Aggressive Hennigan Forces Fold

After a player raised to 1,300 and Tony Tran called, John Hennigan raised to 4,600. The initial raiser folded, but Tran called. The dealer then spread {4-Spades}{7-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} on the flop, and Tran led out for 6,000. Hennigan quickly raised to 15,000, and Tran went into the tank. After about a minute, he decided to fold, and "Johnny World" Hennigan took the pot. He's now up to 59,000.

Cates Rivers The Wheel

Daniel Cates raised it up to 1,500 in the cutoff, and the player on the button made the call. The flop came {k-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}, and Cates fired out the same bet, 1,500. His opponent called, and the {2-Spades} hit the turn. Cates bet out again, this time for 5,000, and again he was call. The {4-Diamonds} hit the river, and Cates kept his foot on the gas with a bet of 11,500.

His opponent snap called him, and Cates tabled {a-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} for a straight. His opponent mucked, and Cates took down the pot to up his stack to over 220,000.

Busquet Raises the River

Olivier Busquet (Day 1a)
Olivier Busquet (Day 1a)

When we arrived at Table 413, Dan Fleyshman had a bet of 13,000 sitting in front of him on the river of a {8-Hearts}{6-Spades}{3-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{2-Spades} board. His opponent, Olivier Busquet, opted to raise, making it 46,500 to go. Fleyshman asked for an amount, then shifted in his seat.

Arms crossed, Fleyshman studied Busquet, who stared down at a spot on the felt. Finally, Fleyshman flung forward a few orange T5,000 chips, and Busquet ripped over {5-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}.

"What's that?" Fleyshman asked, as the two were at opposite ends of the table.

"Straight," Busquet announced, just loud enough for Fleyshman to hear.

Fleyshman frowned at the bad news, and the dealer pulled his hand into the muck.

It's Just Not Fair

Action had folded all the way to Ryan Fair who was in the cutoff seat. He raised to 1,500. A few seats over the player on the button reraised all in for a just about 6,200. Action folded back to Fair and he quickly made the call.

All In: {A-Hearts}{6-Hearts}
Fair: {Q-Hearts}{J-Clubs}

The flop came down {6-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} which gave Fair a few more outs to a gutshot straight draw. The turn was the {K-Hearts} though, giving Fair and open-ended straight draw, but also taking away any heart as an out. The river was the {2-Hearts} and that gave the all in player the nut flush, allowing him to double up his very short stack through Fair.

Elisabeth Climbing the Hille

Elisabeth Hille (from Day 1a)
Elisabeth Hille (from Day 1a)

On a board of {9-Hearts}{5-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds} and the pot swelling at around 15,000 we found Elisabeth Hille betting out 10,500 only to have her opponent move all in for roughly 35,000.

Hille instantly called and tabled her {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} to have her opponent and his {K-Spades}{10-Diamonds} drawing dead.

The river changed nothing, and as Hille raked in the pot, multiple players on her table said a combination of "good hand" and "nice hand" as she quietly stacked her chips to roughly 130,000 and change.

Well he has been doing work in the second level, as he is now back up to 42,000. We will keep tabs on Smith to see if his crazy day continues.

DeWitt Takes Another DeHit

On the paired {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{6-Clubs} flop, one player checked to Jason DeWitt. DeWitt fired 2,100, and the player behind him raised to 5,400. The first player then called, and DeWitt also called.

The turn was the {J-Clubs}, and the first player checked. DeWitt bet 11,200, and the player behind who had raised the flop decided to fold. The first player then called.

The river completed the board with the {K-Diamonds}, and the first player led with a bet of 15,000. DeWitt tanked for a bit before folding and dropping back to under 100,000 in chips.
