Negreanu's Nuts

In a three-bet pot preflop, PokerStars Team Pro's Daniel Negreanu and Anton Allemann saw a flop of {8-Clubs}{q-Spades}{2-Spades} against a third opponent. Allemann led out, the player in the middle called, Negreanu made it two bets and Allemann made it three. The player in the middle folded, and Negreanu made the call.

The turn was the {9-Diamonds}, and Negreanu slowed down, opting to just call Allemann's bet. The river was the {k-Spades}, and it was Allemann's turn to pump the breaks. He check-called a bet from Negreanu, who opened {a-Spades}{3-Spades}{x-}{x-} for the nuts.

Kostritsyn Gets in Deep

Level 10 : 800/1,500, 0 ante
Alex Kostritsyn
Alex Kostritsyn

Alex Kostritsyn raised in early position, and Dario Alioto three-bet a couple seats over. Kostritsyn called, and off they went to the flop heads-up.

It came {9-Hearts} {Q-Spades} {8-Diamonds}, and Kostritsyn led right back out with a bet. Alioto called there, and he called again after the turn brought the {Q-Clubs}. Kostritsyn bet one more time after the {A-Clubs} river, and it was there that Alioto finally raised to two bets. Kostritsyn probably knew what was what, but he splashed the last 3,000 into the pot to see for sure.

Alioto turned over {A-Spades} {Q-Diamonds} {2-Spades} {5-Spades}, and his queens full of aces gets him the full pot. After that exchange, Alioto is up to 40,000, and Kostritsyn is back down to 69,000 -- about where he started the day.

Jerry Buss-to
Jerry Buss-to

Just before break, David "ODB" Baker raised from early position, Jerry Buss three-bet on the button, and Jean-Robert Bellande cold-called from the blinds. Baker called too, and the flop came down {9-Spades}{k-Clubs}{8-Hearts}. Bellande checked, Baker bet, and Buss raised, putting himself all in. Both Bellande and Baker called.

The turn was the {3-Clubs}, and Bellande bet out. Baker mucked.

Bellande: {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}{k-Spades}{7-Diamonds}
Buss: {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{j-Diamonds}

Buss could chop the pot with any low card, or scoop with any jack, but the river bricked and Buss was eliminated.
