Brunson Getting Paid

Doyle Brunson
Doyle Brunson

The player in middle position opened to 2,500, and was called by Doyle Brunson in the cutoff. The big blind also called, as the three saw the flop come down {10-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{2-Clubs}. The big blind checked, before the original better threw out a continuation bet of 6,600. Only Brunson made the call, as the {q-Hearts} fell on the turn. The action was checked to Brunson, who bet out 16,000, which was called. The {9-Hearts} completed the board, as Brunson bet out 45,000. His opponent quickly called, before mucking his hand, after Brunson showed the {k-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} for the nut straight.

Mathis Cracks Aces to Soar Up Leader Board

Marty Mathis
Marty Mathis

Catching the action with Marty Mathis having 14,000 in front of him and Justin Adams raising to 24,000 from the small blind, the action was back on Mathis in the cutoff. Mathis pushed all in for over 150,000 and Adams made the call for roughly his last 60,000.

Adams: {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}
Mathis: {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}

With Mathis trailing but having Adams covered, the {J-Spades}{8-Spades}{7-Diamonds} flop gave him an additional four outs to go along with his two tens.

The turn changed little as it landed the {4-Spades}, but when the river saw the {10-Hearts} spike, Adams was left to hit the rail as Mathis soared to 305,000 in chips.

Busquet Picks Off a Bluff

On the river, there was about 30,000 in the pot and the board showed {3-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}. Olivier Busquet checked, and then faced a bet of 8,600. Busquet quickly called, and his opponent showed {k-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} for no pair, and Busquet turned over {q-Spades}{10-Spades} for a winning pair of tens. After stacking his new chips, Busquet is up to 110,000.

Raghavan Raises River

Annette Obrestad raised it up to 2,500 from under the gun, and Ravi Raghavan was the lone caller from the button. The dealer fanned out a flop of {6-Spades}{7-Spades}{j-Hearts}, and Obrestad led for 3,600. Raghavan called, then the {6-Clubs} came on the turn. Obrestad fired again, this time for 8,500, Raghavan called again, and the river was the {9-Hearts}. Obrestad fired a third bullet for 27,000, and this time, Raghavan didn't call. He elected to raise it up to 87,000, and Obrestad kicked her hand in.

Obrestad is still plenty fine after losing that one, sitting on 209,000, while Raghavan jumped up to 237,000.

Adeniya Double v2.0

Martins Adeniya had just received a double up through Luca Pagano, and was right back to the same tricks on the very next hand, doubling up again.

Picking up the action on the paired {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} flop, Kenneth Raskin and a second player checked before Sergio Castelluccio fired 7,100. Luca Pagano made the call, and then Martins Adeniya raised it up to 17,600. Action fell back on Raskin, and he reraised to 35,000. After the next player folded, so did Castelluccio and Pagano. Adeniya then moved all in for 54,400, and Raskin made the call.

Adeniya showed the {3-Spades}{3-Clubs} for a full house, and Raskin had the {K-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} for trip nines.

"Wow," commented Raskin when he saw Adeniya's hand. "Can't believe that."

The turn was the {J-Clubs} and the river the {Q-Hearts}. Adeniya's full house held up, and he won the pot to double for the second hand in a row. Just like that, Adeniya moved to around 135,000 in chips. Raskin was left with 53,000.

Dunst Dips

Tony Dunst just now found himself facing a decision on the river after he and an opponent had together contributed about 80,000 worth of chips to the pot as the board came {K-Spades}{J-Spades}{K-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}.

Fifth street saw Dunst check and his opponent move all in for about 58,000. Dunst had only a little more than that behind, and after sitting for some time Dunst finally slipped his cards out from underneath the chip he had protecting them and sent them face down back to the dealer.

Elder Nearing 300,000

Rupert Elder checked the turn on a board of {7-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{a-Diamonds} after his lone opponent checked to him. The river was a {2-Hearts}, and Elder's opponent again checked. This time, Elder dropped 22,800 in the middle. His opponent folded, and Elder continues to climb the counts.

More for Merson

Greg Merson
Greg Merson

There was an early position raise to 2,500 and a call in the small blind before 2012 World Series of Poker Main Event champion Greg Merson three-bet to 9,000 out of the big blind. Only the original raiser called.

The flop fell {6-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{9-Clubs}, both players checked, and the {a-Clubs} turned. Merson led out for 10,700, his opponent called, and the {k-Spades} completed the board. Merson reached for a handful of T5,000 chips, cut out 40,000, then went back for more, hurling forward enough to put his opponent all in.

The player quickly folded, and Merson pulled in the pot.

Matusow Folding To Raises

Mike Matusow has folded to a raise or reraise in the last two pots he entered, not ideal when sitting below a 30-big blind stack.

The first hand Matusow led out for 5,100 on a {5-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{4-Clubs} flop and his opponent raised to 10,200. Matusow folded and his opponent took the pot.

The second hand found Matusow raise to 3,000 preflop. His raise was followed by a reraise to 6,800 and another caller came in behind. When action returned to Matusow, he again folded.

While sitting on a short stack, Matusow is playing patient and maintaining his composure. Don't count him out just yet.
