Pratt Doubles with Boat vs Boat

Level 4 : 300/500, 500 ante

The words "all in" and call were heard from the far side of the room and PokerNews hightailed it over to Table 428 to find out what was happening. All the cards were out but Denise Pratt was kind enough to run through the action up until that point.

Preflop, Pratt had three-bet Senthuran Vijayaratnam from the small blind and he called. She bet-called his raise on the {a-Clubs}{3-Spades}{9-Spades} flop. On the {q-Diamonds} turn, Pratt lead again and Vijayaratnam called. When Pratt checked the {a-Hearts} river, Vijayaratnam set her all in and she called it off.

Denise Pratt: {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}
Senthuran Vijayaratnam: {a-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}

Vijayaratnam had a full house but Pratt had the nuts and is up into six figures now.

Messmer Takes Pot On River

Level 4 : 300/500, 500 ante

With around 32,000 in the pot on a board of {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{3-Spades}{2-Spades}{8-Diamonds}, Aaron Messmer led out from the small blind for 15,000 into his opponent who was under the gun. His opponent thought for about a minute while Messmer stayed stone still, eventually letting his hand go as Messmer took down the pot to bring his stack back to around the 75,000-mark. He had built his stack to that figure earlier in the day and was then seen back near starting stack prior to having won his most recent pot.

Karlsson on Right End of Classic Cooler

Level 4 : 300/500, 500 ante

An Xu got his last 11,800 chips in from late position, and Mats Karlsson three-bet shoved to isolate in early position, chasing the rest of the field out.

An Xu: {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}
Mats Karlsson: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}

Karlsson was on the right side of the cooler after a {5-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{2-Spades}{4-Hearts} board failed to provide a king for Xu.

DiMartino Isn't Shook By the Speech

Level 4 : 300/500, 500 ante

Todd DiMartino raised to 1,500 from early position, then called a three-bet to 4,300 from an opponent in the big blind.

The big blind bet 3,600 on the {2-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} flop, and DiMartino raised to 8,600. The big blind called.

The {5-Hearts} turn was checked by the big blind, and DiMartino bet 10,000. The big blind called again.

On the {10-Hearts} river, the big blind checked, and Dimartino jammed for 31,000.

"It's going to take a little while, gentlemen," the big blind said, then followed up with, "I think you have a huge hand! Great flop for your pocket jacks...nines..."

The big blind then traced his finger across the board, pointing at the {10-Hearts} and said, "Could have that...two of them."

"You gonna show if I fold?" the big blind asked DiMartino, who remained silent. "If not, I might call. What do you think?"

After a few more moments, the big blind folded, tabling {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}.

"Are you f***ing kidding me? What took you so long?" DiMartino told his opponent, showing a single {3-Spades} from his hand before mucking.

The {a-Clubs} turn and {a-Hearts} river completed the board, safe for Pelham to double up through Dempsey.
