Straight Flush Trumps Patel

A player from early position raised to 425 and the cutoff called. Emil Patel, seated on the button, three-bet to 1,300. Undeterred, the original raiser put in a four-bet to 2,925, and the cutoff folded after spending a minute in the tank. Action was back on Patel, who called.

The {7-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{2-Clubs} flop brought more action. After a check from his opponent, Patel bet 2,300. The other player then check-shoved for 13,525. Patel snap-called.

Patel: {Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades}
Opponent: {A-Clubs}{3-Clubs}

Patel had heaps of outs to fade, but he was out in front. The {9-Diamonds} turn changed nothing, but the {5-Clubs} river completed his opponent's straight flush. Patel was left with just 1,875 and is suddenly on life support after a nice start to the day.

Marchese Hurting

Tom Marchese is down to just a few thousand in chips, courtesy of a recent hand that we caught the action from the turn. At this point there was a board showing {k-Clubs}{2-Spades}{a-Spades}{2-Clubs} and Marchese checked to one opponent. The player bet 1,675 and Marchese called.

The {k-Hearts} was the last card to hit the felt and again Marchese checked. This time his opponent bet 2,800 and Marchese didn't look too impressed. Eventually he made the call and then mucked his cards when his opponent tabled {a-Clubs}{q-Spades}.

Greenstein Flops Nut Flush, Doesn't Win Much

The action started with the under the gun player opening it up to 400. Barry Greenstein then made the call in late position and the player on the button promptly three-bet to 1,300. The player who opened folded and Greentstein made the call.

On the {9-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} flop, Greenstein check-called a bet from his opponent and the {j-Hearts} hit the turn. Greenstein again checked and this time his opponent also checked.

The {8-Spades} completed the board on the river and Greenstein took his time, before checking again. His opponent looked like he was going to bet, but then checked behind. Greenstein then rolled over {a-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} for the flopped nut flush.

Jarvis Wins a Few

When we arrived at Matt Jarvis' table, there was already over 5,000 in chips in the pot and a {6-Spades}{5-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} board was showing, with one player set to act before Jarvis. The player fired out 2,800 and Jarvis thought for a long time before call.

The last card to hit the felt was a {j-Spades} and Jarvis' opponent checked this time, which prompted Jarvis to also check. When Jarvis turned over his {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}, it was enough to send his opponent's {8-Clubs}{8-Spades} straight into the muck.
