Seymour Calls With Two Pair

Level 3 : 150/300, 25 ante
Richard Seymour
Richard Seymour

Antonio Payne raised to 900 from late position and Richard Seymour called from the button. The player in the small blind called as well and the {A-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{2-Clubs} flop came down.

All three players checked on the flop to see the {3-Spades} turn and the big blind checked to Payne. Payne put in a bet of 1,000 and Seymour raised to 3,000. The player in the big blind folded and the action was back on Payne and he went for a three-bet of 10,200. Seymour took his time and called.

The river was the {J-Hearts} and Payne lead out for 12,000. Seymour called and Payne rolled over {8-Spades}{8-Clubs}. Seymour then tabled {A-Hearts}{9-Clubs} for two pair and he took down the pot.

One table over, Jennifer Harman sat down and she seems to have lost some chips already.

A player in late position limped in and the player on the button raised to 2,200. Nick Pupillo called from the small blind and the late-position player called.

They went three-handed to the {a-Spades}{7-Clubs}{5-Clubs} flop and the action checked around. The turn was the {5-Spades} and again all three players knuckled the felt. The river was the {9-Diamonds} and Pupillo led out with a bet of 10,000.

The late-position player called and the button folded. Pupillo turned over {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs} and his opponent flashed only the {a-Hearts} before throwing his hand into the muck.

Margets All In on the Flop

Level 3 : 150/300, 25 ante
Leo Margets
Leo Margets

The flop showed {3-Spades}{q-Hearts}{4-Spades}, Leo Margets checked from the small blind, and Fadi Barakeh checked as well from the big blind. An opponent in late position bet 2,000 and Margets raised to 6,500.

Fadi Barakeh called, the late-position opponent three-bet to 15,000, and Margets moved all in for 39,875. Fadi Barakeh thought for several moments, making the call for his remaining 24,150, and the late-position opponent folded {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds} face up.

Margets turned over {3-Hearts}{3-Clubs} for a flopped set and Barakeh showed {a-Spades}{j-Spades} for a nut flush draw. The turn made Margets shake her head as it came a spade, but it was the {q-Spades} that hit the table and she quickly smiled after realizing it gave her a dominating full house.

Margets now had Barakeh drawing dead to the {5-Diamonds} on the river and she scooped in a nice pot with her full house, eliminating Barakeh from the tournament.

Kruk Chops it Up

Level 3 : 150/300, 25 ante

When we arrived at the table, Christopher Kruk was already all in. There was about 50,000 in the pot and Kruk was all in for 35,000. The board read {2-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{2-Spades}{Q-Spades}{2-Hearts}. Kruk's opponent was deep in the tank and Owen Crowe called the clock on him.

When the floor arrived, they told the player he had 25 seconds plus a five-second countdown to make his decision. After a couple seconds, he asked who called clock and then made the call.

Kruk turned over {K-Hearts}{K-Clubs} and the player that called had a matching {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds}. They chopped up the pot and proceeded to the next hand.

Chanthabouasy Calls Hurlbut's River Bet

Level 3 : 150/300, 25 ante

The board read {4-Spades}{k-Spades}{k-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{2-Hearts} and Rodney Hurlbut bet 6,000 into a pot around 4,500. Steve Chanthabouasy thought for several moments before making the call and the two then revealed their hands.

Hurlbut turned over {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs} for flopped trip kings and Chanthabouasy turned over {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} for trip kings with a higher kicker. Chanthabouasy let out a sigh of relief as he scooped in the pot.
