Belmonti's Ladies Hold

LoriPersinger

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Spencer Champlin raised it to 4,500 from under-the-gun and when it folded around to Andy Belmonte on the button, he made the call. The small-blind player folded, but Naoki Matsumoto, in the big blind, decided that the price to play would be 13,500, which both Champlin and Belmonti called.

Matsumoto continued for 17,000 on the flop and was called by Champlin. With action on Belmonti, he went into the tank for over a minute before he announced "All in." It was now Matsumoto' s turn to tank for almost a minute before he released his hand, but Champlin made the call and the two players tabled their hands.

Andy Belmonti:
Spencer Champlin:

Belmonti saw that his overpair was good on the flop, but he would have to fade both Champlin's nutflush draw and overcard, which he did on the turn and river, securing almost a full double-up.

On the turn Tran first checked and faced a bet worth 30,000 from Brown, leaving him with 28,500 chips behind. Tran considered Brown's stack and made a raise, putting Brown at risk for his tournament. After a minute Brown mucked his cards.

Kessler Flips Well

Jan_Kores

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Following a 4,000-raise from under the gun, Allen Kessler three-bet to 15,000 in a middle position. A player from two seats over moved all in from the cutoff and Kessler called off for his 50,400.

Kessler showed and he was up against . The flop fell and Kessler was in good shape.

His opponent asked for a ten, and while he would eventually get one, it would be too late as the turn gave Kessler a full house. The river was, therefore, harmless for Kessler who doubled up.

"Usually, when a reporter comes, I lose," Kessler said after the hand. Not this time, however.
