Hustling Hawrilenko

On a flop of {K-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} we found Matt Hawrilenko check raising his opponent. All bets were called and both players were awarded a {8-Hearts} turn.

Slowing down Hawrilenko simply checked, seeing this Hawrilenko's opponent bet out. Hawrilenko made the call and the dealer rolled off a {7-Spades} for the river. Action slowed down here as both players checked. Hawrilenko showed the table {K-Diamonds}{J-Spades} for a pair of kings and was apparently enough to make his opponent muck.

Chan's Sevens Better than Haxton's Sixes

Isaac Haxton checked a flop of {7-Spades}{5-Spades}{4-Diamonds} and allowed Terrence Chan to take control with a bet. Haxton tried to wrest it back with a check-raise, but Chan made the call to watch the dealer burn and turn the {2-Diamonds}. Haxton bet, Chan called, and the {Q-Spades} appeared on the river.

Again Haxton bet, Chan called, and the former showed {6-Spades}{6-Hearts}. It was no good as Chan flipped over {A-Spades}{7-Clubs} for a pair of sevens.

The Classic "Old-Man-Hum-Haw-Tank-Raise w/ the Nuts" Move

On a board reading {5-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}, Terrence Chan bet only to have his elderly opponent take his time, mumble, and then raise. Chan made the call and soon learned that he was the victim of the classic "Old-Man-Hum-Haw-Tank-Raise w/ the Nuts" move as his opponent showed {A-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}.

While the move worked, both Chan and tablemate Isaac Haxton couldn't help but laugh.

Mueller Mows Over the Competition

Betting out from the cutt-off Greg Mueller found himself being raised by the Button. After Mueller made the call a flop of {9-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{6-Spades} was spread on the felt. Mueller getting craft check raised his opponent only to be quickly called.

Both players saw a {2-Hearts} on the turn and after a series of betting Mueller's opponent was all-in and ahead with {A-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}. Mueller held {K-Spades}{Q-Spades} for king high and a handful of outs that could potentially give a knock out blow.

A river {K-Clubs} was one of the 20 cards Mueller needed and "FBT" eliminated another player.

Traniello Busted by the Chip Leader

Action was capped at 3,000 between Samuel Golbuff and Marco Traniello on a flop of {10-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}, leading to the {8-Diamonds} on the turn. Two bets resulted in Traniello being all in, though his {Q-Spades}{10-Clubs} was ahead of Golbuff's {J-Clubs}{2-Clubs}; however, the latter had a flush drawn and an open-ended straight draw. Much to Traniello's dismay, the {9-Spades} river completed the said straight and Golbuff took down the pot.

Traniello was sent to the rail here in Level 10.

"Che Facciamo"

Level 10 : 400/800, 0 ante

Michele Limongi lost a pot over on Table 276 and went to muck his cards; however, an opponent asked to see his hand. Since there was a bet and call on the river, the dealer obliged and flipped Limongi's cards. This did not sit well with the Italian and he verbally protested.

The floor made his way to the table and informed Limongi that since his hand didn't hit the muck, his opponent had a right to see it. "This isn't fair," Limongi protested. "Come to Italy and play." The debate continued before Limongi let up and told the floor, "You're right, I'm wrong." That seemed to settle the matter.

Jennifer Harman and Gaining Chips Together in Perfect Harmony

We found Jennifer Harman firing out a river bet into her opponent Matt Schreiber on a board of {Q-}{9-}{6-}{K-}{10-}.

Schreiber called the bet and was a bit disgusted to find Harman's {J-}{10-} for a straight was better than whatever he held. We don't know his hand, mainly because he angrily threw them into the muck after Harman flipped her cards.

Mueller vs. Alaei

Jay Pinkussohn raised from the hijack only to be reraised by Daniel Alaei in the cutoff. Greg Mueller then four-bet from the button and both his opponents made the call. Pinkussohn then checked the {4-Spades}{10-Hearts}{J-Clubs} flop, Alaei bet, Mueller raised, and only Alaei made the call.

Alaei proceeded to check-call bets on the {5-Diamonds} turn and {J-Hearts} river, only to muck when Mueller triumphantly revealed {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} for a full house.
