Heimiller Bluffs Two Four His Tournament Life

Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante

The player under the gun raised to 1,200, the player in the small blind called, as did Dan Heimiller from the big blind. The flop was the {8-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} and all three players checked. The turn was the {10-Hearts} and the player in the small blind checked. Heimiller bet 2,200 and both opponents made the call. The river was the {k-Clubs} and again the player from the small blind checked.

Heimiller bet 7,000, leaving himself with only about 3,000 behind. When both players folded, Heimiller exhaled with relief and turned over {2-Spades}{4-Diamonds} for the stone-cold bluff.

Somerville Has Stacks

Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante

A raise to 1,200 from under the gun was called by Nick Yunis in the hijack, Jason Somerville in the cutoff and Matt Marafioti in the big blind. A flop reading {6-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} was checked by Marafioti and then bet to the tune of 2,800 from the initial raiser. Yunis folded, but Somerville raised to 7,500. Marafioti stepped out of the way and the under the gun player called.

The turn was the {10-Clubs} and it was checked to Somerville, who bet a similar size to his flop raise and made it 8,500. It was enough to get the job done because his opponent folded.

Loeser Doubles

Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante

Manig Loeser has doubled to around 28,000 as the ninth level's end nears.

Loeser three-bet from the button over the top of an early position raiser and then called when he was set all in. Loeser showed {J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds} and those jacks held versus {A-}{Q-} when the board ran out {K-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{K-Spades}{6-Clubs}.

Obrestad Takes a Hit

Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante

We caught the action with a completed board of {5-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{2-Spades}{6-Clubs} and over 20,000 in the middle. Annette Obrestad bet 14,100 into her heads-up opponent, Bart Hanson. Hanson thought for a while before eventually making the call.

Obrestad tapped the table and showed {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}, while Hanson tabled {a-Spades}{j-Spades}.

Boatman Runs Aground

Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante

The button opened to 1,350 and Barny Boatman called from the small blind. Boatman then check-called a 1,350 bet on the {2-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} while asking his opponent, "Have you hit that flop? What are you raising with that s**t for? I don't believe you!"

The turn brought the {A-Spades} into play and Boatman check-called a 3,000 bet. Boatman check-called for a third time on the {9-Clubs} river, this time a large bet of 7,900 only to be shown {A-Clubs}{9-Spades}. By Boatman's reaction, it looks as if he also had an ace that became second best on the river.

The Literal Best Hand Holds

Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante

"It doesn't get any better than this!" Tony Cousineau exclaimed, as he threw in the last of his chips from the small blind. "Literally," he finished his thought, drawing a few snickers from the table. Action folded to the original raiser, who reluctantly made the call for an additional 4,525.

Sure enough, Cousineau had the starting nuts, turning over {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts} versus the {k-Spades}{q-Clubs} of his opponent. The board ran out {3-}{j-}{6-}{3-}{3-} and Cousineau had the best of it... literally.
