Minieri and Gould Tangle

On a flop of {3-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} Dario Minieri bet. Peter Gould then bet pot and Minieri raised pot. Gould called all in, as Minieri had him covered.

Gould: {a-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}
Minieri: {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}

The turn brought the {3-Spades} and the river the {j-Spades} to give Gould the pot with trip threes. He is now up to 27,000 and Minieri is sitting on 12,500.

Boutin Gets One More Shot

A player fired 1,000 at a {j-Spades}{9-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{7-Spades} board, and Burt Boutin raised to 3,000. His opponent called, then potted the {9-Clubs} river. Boutin called all in with {10-}{10-Spades}{9-Spades}{8-Diamonds} for a jack-high straight, but it wasn't any good. The other player tabled {8-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{5-Spades} for sevens full of nines and scooped the hefty pot. Boutin cashed in his last rebuy chip and is down to his last 4,000.

JP Kelly Down to Two Red Rebuy Chips

On a flop of {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}{8-Clubs} PokerStars Team Pro JP Kelly checked to his opponent on the button who bet 500. Kelly made the call and the turn brought the {6-Hearts}.

Kelly checked and his opponent bet 1,750. Kelly then put all of his chips in the middle (less his three rebuy chips) and his opponent called.

Kelly: {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}
Opponent: {j-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}

The river was inconsequential to Kelly who tossed in one rebuy chip leaving him with a 4,000 stack and two remaining rebuy chips.

Gaucho a Goner

David "Gaucho2121" Paredes was heads up on an {a-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} board. His opponent checked, and he bet 1,900. Then he got check-raised to 4,500. Paredes moved all in with his last chips and the other player called the few extra.

Paredes: {j-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{10-Spades}{5-Hearts} for a set with a gutshot
Opponent: {k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{6-Spades} for the nut straight and a flush draw

The {9-Spades} river didn't save Paredes with a boat. He's all out of rebuy chips and on his way home.

Mercier Rocks Rockets

The big blind checked a {9-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{3-Spades} flop, and Chris Bjorin and Barry Greenstein checked behind. Jason Mercier was last to act, and he bet 450. The big blind then check-raised to 1,075. That was enough to fold out Bjorin and Greenstein. Mercier made the call, tossing in the chips with an exaggerated eye roll. The turn brought the {a-Hearts}, and the big blind bet 3,200. Mercier moved all in for another 1,575 with top set, and his opponent called with a double gutshot.

Mercier: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{5-Clubs}
Big blind: {7-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{4-Diamonds}

The {10-Diamonds} river was a blank, and Mercier doubled to nearly 8,000. He also has one rebuy remaining.

Grospellier Gets the Best of Morrison

On a flop reading {A-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}, Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier bet 700 and was called by Kirk Morrison.

On the {5-Spades} turn, Grospellier bet 3,075 and Morrison made the call.

Grospellier moved all in for 8,500 on the {5-Hearts} river and Morrison made the call again.

Grospellier showed {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{9-Clubs} for aces full to best Morrison's {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs} - X - X.

Grospellier is up to 22,000 with two rebuy chips to spare and Morrison has found an early exit.
