Hoivold's House

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 0 ante

Both players seated in the hijack and cut-off, limped into the pot, before Andreas Hoivold raised to 5,500 from the button. He was called by the player in the hijack, as the flop came down {5-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{3-Hearts}.

A snap announcement of pot, was followed by an all in, and then a call, as both players tabled their cards.

Hoivold: {A-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}
Opponent: {4-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{5-Spades}

Hoivold scooped the pot on the river, as the board ran out the {2-Clubs} and {3-Clubs}, to see him move up to 72,000 in chips.

Ahmed Thankful

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 0 ante

The player on the button opened to 3,500, before Owais Ahmed potted to 11,300. With only 5,000 behind, Ahmed was surprised, when his opponent just made the call, as the flop came down {K-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{9-Spades}.

“I pot,” sighed Ahmed, not sounding to confident about getting the last of his chips in. He wasn’t called instantly though, as his opponent went into the tank.

“I guess I call,” replied Ahmed’s opponent, tabling his {5-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{8-Spades}{4-Diamonds} which was behind to Ahmed’s {A-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{2-Spades}.

It was all over when the {9-Clubs} came on the turn, as the meaningless {a-Spades} completed the board.

“Thanks friend,” joked Ahmed, as he moves up to 33,400 in chips.

Giannetti Scoops Sands and Yockey

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 0 ante

As we arrived at the table, we saw that Matt Giannetti, David Sands, and Bryce Yockey were in a three way pot on a flop of {7-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{4-Spades}. All three players had 3,700 in front of them, and the turn was the {9-Clubs}. It was checked through, and the river brought the {8-Diamonds}. It was checked to Giannetti, who fired out 8,000. Sands thought it over for a minute or two before calling, and Yockey did the exact same thing.

Giannetti rolled over {k-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for a flush and third best low. This had both of his opponents beat, as they mucked their hands. After that hand, Giannetti is one of our leaders with 93,000.

Lisando Eliminates One

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 0 ante

The action started with the player in middle position opening to 3,200, before being with an all in bet of 6,000 from the player in the hijack. Jeff Lisandro made the call from the small blind, as the original better asked him for a count of his stack. After receiving the amount, he also made the call, as all three saw the flop come {8-Spades}{5-Spades}{5-Clubs}.The two then opted to check it down, as the all-in player was first to show his {A-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{3-Spades}{J-Clubs}.

“Oh my gosh,” said the all-in player, as Lisandro showed his {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{2-Spades}{3-Clubs}. The queen played as the better kicker for Lisandro, as he took down the pot.

David Greene- Bubble Boy

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 0 ante

It only took two hands for us to lose our bubble boy, and that unfortunate player was David Greene. Unafraid of the bubble, Green open shoved for his last 3,000, and got calls from Daniel Strelitz and Randen Honigman. Those two checked down the flop, {8-Spades}{9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}, and the turn, {2-Diamonds}. On the river, the {7-Spades}, Strelitz check called a bet of 3,200 from Honigman.

Honigman: {a-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}
Strelitz: {2-Hearts}{2-Spades}{7-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}
Greene: {a-}{k-}{q-}{5-}

It was a bad run out for Greene, as his opponents made the nut low and a full house. With his elimination, we are now in the money!

This time Mercier’s opponent checked, before folding his hand, when faced with a bet of 6,800.
