Bellande Short

Level 4 : 250/500, 50 ante

After complaining about excessively slow play at Table 365, Jean-Robert Bellande called a bet of what looked like 7,700 from 2011 PCA Main Event champion, Galen Hall, on a board of {8-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}.

The river was the {k-Clubs}. Hall led out for 20,875 and Bellande quickly called. Hall turned over {7-Spades}{7-Hearts} for a set of sevens and Bellande checked his cards one final time before tossing them into the muck.

Ryan D'Angelo Doubles Through Vanessa Selbst

Level 4 : 250/500, 50 ante

With about 13,000 in the pot and the board reading {Q-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{5-Hearts}, Vanessa Selbst (small blind) and Ryan D'Angelo (button) checked to see the {10-Hearts} turn.

Selbst bet 5,800, D'Angelo called and the {K-Spades} landed on the river. Selbst effectively bet 21,850 and D'Angelo called with {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} for a set of tens. Selbst mucked, giving D'Angelo the pot.

Schwartz Shoves

Level 4 : 250/500, 50 ante

When we arrived at Table 370, Noah Schwartz was all in for 35,800 on a board of {q-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{8-Clubs}. There was roughly 50,000 in the middle before Schwartz shoved his stack forward and Al Decarolis went into the tank.

Without announcing anything, Decarolis revealed {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} and continued to tank. He confirmed the bet amount, thought for a few more seconds, then folded.

Schwartz chipped up to around 86,000, while Decarolis - despite taking a hit - is up around 300,000.

Jason Somerville

John Hennigan checked to Jason Somerville on a board of {q-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}. The Run it UP king fired out 5,500 and Hennigan called.

The river was the suicide king ({k-Hearts}). Hennigan led out for 10,000; Somerville quickly called.

"You got it," Hennigan announced, signifying a bluff.

Somerville turned over {5-Clubs}{5-Hearts} for a full house and Hennigan studied the hand for a beat before mucking.
