Jacks Are Good for Bayly

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Chris Bayly raised to 2,800 under the gun and the player in the hijack three-bet to 9,500. Action folded back to Bayly who added the remainder to call.

The dealer spread a flop of {9-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} and Bayly checked. The hijack bet 5,500 and Bayly check-called. The turn brought the {8-Hearts} and was checked through to the {7-Hearts} river. Both players checked again. Bayly tabled {j-Spades}{j-Hearts} and his opponent mucked.

Hoellein Folds All but One

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Jon Hoellein was looking for some media attention today as he's parked in the back corner of the Pavilion Room in the yellow section. After arriving at his table, Hoellein folded both his button and cutoff hands.

In the next hand, Hoellein raised to 2,200 in the hijack and was called by both of the blinds. The flop came {a-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{4-Clubs} and the action checked to Hoellein who continued for 4,000. The small blind folded but the big blind called. The turn was the {5-Clubs} and both players checked to the {k-Spades} on the river. Two more checks and the big blind turned over {a-Spades}{4-Spades} for the best hand.

Hoellein went on to fold his next three hands as well and has seen his chip count slide to just over 110,000 after starting the day with over 140,000 chips.

888 Poker Qualifier Hu Takes From Brull

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

The complete {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} board was already out there and there was a couple thousand in the middle. Christoph Brull checked to the Dutchman David Hu and he checked behind.

Brull opened up {8-Spades}{8-Hearts} and the 888 Poker qualifier Hu showed {9-Hearts}{7-Hearts} for a better pair he managed to hit on the river.

Hu is still down from where he started today while Brull is climbing.

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Scott Blumstein opened for 2,700 in middle position and got action from Mustapha Kanit on the button and Antonio Esfandiari in the big blind. Action checked to the Italian on {7-Clubs}{7-Spades}{3-Spades} and he bet 3,400. Only Blumstein continued. The {j-Spades} turn checked through and the {q-Spades} made a four-flush on board. Blumstein fired big with 30,200 and Kanit needed only seconds before mucking.

Neilson Cautious With Trips

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Daniel Neilson bet about 6,500 from the button on {q-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} and an opponent in middle position called. On the {j-Diamonds} river, the first player checked. Neilson thought around 30 seconds before patting it back. His opponent showed {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} but Neilson's {k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} was good for the pot.
