Watts Can't Lose

Level 23 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Kima Kimura opened to 51,000 from middle position, before being met with a raise to 125,000 from Steven Watts to her left.

She made the call, as both saw the flop come down {6-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{3-Hearts}. Kimura checked, before Watts quickly bet out 250,000. With only 345,000 behind, Kimura opted to fold.

Watts then showed his {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades} as he raked in the pot.

“I got my lucky massager. I can’t lose,” Watts added after the hand.

Back-to-Back Pots Put Jaffe Over Five Million

Level 23 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Jonathan Jaffe raised it up to 52,000 in middle position, and Rep Porter reraised it to 112,000 on the button. Jaffe called to see a flop of {q-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{5-Diamonds} come out, and both players checked. The turn brought the {6-Spades}, and Jaffe bet out 122,000. Porter called, and when the {2-Spades} hit the river, Jaffe moved all in. Porter folded, and Jaffe took down the pot.

On the next hand, Jaffe 52,000, Porter called from the cutoff. The flop ran down {9-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{7-Diamonds}, and Jaffe tossed out 64,000. Porter called, and both players would go on to check the {5-Clubs} turn, and the {j-Clubs} river. Jaffe showed {A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} for ace high, and it was good enough to beat Porter, who mucked his hand.

Mortensen Doubles Again

Level 23 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
Carlos Mortensen
Carlos Mortensen

Carlos Mortensen put in a preflop raise, and Maxx Coleman three-bet to 250,000. Mortensen then re-raised all in for 712,000, and Coleman quickly called.

Mortensen: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}
Coleman: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}

The flop fell {10-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}, missing both players. The turn was the {k-Diamonds}, giving Coleman an open-ended straight draw. However, a queen would now give Mortensen a straight, and Mortensen held two of Coleman's straight outs. However, it was a good card for Coleman, increasing his outs from two to six. The dealer then put the {j-Clubs} on the felt for the river, and Mortensen doubled up.

This is Mortensen's second double up in the past few hands, and he now has 1,526,000

Halling Hurting

Level 23 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Gaetano Preite raised to 52,000 from early position and Fredrik Halling called from middle position. Action folded over to Roberto Damelian, who three-bet to 122,000 from the button. Preite folded, and Halling called.

On the {Q-Spades}{9-Hearts}{4-Spades} flop, Halling checked and Damelian bet 162,000. Halling called, and the {10-Diamonds} hit the turn. Halling quickly knuckled the table, and Damelian fired again, this time for 350,000. Halling called.

The river was the {3-Diamonds}, and Halling checked for a third time. Damelian moved all in, and after a few minutes pondering a decision, Halling folded, leaving himself with just over 550,000. Damelian, meanwhile, is closing in on 3 million.

Pellegrino in Trouble

Level 23 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Hoa Luong moved all in for 256,000 from the cutoff seat, and Bryan Pellegrino called on the button. Both blinds released.

Luong: {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Pellegrino: {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}

Pellegrino was ahead, and held dominating hearts, but the flop fell {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{8-Diamonds} to give Luong trip tens. The hand was over when the {3-Clubs} turned, and a meaningless {a-Spades} completed the board.

Luong doubled to 568,000 chips, while Pellegrino slipped to 605,000.

David Benefield
David Benefield

We missed the exact details, but Christopher Kinane check-called a bet from David Benefield on every street as the board came {3-Hearts}{3-Spades}{9-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{5-Clubs}. Kinane showed {q-Spades}{q-Clubs} for a pair of queens, but it was no good against Benefield's {k-Spades}{k-Hearts} for a pair of kings.

Benefield is up to three million chips, while Kinane is down to 865,000.
