Pollock Holds Against Scaife

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Josh Pollock and John Scaife got all in on a flop of {10-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{4-Hearts}.

Pollock: {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}
Scaife: {k-Hearts}{j-Hearts}

Pollock's overpair was in the lead, but he had plenty of outs to fade: any king, heart or queen would improve Scaife's hand. The turn brought a {10-Spades}, closing out Scaife's straight outs. The river was the {q-Diamonds}, improving Pollock to a full house and leaving Scaife with about 10 big blinds.

Three-Way All In at Table 447; Gandhi Eliminated

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Richard Robinson raised to 25,000 from under the gun, and action folded over to Nikunj Gandhi on the button. He reshoved for 150,000, and Rep Porter quickly responded by moving all in from the small blind, having both players easily covered. Robinson announced a call for 387,000, and three players were playing for a big pot with five cards to come.

Gandhi: {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}
Porter: {J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}
Robinson: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}

Robinson was in excellent position against two underpairs, and his queens held up through the {10-Spades}{5-Hearts}{4-Spades}{A-Spades}{9-Diamonds} board. Gandhi was eliminated, and Porter dipped to 1.23 million.

Denis Finds a Double

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

We arrived at the table, just as Estelle Denis committed the last of her chips into the middle. She was called by Christopher Kinane, as both players then tabled their cards.

Denis: {a-Spades}{A-Clubs}
Kinane: {A-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

The board ran out {8-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{5-Clubs} to see Denis’ ace high flush take down the pot. She now moves up to 650,000 in chips.

Biscuits for Bardah On Broadway

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Ronnie Bardah
Ronnie Bardah

Action folded to Ronnie Bardah in the small blind, and he raised to 29,000 against Kevin Allen's big blind. Allen called, and the flop came down {A-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{8-Clubs}. Bardah led with a bet of 23,000, and Allen called.

On the turn, the {10-Diamonds} fell. Bardah slid forward a bet of 64,000, and Allen made another call. Then, the {4-Spades} completed the board on the river. Bardah fired 145,000, which was just about half of what Allen had left. Allen tanked for a bit, then made the call.

Bardah showed the {K-Clubs}{J-Hearts} for a Broadway straight, and Allen mucked his hand. We overheard Allen mention two pair, but his exact words were unclear, and Bardah was pushed the pot. Allen was left with 193,000.

On the next hand, the player in the cutoff seat opened to 27,000. Bardah then three-bet to 56,000 on the button and won the pot.

After those two hands, Bardah now sits with 975,000 in chips.

"One million biscuits!" yelled Bardah after the hand. "Biscuits baby!"

Emond Adds More

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

A hand that began as a multi-way pot with a raise and couple of callers cleared out to become heads-up between Marc Emond and Ara Melikian thanks to a three-bet by Emond out of the blinds.

The flop came {10-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{10-Spades}, and Emond continued for 215,000. Melikian thought for a while, then called the bet.

Both players then checked the {4-Diamonds} turn and {4-Clubs}, with lots of deliberation along the way. Emond then tabled {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}, and Melikian mucked.
