Burchfield's Shows Rockets

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Kristopher Burchfield raised to 6,500 from early position and action folded around to the player in big blind who made the call. The big-blind player then check-called a 7,000 continuation bet from Burchfield on the {3-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{q-Hearts} flop.

After both players checked the {q-Clubs} turn and the big-blind player again checked the {7-Hearts} river, Burchfield slid out a bet of 9,000, which was called by the big-blind player, who then mucked when Burchfield tabled {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}.

Rainer Kempe
Rainer Kempe

Kempe: {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}
Opponent: {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}

Kempe's hand prevailed on the {10-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{a-Clubs} board and the German high roller will continue with more than 40 big blinds.

Vandeput Makes the Right Call

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

A player opened to 6,500 and Felix Vandeput three-bet to 19,000 from the button. The small blind player tanked for a minute and opted to call. The initial player folded and the flop appeared {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}. Vandeput 's opponent check-called his continuation bet for 15,000.

The turn brought the {j-Spades} and went check-check. On the river {q-Diamonds}, the small blind led out for 27,000, putting Vandeput into a decision. Vandeput ended up calling and won the pot with {a-Hearts}{a-Spades} while his opponent showed {7-Spades}{7-Hearts}.

Schiff's Set Scoops

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Emile Schiff raised to 6,000 from early position and action folded around to the player in the big blind who defended. After both players checked the {10-Spades}{q-Spades}{j-Clubs} flop, the big-blind player led out for 6,000 on the {8-Diamonds} turn and Schiff made the call.

Perhaps sensing something in the hand didn't make sense, the player in the big blind then checked the {5-Spades} river, prompting Schiff to put out a bet of 8,000. The big-blind player re-checked his cards, shifted in his seat and made the call, but quickly folded when Schiff tabled {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts} for the turned set that had carried through as the best hand on a very draw-heavy board.

Farber Doubles Up the Hard Way

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

A player in middle position raised it to 6,000 and when action got around to Ronald Farber he three-bet shoved. The original raiser asked for a count, the dealer confirmed 63,000 total, and after some thought the original raiser made the call and Farber saw that he was behind with a smaller pair.

Ronald Farber: {7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}
Original Raiser: {9-Hearts}{9-Spades}

The {2-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} flop didn't seem to offer much help after the original raiser flopped middle set, but the {8-Hearts} turn gave Farber the slim hope of hitting the runner-runner gutshot straight. The {6-Diamonds} river was one of the four outs that Farber needed to hit to double up and stay alive on Day 2.
