Varnell Wishes He Was All In

Level 4 : 300/500, 500 ante

Craig Varnell, Michael Youngman and a player on the big blind went three ways to the flop. With the board showing {j-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{a-Spades}, Varnell checked from the cutoff, Youngman bet 2,200 from the button, and the big blind folded.

Varnell put in the check-raise to 7,200 and got the call from Youngman, bringing the {j-Clubs} on the turn. Varnell continued the aggression with an 11,000 bet. Youngman elected to fold, showing {q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}, much to Varnell's dismay.

"How can you not put me in?" said Varnell with a smile. "Look at all those chips!"

Youngman is sitting on an above-average stack of 131,000, preserving them for now with the fold to Varnell's turn bet.

"The Chess Master" Coolers an Opponent To Send Him Home

Level 4 : 300/500, 500 ante

According to Ivo "The Chess Master" Donev, he just scored an elimination in a pot that totaled around 30,000.

Donev raised {a-}{a-} from under the gun and was called by the player to his left. Action then folded around to the big blind, who also called. The flop came {a-}{q-}{7-}-rainbow and the big blind checked. Donev made a continuation-bet of 2,000 and the player to his left folded. The big blind shoved for around 14,000 and Donev quickly called.

Upon tabling his aces, Donev's opponent turned over {a-}{q-} and was in deep trouble with his top two to Donev's top set. The turn and river came blank and Donev gave his opponent a cold shower en route to exiting the 2019 WSOP Main Event.

Dejuante Alexander checked a {6-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} flop from the hijack, and Chuanshu Chen bet 4,000 on the button. Alexander called.

Alexander check-called a bet of 13,000 on the {4-Clubs} turn, then checked again on the {a-Clubs} river. Chen bet 92,000, enough to put Alexander in for his last 50,600. Alexander tanked for a minute before folding, and Chen flung his {9-Spades}{7-Hearts} up on the felt for a bricked gutshot straight draw.

Matt Stout
Matt Stout

Melvin Acosta had 1,500 in front of him from the cutoff, and was contemplating calling the three-bet shove from Matt Stout in the small blind. Acosta counted out the 10,600 more needed to make the call, then threw it in the pot.

Matt Stout: {k-Spades}{10-Spades}
Melvin Acosta: {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}

Acosta would get no love when the {2-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} flop delivered Stout a pair of kings, and Stout improved to trips on the {k-Hearts} turn, leaving Acosta dead to the {9-Hearts} river.
