Ippolito Wins Big Pot To Bust Woodke

tayke2

"Are you from Pokernews? You may want to come look at this we have a massive pot going." These were the words from Mitch Schock, so we followed him to his table to take a look. When we got to the table, here's what we saw.

The flop had come down {4-Hearts} {k-Clubs} {6-Hearts} , and there were a ton of bets on the table. Stein had a pink T5,000 chip in front that we later figured out was a bet of around 3,500. Drew Woodke had raised it up to 7,500, and Peter Ippolito had put out a massive bet that was essentially an all in. Stein was in the tank when we arrived, and he eventually released his hand. Action was on Woodke now, and after about 30 seconds of thought, he slid the rest of his chips forward for the call.

Ippolito: {6-Clubs} {6-Diamonds}
Woodke: {k-Diamonds} {6-Spades}

It was a pretty sick cooler for Woodke, as his top two pair was drawing very thin to Ippolito's set of sixes. The turn and river brought no miracles, coming the {a-Clubs} and {7-Diamonds} . After the dust settled, Stein said that he folded the nut flush draw {a-Hearts} {7-Hearts} .

After that hand, Ippolito is one of our chip leaders, with 57,000.

Moorman Continues To Crush

tayke2

Action started with Hao Le raising it up to 650, and Chris Moorman responded with a three bet to 1,550. Steve Landfish was in the small blind, and he put in a four bet to 3,525. Both Le and Moorman came along for the ride, and the dealer fanned out a flop of {q-Clubs} {2-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} .

Landfish kept his foot on the gas with a bet of 6,500, and Le got out of the way. Moorman was next, and he put in a raise to 13,500. Landfish tossed in the call, and a big pot was brewing. The {7-Spades} came on the turn, and Landfish checked. Moorman assembled a bet of 24,000, which was more then Landfish had, and stuck it in, putting Landfish to a big decision. After about 45 seconds of thought, he flicked his cards into the muck, giving Moorman another big pot.
