Bad Timing for McDonald

[user269680]
[user269680]
Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

We walked up to the action with the board reading {j-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{7-Spades}{10-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} and Matthew Haugen checking to Mike McDonald. McDonald slid out a bet of 20,000 and Haugen thought for a moment before eventually making the call. McDonald turned over {8-Spades}{4-Spades} and Haugen tabled {j-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for second pair.

McDonald's bluff had been picked off and Haugen is building early here on Day 2.

Inevitably as the bubble has burst players are more willing to gamble with their short stacks. The following players have no more chips.

Hellmuth Reunited

Phil Hellmuth

Will Failla has just been moved to Phil Hellmuth’s table and the verbal jousting has started immediately. Failla promised to go to war and the told the table, “I knocked Phil out of five Main Events.”

Hellmuth recalled a particularly painful example when Failla’s {a-}{q-} bested his {8-}{8-}. Let the fireworks begin.

Big Hand = Big Pot for Suller

Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Debbie Motycka opened to 3,600 from early position and Mary Carey pushed all in for 10,000 from right behind. Shaun Suller called from the small blind with about 15,000 behind and Motycka called as well. The flop was {k-Hearts}{6-Spades}{a-Diamonds} and Suller led for 4,000.

"I'll put him all in," Motycka said and Suller made the quick call.

Suller: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Motycka: {a-Hearts}{8-Spades}
Carey: {4-Spades}{4-Hearts}

The board completed {6-Clubs}, then {10-Clubs}, and Suller's set of kings brought him a nice little pot.

Smith On the Move, Joins Dube

Mark Dube
Mark Dube

Dan Smith has joined overnight chip leader Mark Dube’s table so two of the big stacks are in one place. They are both wearing glasses and have their hoodies up.

Just now Smith opened a pot from early position for 3,800 and Jonas Wexler raised from the button to 10,000, leaving 35,000 behind. Smith checked the numbers, did some mental calculation, and threw in the call.

The flop was {8-Spades}{5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}. Smith checked and Wexler moved all in. Smith looked frustrated and thought the now-changed puzzle over for close to a minute before releasing his hand.

“What could he have?” Smith asked aloud. “I had ace-queen.”

“I put him on ace-jack.” Smith’s neighbor helpfully informed him.

Smith Slickly Takes a Big One

Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

A player opened to 4,000 from the button and Dan Smith three-bet to 13,500 from the big blind. The flop came {k-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{4-Spades} and Smith continued for 9,000 with his opponent raising to 22,000. Smith made the call and both players checked after the {a-Diamonds} turn.

The river was the {k-Clubs} and Smith bet 16,000. His opponent thought for a moment and eventually made the call. Smith turned over {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds} for the full house and his opponent mucked.
