Tehan Loses with Two Pair

Level 4 : 300/500, 500 ante
Joe Tehan
Joe Tehan

Three players, including Joe Tehan, were facing a {k-Spades}{10-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} board on the turn and all three players checked. On the {q-Clubs} river, there was now a one-card straight possibility and both players checked to Tehan, who bet 5,200. Sebastian Percy-Smith called and when the other player folded, they turned their cards on their backs.

Joe Tehan: {q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}
Sebastian Percy-Smith: {k-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}

It was two pair vs a better two pair and Percy-Smith has pulled back to starting stack, whilst Tehan took the blow.

Hjorth and Demerle Both Find Cowboys

Level 4 : 300/500, 500 ante

There was around 5,000 in the pot on a board of {9-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{10-Hearts} and Dick Demerle was all in from the big blind. Action was on William Hjorth in the hijack and he asked for a count which was totaled to be 25,200.

After a few minutes of thought, Hjorth made the call.

William Hjorth: {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}
Dick Demerle: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

The entire table rejoiced as both players turned up the same hand, however, Hjorth was freerolling both a flush and a knockout with the king of hearts. Much to Demerle's satisfaction, the board ran out {5-Spades}{2-Diamonds} and the two chopped the pot after both being dealt pocket kings.

Pacifico's Kicker Nets a Win

Level 4 : 300/500, 500 ante

Four players built a pot of 8,000 up to see an {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} flop together. Action checked to John Dolan, who bet 3,000. Andrew Pacifico called on the button, and the big blind check-raised to 8,000. Action folded back to Pacifico, who called.

Both players checked the {q-Diamonds} turn, and the big blind bet 16,000 on the {4-Spades} river. Pacifico quickly called, and after the big blind tabled {8-Clubs}{7-Hearts}, Pacifico showed his {10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} and said, "Kicker plays," and his ten-kicker indeed played, earning him the pot.

Ahler Hopes to Parlay Charity Win Into WSOP Glory

Level 4 : 300/500, 500 ante
Josh Ahler
Josh Ahler

Josh Ahler's road to the 2019 WSOP Main Event isn't a traditional one. He didn't buy in, nor did he sell action. Instead, the Social Media Manager for 247Sports won a charity tournament that gave him a $10,000 prize to enter the Main Event.

It happened last October in the “Music City Shootout” charity event held in Nashville, Tennessee. That tournament attracted the likes of Chris Moorman and Katie Lindsay, among others.

The event raised money for Mother To Mother, a nonprofit that provides vital health, safety, and wellness items for infants and children in need.

In the end, Ahler took down the top prize and now nearly nine months later he finds himself competing on poker's biggest stage.

In a recent hand, Ahler limped from the hijack and inspired the player in the small blind to do the same. The player in the big then exercised his option with a raise to 2,500, which only Ahler called. When the flop came down {10-Hearts}{j-Spades}{4-Diamonds}, the big blind checked and folded to a bet of 2,000 from Ahler.

It wasn't the biggest pot but it kept Ahler going in the right direction as he's currently sitting on a six-figure stack.

Mazza Stuck in Reverse

Level 4 : 300/500, 500 ante
Mark Mazza

With 4,100 in the pot and a flop of {a-Hearts}{5-Spades}{9-Diamonds}, the player in the small blind checked and so did the big blind. Mark Mazza was in the hijack and bet 2,500, which prompted the player the small blind to call.

The big blind got out of the way and then both players checked the {a-Spades} turn.

After the {8-Diamonds} was run out on the river, the small blind bet 3,500 and Mazza thought long and hard before making the call. The small blind rolled over the {a-Clubs}{q-Spades} and it was good as Mazza sent his hand to the muck.
