmuth get quartered and left with only 1,500 after his nut-low was chopped up.

Shulman Doubles

Barry Shulman has managed to find a double when he was all in on the flop of {K-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{9-Spades}.

Shulman held {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} against his opponents {10-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{2-Clubs}.

The turn and river fell the {K-Spades} and {3-Diamonds} to see Shulman double to just over 4,000 in chips.

Cantu Doubles

You Cantu it!
You Cantu it!
Brandon Cantu repotted an early raise of 600 to a total of 2,100. His opponent made the call to see the flop {3-Hearts} {9-Diamonds} {2-Spades}.

"Pot!" says the original raiser to effectively put Cantu all in; and with only 2,900 behind, Cantu makes the call.

Cantu: {A-Hearts} {J-Hearts} {2-Clubs} {7-Spades}
Opponent: {2-Hearts} {4-Clubs} {3-Spades} {Q-Spades}

The turn of the {J-Diamonds} saw Cantu take the lead before the {5-Spades} fell on the river to give Cantu the scoop to over 10,000 in chips.

Traniello Busted By Two Sets

In a seven-way pot, Marco Traniello pushed all in from the cutoff once the action was checked to him on the {K-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} flop.

The player on the button made the call as the rest of the players passed.

Traniello: {K-Spades}{9-Spades}{3-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}
Opponent: {K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{6-Spades}

With his opponent flopping two sets to his top-two pair it was going to be tough for Traniello to stay alive.

The {7-Spades} on the turn gave Traniello a low-draw, but when the {2-Clubs} fell on the river, Traniello was sent to the rail.

Gank Wheels It In

We found Brett Jungblut all in for his last 3,900 on a flop of {5-Spades}{4-Spades}{3-Hearts}.

Jungblut held {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{2-Spades} for the nut-low and five-high straight.

His opponent showed {A-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} {Q-Spades} {K-Clubs} for a pair of fives and a chance to chop the pot if a two should fall.

The turn of the {4-Diamonds} and river of the {6-Diamonds} changed nothing and Jungblut was able to scoop both the high and low pot to move to 9,600 in chips.
