Schoenfeld Doubles With Flush

Adam Schoenfeld has just doubled up before the dinner break after getting his last 23,500 in on the turn on the board of {9-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{7-Clubs}. His opponent made a quick call.

Schoenfeld: {J-Hearts}{8-Hearts}
Opponent: {A-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}

Schoenfeld was on a big draw and nailed it when the river fell the {A-Hearts} to complete his flush. Schoenfeld is up to 65,000.

Cole Feeling the Chill

Corwin Cole and a lone opponent went heads-up to a {K-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} flop and the action was checked around. When the {3-Diamonds} fell on the turn, Cole checked, his opponent bet 4,100 and Cole called. The river was the {J-Clubs} and Cole checked a third time. His opponent bet 4,000 and Cole called.

Cole mucked when he laid eyes on his opponent's {J-Spades}{J-Diamonds}. He's still holding around 150,000 in chips.

More Chips for Cammarota

Alfonso Cammarota raised to 2,500 and an opponent went all in for about 20,000. Cammarota called with two aces. His opponent held {A-}{K-}. The flop brought three spades and the all-in player held the {A-Spades}, but the turn and river didn't help him and Cammarota's aces held up. He's now up to 81,000 in chips.

Van Patten Doing Fine, Though Not In-Vince-able

A player in middle position opened with a raise to 2,500, and it folded around to Vince Van Patten who called from the small blind. The big blind got out, and the flop came {8-Spades}{K-Hearts}{9-Hearts}. Van Patten quickly checked, and his opponent didn't wait long to check as well.

The turn was the {7-Diamonds}, and Van Patten tossed five yellow (1,000) chips ahead of him. His opponent called. The river was the {Q-Diamonds}, and both players checked.

Van Patten's opponent tabled {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs} for kings, and the World Poker Tour co-host mucked. He is still doing fine, though, with an above-average stack of 86,000.

You Got It Reitman

There was 6,000 in the middle and the flop had come single-suited -- {4-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{K-Clubs} -- when a player in the small blind checked to Joe Reitman. Reitman pushed out a bet of 4,000, and his opponent called.

The turn brought the {A-Hearts} and another check from the SB. Reitman bet 5,000 this time, and again got the call.

The river came the {7-Clubs}, putting a fourth club on the board. Another check, followed by a bet of 15,000 from Reitman. "Ahhh crap!" said his opponent, who subsequently folded his {5-}{5-} face up.

Reitman moves to 58,000 on that one.

Hougaard Climbing

Jesper Hougaard opened to 1,800 from the hi-jack only to be three-bet to 6,500 from the small blind.

Hougaard called to see a {A-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{10-Spades} flop fall and checks follow from both players.

The {2-Diamonds} landed on the turn, and after a check, Hougaard fired out 5,700 and was called as the dealer dropped the {3-Spades} on the river.

Check, bet of 10,400, and then an insta-call saw Hougaard's {A-Clubs}{5-Clubs} best his opponent's {K-Diamonds}{K-Spades} to see the Dane climb to 200,000 in chips.

Baldwin Hits Into a Double Play

Eric "basebaldy" Baldwin
Eric "basebaldy" Baldwin

Eric Baldwin raised to 2,000 from late position, and the player in the cutoff seat called. The small blind wanted to play for more though, and he squeezed in a reraise to 8,000. Baldwin four-bet to 20,000, the monkey in the middle folded, and the small blind shoved his last 38,000 in there.

Showdown
Baldwin: {A-Clubs} {K-Hearts}
Big blind: {K-Diamonds} {K-Spades}

There would be no knockout ace for Baldwin. The board came {K-Clubs} {5-Clubs} {9-Spades} {9-Hearts} {8-Diamonds}, and he's going to have to ship some double-up chips. "Basebaldy" is down to 33,000 now after dropping more than half his stack to Big Slick.
