Recent Round of Counts

Froelich Flops It; Doubles Up

With the board reading {9-Hearts}{J-Spades}{k-Hearts}, Eric Froehlich's opponent pushed out a bet of 8,800. Froehlich counted out a raise and made it 18,800 to go.

His opponent thought for about a minute before announcing that he was all in. Froehlich snap called, tabling {Q-Spades}{10-Diamonds} for a flopped straight. His opponent showed {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} and was looking for hearts or a ten for a chop.

Fourth and fifth street brought neither, however, coming {2-Diamonds} and {3-Spades} respectively. With that pot Froehlich was able to double up to about 130,000.

Brenes Doubles

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

We found Humberto Brenes being pushed a pot with the {3-Spades}{3-Clubs} in front of him. Brenes got all of his chips in the middle against an opponent who held {A-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}.

Brenes is now sitting on about 20,000. While Brenes stacked his chips, the only comprehensible thing that we could understand was him repeatedly saying his own name.

Humberto Brenes

We had an all in preflop showdown between PokerStars Team Pro Humberto Brenes and PokerStars Team Online Mickey Petersen. Brenes was holding {A-Spades} {2-Diamonds} and Petersen had {3-Spades} {3-Diamonds}.

The board ran {4-Spades} {3-Hearts} {A-Clubs} {2-Clubs} {5-Diamonds} and Brenes started counting his chips out. Apparently, he didn't fully realize that they had chopped the pot.

Stein Bests Dunst

We found Sam Stein and Tony Dunst staring down at a flop of {10-Spades}{A-Spades}{2-Diamonds} in a raised pot. Stein checked to Dunst on the button who fired out a bet of 5,500. Stein called and the turn brought the {10-Hearts}.

Stein checked once again and this time Dunst fired 12,000 into the pot. Stein waited about thirty seconds before counting out and pushing in a call.

The {5-Hearts} fell on fifth street and Stein checked for a third time. Dunst quickly checked behind and Stein tabled {j-Hearts}{10-Clubs} for trip tens. Dunst mucked his hand and Stein was able to drag the pot, boosting him into the role of chip leader at his table.

Gregg Takes Haxton's Chips

We caught up with the action to find the board reading {K-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}. Anthony Gregg tossed out a bet of 3,900 and Isaac Haxton called.

The river paired the board, bringing the {K-Hearts}. Gregg checked to Haxton who moved out a stack of twenty t500 chips, making the bet 10,000 total. With action back to Gregg, he announced that he was all in. Haxton seemed a bit astonished by the bet and sat pondering for well over two minutes before finally mucking his hand. Haxton is currently sitting with about 16,000 in chips while Gregg's stack has reached the 90,000 mark.
