Gaspard Short after Fold

Level 5 : 150/300, 50 ante

The flop read {2-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} and there almost 2,000 in the middle. Jean Gaspard checked in the small blind, so did the player in the big blind, Darren Elias from under the gun and the player in the hijack. The player in the cutoff bet 650 and the button folded. Gaspard called and the rest folded.

The turn brought them the {6-Hearts} and Gaspard bet 3,000 which his opponent called.

The river completed the board with the {7-Hearts}, Gaspard barreled another 4,000 into the pot and his opponent shoved with the bigger stack. Gaspard tanked and then folded, leaving himself behind with 5,000.

Bicknell Loses Two Small Ones

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

The board read {7-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{6-Spades}{5-Spades} with about 1,500 in the middle and both Kristen Bicknell (big blind) and Dario Sammartino (hijack) checked. The river completed the board with the {k-Spades} and Bicknell checked again. Sammartino now bet 1,350 and Bicknell folded.

The hand after, the flop read {k-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} and there was around 3,300 in the pot already. Bicknell now checked her small blind and Robert Covert shoved for about 18,000. Bicknell tanked.

"Ugh, I'm going to fold like such a girl!" Bicknell commented. She hesitated for a bit but still folded.

"Your aces are no good" Covert said and then showed the {q-Spades}.

"What else? I can beat queens!" Bicknell replied.

Covert just shrugged: "I can beat aces.".

The rest of the table which included Shyam Srinivasan, Fahredin Mustafov, and Pavel Plesuv discussed what Covert could have had.

"Are you going to throw a bluff in my face?" Wilson asked Kornuth.

Kornuth just collected his chips and didn't show anything.
