Raghavan Flushed with Chips

Level 17 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Anton Morgenstern opened to 8,000 only to have Ravi Raghavan three-bet to 23,500 from the big blind. Morgenstern called and when faced with a 32,500-chip bet on the {9-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{5-Hearts} flop, he called that also.

The turn of the {8-Hearts} saw Raghavan push out three and a bit stacks to amount to a bet of 65,000. Morgenstern made the call, and when the {3-Hearts} landed on the river both players checked.

Raghavan tabled his {K-Spades}{K-Hearts} for a king-flush and took the

Play Resumes

Level 17 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

The cards are back in the air with every table still playing hand-for-hand until we lose one more.

We are also continuing at the previous level of 1,500-3,000 blinds until we do break the bubble.

Blinds: 2,000/4,000

Ante: 500

Bubble Hands Before the Break

Level 16 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Several hands just occurred during the break, to leave us needing one more elimination once everyone returns.

The first hand saw the action folded around to Barry Shulman on the button, who opened to 8,000. His opponent in the small blind then bumped it up to 20,500, which was called. The flop came down {q-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{2-Spades}, as the player in the small blind threw out a continuation bet of 13,000. Shulman quickly reached for chips, and raised it up to 33,000, which was enough to take down the pot.

In the next hand, and with the flop showing {4-Spades}{9-Spades}{j-Clubs}, Jonathan Cohen checked from under the gun, as JC Tran bet out 11,700. He was called, as the {4-Clubs} fell on turn. Another check call of 16,600 was witnessed, before the {7-Hearts} completed the board. Cohen checked once more, as Tran reached for his chips, before betting out 44,300. After thinking for almost a minute, Cohen made the call, before Tran tabled his {j-Hearts}{j-Spades} for a full house.

“Thought I was chopping,” said Cohen, as he rolled over his {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}.

The following hand, Jason Wheeler was positioned under the gun plus one, and tanked over his decision for several minutes, continuously looking around the room, before finally opting to raise it up to 6,500. The action folded around to Eric Baldwin in the small blind, who paused for a moment, before announcing all in, which had Wheeler covered. He looked around the room a few more times, before letting his hand go.

In the final hand before the break, Jeff Papola committed the last of his chips in holding {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds} and was called by Matt Berkey who had {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}. The board ran out {7-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}, to see Papola survive, as the players went on break.

Pritchard Doubles on Bubble

Level 16 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Catching the action with the board reading {Q-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{A-Spades}{2-Diamonds} we found Australian Jason Pritchard betting out 21,000 only to have his opponent move all in for over 175,000.

Pritchard went deep into the tank until several minutes went by and his opponent eventually decided to call time. As the clock ticked down, Pritchard announced, "Ok, time to gamble!"

Pritchard: {A-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}
Opponent: {K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}

Although thinking he was behind, Pritchard would be at a huge advantage to double through on the bubble, and when the {9-Clubs} completed the board on the river, he was up to over 200,000 in chips.
