Semin Pays Off a Bet

Level 4 : 75/150, 25 ante

A four-way pot saw about 2,000 stuck in the middle predraw in a hand that included Mikhail Semin and Darren Elias. We picked up the action with Semin and Elias checking to the player in early position who fired a bet worth 2,400. Semin was the only one to give some action and quickly mucked when his opponent tabled an {8-}{7-}{5-}{4-}{2-}.

Moomjian Catches Hoeppner to Double Up

Level 4 : 75/150, 25 ante

Cary Moomjian opened to 650 and James Hoeppner flatted on the button. The big blind then three-bet to 2,200. Moomjian called and Hoeppner moved all in for 12,000, covering both his opponents.

The big blind thought before folding and Moomjian was all in for 6,250 total.

Moomjian drew one and there was a pause of about thirty seconds before Hoeppner said, "You caught me," and drew two.

Hoeppner showed {7-}{4-}{2-}, but the {7-}{9-} meant he paired. Moomjian showed {7-}{6-}{5-}{4-}{2-} for a number four. "Ship it!" he said, as he doubled up.
