Cheong Wins Without a Showdown

Level 8 : 250/500, 75 ante

A player opened to 1,050, called by the small blind player and Joseph Cheong in the big blind player The flop came {10-Clubs}{3-Spades}{2-Clubs} and after a check, Cheong bet 950 and the two other players made the call.

The turn was the {5-Clubs} and all the players checked to see the {k-Diamonds} on the river. The small blind player, as well as Cheong, checked and the initial raiser fired 2,300. The action folded back to Cheong who quickly called and saw an instant muck from his opponent. Cheong grabbed the pot without showing his cards.

Reichenstein Doubles Through Karmatckii

Level 8 : 250/500, 75 ante

Uri Reichenstein had doubled up for 49,000 against Arsenii Karmatckii and was kind enough to tell what had happened:

"Karmatckii raised from under-the-gun and I three-bet. He four-bet and I shoved. He called with queens. I had tens and the ten came on the flop!"

Wien Doesn't Win

Level 8 : 250/500, 75 ante

Jeremy Wien raised to 1,025 from late position and was only called by the player in the big blind.

They both checked through the {q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} flop and the {10-Spades} on the turn to the {3-Diamonds} on the river. The player in the big blind bet 1,500 and Wien called. Wien's opponent tabled {q-Hearts}{7-Spades} for two pair, queens and tens, and that was enough to take the pot down.

Wilkerson Let It Go

Level 8 : 250/500, 75 ante

On a raised pot, the board was reading {q-Hearts}{5-Spades}{7-Hearts}{3-Hearts} and three players were involved in the hand. The player in the small blind checked and the big blind player bet 2,225. Only Wilkerson in the cutoff position made the call.

The turn was a {j-Spades} and the initial raiser continued for 5,175. Wilkerson quickly folded his hand. The owner of two WSOP Circuit rings still has a comfortable stack worth 50,000.
