Sewell Plays it Like a Boss

Level 4 : 300/500, 500 ante

With 7,000 in the pot, the big blind bet 2,300 on a {10-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{5-Spades}{4-Clubs} board, and an early position player raised to 7,600. Charlie Sewell in the hijack three-bet shoved for 32,300, and the small blind check-raised all in, four-betting to 55,800. The big blind tanked for a few minutes before folding, claiming to fold a straight after the early position player folded his {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs} face-up.

Charlie Sewell: {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}
Opponent: {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}

The big blind shook his head, in disbelief that neither of his opponents held a straight themselves. The {q-Diamonds} river kept Sewell's top set in front, and he doubled up.

"Nice hand sir, back in the game!" Tablemate Will Kassouf told Sewell.

"Did I play it perfect?" Sewell asked Kassouf, who responded, "Like a boss!"

David Peters

Dennis Barrett has just held his own in a hand with one of the most successful poker players of all time. Barrett raised the button and David Peters three-bet to 8,500 in the big blind. Barrett had another 30,000 behind and he committed all of it. Peters went deep into the tank, until eventually another player called clock on him. Before the time had elapsed, Peters made the call and he had the same hand as Barrett, both holding ace-king in the hole. With no four-flush on the board, the players chopped it up.
