Ivey Out

I'm smiling because I'm still Phil Ivey
I'm smiling because I'm still Phil Ivey

After opening and having opponent three-bet him, Phil Ivey went deep into the tank before four-bet shoving all in. His opponent snapped it off with {A-}{K-} and Ivey tabled {q-}{j-}.

After a low flop, a king turned sealing the deal and Mr. Ivey hit the rail.

A Gift That Almost Wasn't

A player in middle position opened to 1,225 and Dean Hamrick re-raised to 3,475. His opponent put in a huge four-bet to 15,000 and Hamrick moved all in for just 2,000 more. His opponent made a crying call and the hands were tabled:

Showdown
Hamrick: {A-Hearts}{K-Spades}
Opponent {6-Spades}{2-Hearts} (oops)

Hamrick stood up after the flop fell {8-Spades}{6-Hearts}{8-Clubs}, convinced that he was done. Fortunately for him the {A-Diamonds} turned giving him the lead again. The {3-Hearts} bricked on the river and Hamrick doubled to 38,000 chips.

Ladies For Klinghammer

Chris Moorman opened to 1,700 from under the gun only to have Klinghammer Thibaut three-bet to 4,600 next to act.

An opponent in the small blind made the call as Moorman folded as the {A-Clubs}{A-Spades}{K-Diamonds} flop was spread.

Thibaut fired out 7,000 and was check-called before both players checked down the {K-Spades} and {4-Spades} on the turn and river.

Thibaut tabled his {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} and took down the pot to move close to 59,000 in chips.

Obrestad Binks Straight

"Binking straights is an easy game for me!"
"Binking straights is an easy game for me!"

A short-stacked player moved all in preflop and Annette Obrestad made the call from the small blind.

Obrestad: {J-Spades}{8-Hearts}
Opponent: {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}

"I never lose with Jack-Eight . . . just so you know" stated Obrestad.

The dealer spread the {10-Clubs}{3-Spades}{9-Diamonds} flop and then the {3-Diamonds} on the turn.

"Seven?" asked Obrestad as the dealer burned and turned the {7-Hearts} on the river.

"Bink!" added Obrestad in a polite tone as she raked in the pot to send her opponent to the rail and her stack up to 18,000 in chips.
