Oloughlin 3-Bets

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

A player raised it to 3,500 from early position and was called by the button-player. With action on Jason Oloughlin in the small blind, he decided that 9,000 was the price to pay, which was too rich for his two opponents and they mucked their hands.

Meltzer Makes It Look Easy

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

An early-position player raised it to 4,000 and got one caller. Jordan Meltzer, next to act, moved all in, and when action folded to the small-blind player he moved all in for less. The original raiser tanked for a bit before folding, but the other player remaining in the hand called and was also all in.

Jordan Meltzer: {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}
Small-Blind Player: {7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}
All-in Player: {a-Spades}{9-Spades}

The flop of {j-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{a-Diamonds} hit all three players, but Meltzer smashed it the hardest, hitting middle set versus the bottom set and top pair of his two opponents. The {8-Diamonds} turn and {k-Clubs} rivered secured the double-knockout for Meltzer in only his second hand at the table.

Rocha Hits the Turn

Level 13 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Action folded to Alex Rocha in the cutoff and he raised to 5,000. From the next seat over on the button 2014 WSOP Main Event champion Martin Jacobson three-bet to 13,000, and with action back on Rocha he made the call.

After Rocha checked the {4-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{6-Diamonds} flop, Jacobson moved all in and Rocha made the call and was the at-risk player.

Martin Jacobson: {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}
Alex Rocha: {a-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}

The top pair, top kicker of Rocha was behind Jacobson's overpair, but that all changed on the {10-Clubs} turn. The {9-Diamonds} completed the board and Rocha's double-up.

Fal Sends Player Into the Tank

Level 13 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Nicoli Fal raised from under-the-gun to 6,000 and got two callers, including the big-blind player who checked dark. On the {2-Clubs}{7-Spades}{k-Clubs} flop Fal continued for 7,000, one player folded and the big-blind player check-called.

The big-blind player then led out for 12,000 on the {9-Spades} turn and Fal made the call. The player in the big blind then led out again on the {k-Spades} turn for 17,000, but instead of just calling Fal made it 36,500 to go, which sent the big-blind player into the tank before he eventually folded his hand.
