Brunson Runs into Straight Flush

Doyle Brunson ran into the stone nuts.
Doyle Brunson ran into the stone nuts.

Three players had seen a flop of {8-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{7-Clubs}, and the player under the gun bet 3,000 when checked to. Both the small blind and Doyle Brunson in the big blind called. The turn was a {6-Hearts}, and the small blind bet out 4,000. Both of his opponents called. A {j-Clubs} hit the river, and the small blind checked. Brunson tossed out 12,000, and the under-the-gun player immediately moved all in for just a few thousand more. Brunson called after the small blind folded.

Brunson showed {q-Spades}{9-Hearts} for a queen high-straight.

"Straight flush," Brunson's opponent said excitedly, tabling {9-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for the absolute nuts. He took down the pot.

Meyers Folds; Still Looking Healthy

Following a raise to 2,600 from middle position, Brandon Meyers made the call from the button to see a {3-Hearts}{4-Spades}{A-Hearts} flop spread by the dealer.

The preflop raiser checked to Meyers who tossed in a bet of 3,000 which was check-called as the {8-Clubs} landed on the turn.

Meyers would then himself be faced with a bet of 5,000 which he responded to by kicking his cards to the muck while slipping to 138,000 in chips.

Balsiger Extremely Short

We walked by to notice Jake Balsiger sitting with about 4,000 in chips. After snooping around, we found out that he moved all in with a pair and flush draw just prior to the dinner break and did not get there. He has been sitting patiently on his 4 big blind stack since the players returned from dinner, even through one round of blinds. It won't be long now before he doubles or busts. Which will it be?

Warne Rivered

Shane Warne
Shane Warne

We arrived at the table to see the flop showing {7-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{k-Spades} and 10,000 chips in the pot.

The player in the big blind checked over to Shane Warne, who bet out 3,300 from under the gun. There was a third player in the hand, but he folded his hand. The {3-Clubs} fell on the turn, and a quick check was met with another bet of 4,400, which was called.

The {q-Hearts} completed the board, before the player on the big blind announced he had a queen, before tabling his {q-Spades}{j-Spades}. Warne was taken back momentarily, before mucking his hand.

Top Two for Xuan Liu

Xuan Liu
Xuan Liu

We caught up with the action on the flop, which came down {k-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{6-Hearts}. We saw Liu check call a bet of 2,500 from her lone opponent, and the turn brought the {8-Diamonds}. Both players checked, and the {q-Spades} hit the river. Liu thought for only a few moments before tossing out a bet of 5,100, and her opponent quickly tossed out chips for the call.

Liu showed {k-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} for top two pair, and her opponent flashed the {k-Diamonds} before mucking his hand. After taking that pot down, Liu is now up to 124,000.

Chip Counts from Amazon Purple

Castellucio Avoids Pagano's Aces

Luca Pagano
Luca Pagano

On one of the first hands of Level 9, Sergio Castellucio opened with a raise from middle position, then Luca Pagano put in a three-bet behind him and the table folded back to Pagano's fellow countryman. Castellucio considered for about a half-minute, then let his hand go, at which Pagano flipped over his {A-}{A-} briefly before tossing the cards high in the air as he delivered them back to the dealer.

Pagano then gestured to Castellucio as though pushing in his chips, communicating what he'd wished Castellucio had done rather than fold.

Nitsche Gives Up on the River

Mikhail Shalamov raised to 2,200 in early position, Dominik Nitsche three-bet to 5,200 on his direct left, and the action folded back to the Russian, who called. The flop fell {9-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}, Shalamov checked, and Nitsche fired out 6,500. Shalamov called.

The turn was a repeat nine - the {9-Hearts} - and Shalamov checked again. Nitsche quickly tossed out 15,500, and Shalamov called.

The {k-Diamonds} completed the board, both players checked, and Shalamov rolled over {q-Hearts}{q-Spades} for queens and nines. Nitsche mucked.

Elias Clips Dunst

Tony Dunst
Tony Dunst

Tony Dunst opened for 2,000 from under the gun and a player called in middle position before Darren Elias three-bet the cutoff to 6,600. Dunst responded by making it 14,500 to force the middle position player out before Elias came along.

The dealer dropped a {6-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{4-Spades} flop and Dunst led for 13,500 with Elias making the call as the {3-Clubs} on the turn, and the {8-Hearts} on the river was checked through by both players.

Dunst rolled over his {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades}, but it would be Elias' {J-Spades}{9-Spades} that would see him capture the pot to move to 95,000 as Dunst slipped to 135,000 in chips.

Pollak Bets, Collects

Kevin Pollak — who finished 134th in the WSOP Main Event a year ago — has returned from the dinner break along with everyone else and was ready to get involved as soon as cards went back in the air.

After watching a player in early position raise to 2,000, Pollak called the bet as did the big blind, and all three watched the dealer spread a {3-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{5-Spades}. It checked around, then after the {4-Hearts} turn it checked to Pollak who fired 4,500 and the other two players quickly folded.

The comedian and actor currently sits with about 42,000, up considerably from the 16,725 with which he began the day.
