Pierre Triples On Three-Way All In

Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante

Frederic Pierre open-shoved all in from under the gun for 9,800 and a player in middle position also moved all in for 11,450. The player in the small blind was all in as well and we were three ways to the flop.

Pierre {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}

MP Opponent: {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}

SB Opponent: {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}

It was all over but the shoutin' on the flop of {k-Spades}{7-Spades}{2-Diamonds} and the board would run out {10-Spades}{6-Diamonds} as Pierre tripled.

"MooHaHa" Lowers the Volume

Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante

There appears to have been a complaint from another table in the room about Justin Morgenstern’s loud, raucous and frequent laugh. When questioned the floor remained tight lipped and hurried away and the larger security officer standing near the table insisted his presence in the area was merely a coincidence.

Whatever the truth the volume has certainly been toned down in the last few minutes and Hellmuth has been able to explain to another player how he gets in the zone when he is playing hold'em and how good his reads are at the moment.

Baumann Bows Out

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

Gaelle Baumann got back from the break and committed the last of her chips with the {a-Hearts}{j-Spades} against an opponent's {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}.

“I’ve got two chances,” Baumann said, but the flop {8-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{7-Clubs} did not favor her. A slightly cruel turn ({j-Hearts}) and river ({a-Hearts}) were no help and she told the table it was nice playing with them and headed off.

Citrone Crashes

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

Carlo Citrone bet 1,900 on a flop of {6-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{4-Clubs} and faced a raise of 6,000. He pondered it for a while breaking his stack down and finally moved all in. His opponent asked for a count and it was over 10,000 more to call, but call he did.

Citrone held {j-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} but had been comprehensively out flopped by the {6-Clubs}{4-Hearts}. The turn {q-Clubs} and {5-Clubs} river couldn’t improve his hand and his chip count was reduced to zero.

Bolotin Shoves Goes Uncalled

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

Alex Bolotin is in push-or-fold mode and he just did the former a few moments ago. First to act under the gun, Bolotin raised all-in for 6,700 and although the button dwelled for close to 90 seconds, Bolotin's bet went uncalled and the recent WSOP bracelet winner added the blinds and antes to his short stack.
