Kuether Rebuilding

Level 5 : 400/800, 0 ante

We arrived at the table to see Joe Kuether put in a third bet on the turn with the board reading {K-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{4-Hearts}. His lone opponent called the re-raise, and the {10-Diamonds} fell on the river. Kuether bet, his opponent called, and Kuether tabled {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for a turned flush.

Despite being low in chips just before the dinner break, Kuether has built his stack back up to 15,500.

Yu's Boat Is Bigger

Level 5 : 400/800, 0 ante

We picked up with the action on a board of {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{5-Hearts} to find Ben Yu check-raise David Chiu. Chiu called to see the final card.

The {9-Hearts} struck the river and the exact river action was unknown, but after a series of bets and raises, Chiu tabled {Q-Spades}{9-Spades} for queens full of nines. It turned out to be the second best hand, however, as Yu rolled over {A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} for queens full of aces. Yu dragged in the pot and is now sitting on about 38,000 in chips while Chiu has fallen to around 16,000.

Former Main Event Champion Down

Level 4 : 300/600, 0 ante

David "ODB" Baker raised to 600 from middle position and action folded around to 2001 World Series of Poker Main Event champ Carlos Mortensen, who made the call from the big blind. Mortensen then checked the {2-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} flop, Baker bet and Mortensen woke up with a check-raise to 600, leaving himself the same amount behind. Baker pushed back with a three-bet and then called when Mortensen four-bet all in.

Mortensen: {a-Diamonds}{8-Spades}
Baker: {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

Baker held top set, which meant Mortensen was in need of either an ace or running diamons. The {6-Clubs} turn was no help and neither was the {6-Clubs} river. Mortensen silently gathered his things and exited the Amazon Room.
