Heroux River Bet Gets Through

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Maxime Heroux

Canada's Maxime Heroux just took down a considerable pot after betting big on the river against three opponents.

The board read {10-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{4-Clubs} with around 38,000 in the pot when Heroux bet 25,000 after the action was checked to him. The next player to act got the bet verified before going into the tank. After a minute's thought he folded, Heroux's other two opponents instantly mucked, and the Canadian, who finished fourth in this year's Event 19: $565 Pot-Limit Omaha for $60,190, took down the pot.

On a raised pot and a board showing {9-Clubs}{k-Spades}{k-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}, three players were involved in the hand.

After the two first players checked, Kathy Liebert bet 11,000 from the button. The player in the small blind called, then the third one shoved all in for 13,900. Liebert called and after some thought, the small blind player choose to let it go.

Holding {a-Clubs}{8-Clubs}, Liebert had the losing hand versus {k-Diamonds}{9-Spades} for her opponent, and she quickly mucked.

Liebert still is among the big stacks with around 137,000.

Polychronopoulos Chips Down

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

A player in middle position opened to 2,600 and only Athanasios Polychronopoulos in the big blind made the call.

Both players opted to check all the way through the {k-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{9-Spades} board, after which Polychronopoulos announced he had a pair of threes. It wasn't enough to win the pot as his opponent tabled {7-Clubs}{7-Spades} and Polychronopoulos mucked his hand. He is now down to a stack worth 24,000.

Ryan Riess stood up from his seat with {a-}{10-} in front of him and wishing his opponent good luck as the dealer moved his stack over to the player in seat 9, Gregory Fishberg.

2013 Main Event champion Riess only had 19 big blinds when he started the day's play. He was unable to spin it up after Fishberg's pocket sevens held after the board came down {6-}{4-}{j-}{8-}{k-}, and Riess departs before the money payouts.

Massey tabled {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts} for a pair of kings and his opponent sent his hand into the muck.

Good Start for Gimbel

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Harrison Gimbel just eliminated a player and is now up to 44,000. Everything went in the middle preflop, with Gimbel in very good shape holding {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds} versus his opponent's {a-}{k-} and the latter's stack of 12,000 in the middle.

The board didn't change anything, and Gimbel added more chips to begin the day.
