Level 15 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Action folded around to Dwyte Pilgrim in late position and he pushed out a bet of 5,300. It folded around to the small blind who thought for about a minute before moving a large stack of chips into the middle, making it 19,000 to go. It folded back to Pilrgrim who sat thinking for about thirty seconds.

"Alright, you got it," Pilrgrim said as he tossed {7-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} face up into the muck.

"It was a good fold," remarked his opponent.

With this small hit Pilgrim is now down to about 72,000 in chips.

Cada Cracks Queens

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

The player under the gun opened the action with a raise to 4,800. Joe Cada tossed out a three-bet to 11,000 and action folded back to the original raiser. Cada's opponent would not be pushed around so easily, however, as he four-bet to 25,800. Cada thought for a moment before dropping in a call with an unhappy look on his face.

The flop was {6-Clubs} {k-Spades} {A-Diamonds} and Cada's opponent checked to him. Cada counted out 10,000 in chips and slid them into the middle. His opponent called and the {5-Hearts} rolled off on the turn. Both players checked and the {2-Diamonds} came on the river. They both checked once more and Cada's opponent showed {Q-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts} and Cada flipped up {A-Hearts} {J-Hearts} for a flopped pair of aces.

The player in the hijack opened to 5,300 and JC Tran called from the small blind.

The flop came down {A-Spades} {A-Clubs} {9-Diamonds} and both players checked to see the {3-Hearts} turn. Tran bet 5,000, his opponent called, and the {A-Hearts} hit the river. Tran bet 12,500 this time and was quickly paid off by his opponent.
