Hard To Get Value From Sorel

Sorel Mizzi
Sorel Mizzi

Action began with a raise to 2,400 from under the gun. Only one player called the raise before Sorel Mizzi three-bet to 7,000 on the button. Both blinds folded back to the player under the gun. He four-bet to 22,400. The player who originally called folded, but Mizzi tagged along.

The flop came down {6-Spades}{9-Clubs}{2-Spades} and the player under the gun checked. Mizzi put out a bet of 15,200. With action back on the under the gun player he tanked for about a minute before announcing that he was all in for 92,800 total. Mizzi went into the tank. It would've cost him just about his entire stack to make the call. After a few minutes in the tank, Mizzi finally folded his hand telling his opponent that he had a big hand.

"It's very hard to get value from you," the player asked. "How big was it?"

"Ace queen," Mizzi said.

"I had ace king," the player said. "One hundred dollars and I'll show."

Everyone declined so the player just mucked his hand. Mizzi mumbled something under his breath about not believing the player. Either way, after that hand Mizzi dropped just under 100,000 chips.

Galfond and Hennigan Fold, Brummelhuis Amongst Leaders

Following a raise to 3,000, John Hennigan, Michiel Brummelhuis and a third player made the call before Phil Galfond three-bet to 12,600 from the small blind. Only Hennigan and Brummelhuis made the call as the flop landed {2-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} and Galfond slid out a 17,000 chip bet.

Hennigan took his time before making the call as Brummelhuis also came along before the dealer dropped the {J-Clubs} on the turn. Galfond eyed both of his opponents' stacks before cutting out a bet of 42,000 which was called by Hennigan before Brummelhuis pushed his chips into the pot amounting to an all in of 118,7000.

Galfond didn't take too long to decide upon a fold, but Hennigan was a different story as he went deep into the tank for close to four minutes before eventually releasing his hand to see Brummelhuis collect the pot to move to roughly 297,000 in chips.

Adeniya Double v1.0

After an under-the-gun raise to 2,600 and a call from the cutoff seat, Luca Pagano reraised to 6,800 on the button. In the next seat was Martins Adeniya on the button. He four-bet all in for 24,400. Action then folded back around to Pagano. He got the count from the dealer, then called.

Pagano showed the {A-Hearts}{Q-Spades} and was dominated by the {A-Spades}{K-Clubs} for the at-risk Adeniya. The flop, turn and river ran out {J-Spades}{8-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{K-Spades}{2-Hearts}, and Adeniya doubled up. Pagano was left with 73,500 in chips.

Speaking of Adeniya, our very own Kristy Arnett caught up with him on one of the early breaks to talk about some strategy in a hand he played on Day 1a of the Main Event wherein he decided to fold top two pair in a monster pot. Check that out below.

Seiver Stacks Opponent After Perfect Flop

Scott Seiver
Scott Seiver

We walked up to the table to see Scott Seiver in the middle of a massive heads up pot. The flop read {5-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{2-Hearts}, and we saw that Seiver had a bet of 5,200 out in front of him. He had been raised to 16,200, and it was back on Seiver when we arrived. Seiver cut out a reraise of 35,000, and stuck it in the middle. His opponent quickly and quietly announced all in, and Seiver snap called him.

Seiver: {a-Hearts}{4-Hearts}
Opponent: {k-Hearts}{j-Hearts}

Seiver had flopped the second nut straight, and had his opponent drawing dead to a chop, as Seiver also has his flush draw dominated. The {8-Spades} on the turn ended things, and the meaningless river was the {a-Clubs}.

After taking that hand down, Seiver is now up to 138,000.

Giannetti Busts

Matt Giannetti (earlier in the series)
Matt Giannetti (earlier in the series)

We arrived at the table, just as the action fell on the player in the small blind, who moved all in. Matt Giannetti was on the big blind, and made the call for less.

Giannetti: {a-Hearts}{4-Spades}
Opponen: {K-Spades}{8-Spades}

The board ran out {5-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{5-Hearts} to see Giannetti’s opponent flop an eight, eliminating him from the tournament.

Ticehurst Goes for the Check-Raise; Lehmanski Busts

Darrell Ticehurst checked to Patrick Renkers on a flop of {8-Clubs}{j-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}. The Dutchman fired out 9,200, Ticehurst check-raised to 20,700, and Renkers tanked for a bit before folding.

A few hands later, Renkers regained a few more chips, eliminating a short-stacked Max Lehmanski.

Glantz Drops Some

Matt Glantz opened from middle position for 2,500 and got a single caller in an opponent playing from the cutoff seat. The flop came {Q-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}, and Glantz continued with another bet of 2,500, called by his opponent. Both then checked after the {7-Clubs} fell on fourth street.

The river brought the {9-Diamonds}, and once more Glantz tapped the felt to check. His opponent pushed out a final river bet, and when Glantz called, his opponent showed {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} for top pair, top kicker, and Glantz mucked his hand.

Moffatt Puts Masek to the Test

Colin Moffatt raised to 2,500 on the button, and Alex Masek defended his big blind aggressively to the tune of 6,400. Moffatt made the call, and the two saw a flop of {k-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{10-Spades}. Masek continuation-bet 5,400, and Moffatt jammed to put him all in. Masek counted out his stack and thought for about a minue before letting his hand go.

Elias Takes One from Dunst

Darren Elais opened to 2,600 from late position and Tony Dunst defended his big blind to see a {A-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{Q-Spades} flop fall with Elias continuing for 2,800.

Dunst tossed in chips to make the call as the {6-Spades} landed on the turn. Dunst checked and Elias continued for 8,000 with Dunst quickly folding while slipping to 117,000 as Elias climbs to 100,000 in chips.
