Ace Good for Mueller

Level 6 : 400/800, 0 ante

We arrived at the table on the turn as Greg Mueller bet into two players with the board reading {k-Spades}{3-Spades}{3-Clubs}{3-Hearts}. One player folded, but Bill Chen called, and the {3-Diamonds} hit the table on the river. Mueller bet out again, and Chen thought for a few moments before reluctantly pushing forward a call. Mueller tabled {a-Spades}{8-Diamonds}, for an ace kicker to go with the quad three on the board. Chen mucked his cards, and Mueller raked in the pot.

Straight for Porter

Level 6 : 400/800, 0 ante

Rep Porter opened the preflop action with a raise, and JC Tran three-bet. Porter called, and the dealer spread {q-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} for the flop. Porter check-called Tran's bet, then did so again on the {9-Hearts} turn. Both players checked the {j-Clubs} on the river. Porter turned over {10-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for a rivered straight, and Tran mucked.

Porter was up to 25,000 after the hand, and Tran had 9,000 in front of him.

Joe Cassidy raised raised preflop, and Daniel Negreanu made it three bets. A third player called, and Cassidy called as well.

Negreanu called, and the {2-Clubs} hit the felt on the river. Cassidy bet out again, and Negreanu called. Cassidy tabled {j-Clubs}{10-Hearts} for a flush, and Negreanu mucked.

After the hand, Cassidy was up to 20,500 in chips, while Negreanu fell to 10,000.

Andre Akkari
Andre Akkari

Mohsin Charania opened with an early position raise only to find Andre Akkari three-bet him from a couple of seats down. It came back around to Charania who called the raise.

The flop came {10-Clubs}{K-Spades}{3-Hearts} and Charania checked. Akkari continued out and Charania called to see fourth street. The dealer rapped the table and produced the {7-Hearts}. Charania checked again and Akkari fired out. Charania called and the {9-Clubs} finished off the board. The action went check, bet, call once more and Akkari showed {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs} for a flopped set of kings. Charania mucked his hand and Akkari dragged in the pot. The 2011 WSOP bracelet winner is now sitting on about 41,000 in chips.

Monnette Busts

Level 5 : 400/800, 0 ante
John Monnette
John Monnette

John Monne raised preflop, and everyone folded except Faith Klimczak, who defended her big blind. The flop came {10-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}, and Klimczak checked. Monnette bet, and Klimczak called to see the {5-Spades} fall on the turn. Monnette again bet, this time for his last 700. Klimczak called, putting Monnette at risk, and the players turned up their cards:

Monnette: {k-Hearts}{j-Clubs}
Klimczak: {6-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}

Monnette had the lead with his top pair, but Klimczak had a lot of outs with bottom pair and a flush draw. The river was the {q-Diamonds}, giving Klimczak her flush and eliminating Monnette from the tournament.

Mueller Makes a Set

Level 5 : 400/800, 0 ante

Greg Mueller, who late-registered and recently took his seat at a new table, is already thriving in this tournament. We arrived at the table to hear the dealer say "Three bets" in a hand between Mueller and Eric Froehlich on a flop of {6-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}. Beyond that unknown action, we found the two heads up to the {10-Spades} on the turn. Mueller checked and Froehlich fired out. Mueller immediately clicked it back and Froehlich flat called.

Mueller fired one last bet after the {K-Diamonds} river and Froehlich called. Mueller showed {3-Spades}{3-Clubs} for a set of treys and Froehlich mucked his cards. Mueller dragged in the pot and is now sitting around about 22,000.
