Chino Rheem Takes Out Isaac Haxton

Isaac Haxton is out.
Isaac Haxton is out.

Chino Rheem threw in the price of a big blind, from late position, the small blind did the same and Isaac Haxton checked his option. The flop was {9-Diamonds} {7-Spades} {2-Hearts} and the action checked to Rheem who bet 14,000. Back to Haxton and he moved all-in for 19,200, Rheem isolated by re-potting it and the small blind took the hint and took a hike.

Rheem{8-Clubs} {7-Hearts} {5-Hearts} {2-Clubs}
Haxton{J-Hearts} {J-Diamonds} {Q-Spades} {7-Diamonds}

So Rheem with two-pair versus the over pair of Haxton. The turn card was the {2-Diamonds}, handing Rheem the boat, and the river {A-Spades} sealed the deal. Haxton was out.

A Nice Pot For Mosley

Dominique Mosley raised to 4,560 in late position and both Viacheslav Igin (SB) and Galen Kester (BB) called in the blinds. The flop was {Q-Spades} {10-Hearts} {7-Clubs}, both blinds checked, Mosley c-bet for 19,000 and just Igin made the call. Onto the turn, and the {5-Diamonds}, and Mosley bet 24,500 and it was enough to win the pot.

Joseph Ressler
Joseph Ressler

Robert Williamson III raised to 5,400 in early position and both Joseph Ressler (SB) and Erik Seidel (BB) called in the blinds. The action checked through to the turn on a board of {A-Hearts} {10-Spades} {7-Hearts} {K-Spades} when Ressler came out betting for 18,000. Williamson made the call and Seidel folded, leaving us heads-up going to fifth street. That particular card was the {7-Spades}, Ressler bet 20,500 and Williamson made the call.

Ressler turned over {10-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} {2-Hearts} {2-Clubs} for the full-house and Williamson mucked his hand.

Tex Barch is Eliminated

We found Tex Barch with only 8,000 chips in front of him. We watched him fold a few hands before calling a 4,000 raise only to fold to the flop. He finally got his last 3,400 into the middle in a mess of a three-way flop.

Basically, Raul Paez raised, Tex Barch moved all-in as did Ilkka Heikkila (it was a 14,500 pot bet leaving 5,200 behind). Paez was weighing up his options,

"I think I will gamble," said Paez.

"I believe you," said Barch will brought laughter around the table.

"I am bluffing," said Heikkila.

Paez called and this was the state of affairs.

Heikkila{A-Hearts} {K-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} {7-Hearts}
Paez{A-Spades} {10-Spades} {5-Clubs} {4-Diamonds}
Barch{A-Clubs} {10-Clubs} {5-Diamonds} {2-Hearts}

Board: {Q-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} {10-Hearts} {Q-Clubs} {2-Spades}

Heikkila finding a boat to eliminate Barch and take a little bite out of the Paez stack.
