Brecher's Set Good for a Scoop

A player in the hijack position opened to 350 and Steve Brecher called behind from the cutoff. The player in the big blind came along as well for a three-way flop.

Flop: {6-Diamonds}{A-Spades}{Q-Clubs}

The big blind checked to the player in the hijack, who c-bet to 550. Brecher called and the player in the big got out of the way.

The turn brought the {4-Diamonds} and both players checked, however, when a {5-Diamonds} fell on the river, Brecher's opponent checked, prompting a 1,150 bet from Brecher. His opponent thought is over and reluctantly tossed in a call. Brecher revealed {6-Spades}{6-Hearts} for a set of sixes and his opponent mucked without showing.

Brecher is currently sitting on 14,500.

Glantz Sent Sailing

A player in middle position opened to 400 and was three-bet to 900 by Matt Glantz from the cutoff. Everyone else got out of the way and Glantz's opponent called.

The flop came {2-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{3-Diamonds} and Glantz's opponent check-called a 900 bet from Glatnz.

The turn brought a {5-Diamonds} and Glantz's opponent again check called - this time for 1,800.

However, when the {J-Hearts} completed the board, Glantz's opponent pushed a large stack of $1,000-denomination chips into the middle, which was enough to put Glantz all in. Glantz called off his remaining chips and his opponent said, "I got there on the river," and revealed {J-Diamonds}{J-Spades} for a rivered full-house.

Glantz was stunned and tabled {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} for the nut-flush before heading to the rail.

Little Goes Over the Top

A player raised to 500 from under the gun and action folded around to a short-stacked Jonathan Little, who went all in for his last 3,500 from middle position. Action folded back around to the raiser, who mucked his hand after some deliberation.

Little still has a lot of work to do, however, with just 4,300.

Heinz's Stack Takes a Hit Right Before Break

We caught up with the action three-handed on a {6-Spades}{4-Clubs}{2-Clubs} flop. One player checked from early position and a player in middle position fired 1,200 into the pot. Pius Heinz called directly behind him and the first player folded.

The turn brought the {Q-Clubs} and Heinz's opponent fired again - this time for 2,000. Heinz again called to see a river, which brought the {5-Hearts}. Heinz's opponent slowed down and checked, sending Heinz deep into the tank. After about a minute of thinking it through, Heinz checked behind and his opponent revealed {7-Clubs}{6-Clubs} for a flush. Heinz couldn't beat it and his opponent scooped the sizable pot.

Heinz was knocked down to 5,600 following the hand.
