Martin Gets Heaps of Value from McCormick

Jan_Kores

Level 27 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

"Couldn't make a straight," Tom McCormick said. While he'd been able to grind his way back to 430,000 or so, he lost it almost all in a contest against Jesse Martin.

Martin completed with a three in the door and then three-bet over McCormick's raise. McCormick called and called more bets on every single street including the river.

Martin value-towned McCormick with trip threes and McCormick was second with his nines up and a busted open-ended straight draw.

Benjamin Dobson completed with the , Richard Monroe raised with the and James Nelson cold-called with the .

Dobson continued and then caught good with the , so he bet and got two calls. Everything went crazy on fifth street, though, as Monroe paired nines and bet, Nelson raised, Dobson called, Monroe reraised and Nelson shoved for slightly less than a full bet. Dobson called and then picked up another low card so he fired sixth.

Dobson: /
Monroe: /
Nelson: /

Monroe called and then called a final bet on the end. Dobson showed for queens and a seven-low. Monroe had for kings up.

"I'm out," Nelson declared, tabling for an inferior low and a pair of jacks.

Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 7,000 ante

Georgios Sotiropoulos completed and called two bets from Richard Monroe on his left. Sotiropoulos was the one catching the better board as he paired sixes, so he bet the next three streets.

Sotiropoulos: /
Monroe: /

Monroe raised on sixth, though, and Sotiropoulos only had 71,000 back. He slid in two towers of T1,000 chips to call, then called off the rest on the end.

"Straight and a low," Monroe said.

It was immediately clear that was a scooper as Sotiropoulos shook his head and then peeked at his holding again before revealing for queens up. Monroe showed his and scooped the pot. Sotiropoulos wished everyone good luck.

Martin: //
Dobson: //

Both checked on seventh, with Dobson simply opening . Martin mucked and Dobson scooped the sizable pot.

Nelson Times Two Again

Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 7,000 ante

James Nelson: / /
Tom McCormick: / /

James Nelson and Tom McCormick were on fifth street with a few bets from previous streets already lying in front them. Nelson bet and McCormick paused.

"You rolled up deuces?" he asked.

Nelson didn't answer and McCormick called.

McCormick's board double paired on sixth and Nelson moved all in for last 13,000. McCormick called, saying, "That's all I have."

But Nelson was ahead against the open nines and fives, turning up tens and deuces.

McCormick peeled a blank four on the river and Nelson locked up another dub.
