Spitale Gets Paid With Aces

Level 9 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Franco Spitale
Franco Spitale

Three-way to the {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} flop with more than 19,000 each invested, Franco Spitale bet 20,000 out of the big blind and Yervand Boyadjian called in late position, Pierre Merlin folded on the button. The {9-Diamonds} on the turn was checked and Spitale bet the {5-Clubs} river for 52,000 and that sent Boyadjian into the think tank.

He talked through possible hands and eventually made the call after stacking his remaining chips in 20s. Spitale rolled over {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds} and that won the pot.

Vang and Yahyaei Felted

Level 9 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Majid Yahyaei, in an earlier event.
Majid Yahyaei, in an earlier event.

Action folded to Majid Yahyaei in the small blind and he made it 4,000. Josh Kay reraised to 11,500 in the big and Yahyaei responded with an all-in shove for about 40,000. Kay quickly called with {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} and Yahyaei was in big trouble with {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}.

The {5-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{j-Clubs} board opened up a few outs for Yahyaei with a straight draw but the {4-Hearts} river was a brick.

At the neighboring table, Kou Vang got his remaining 18,000 or so in from the hijack only to run into the {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs} held by the big blind. Vang had two outs as well with {6-Spades}{6-Diamonds} but none appeared on the {2-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} community. He wished everyone good luck and headed out.

Level 9 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Dizenzo Tries to Lay the Trap

Level 9 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Daniel Dizenzo opened to 3,500 in middle position and the button three-bet to 12,500. The blinds folded and Dizenzo just called to see a flop of {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}.

Dizenzo checked to his opponent who continued for 10,000 and Dizenzo called. The turn brought the {6-Hearts} and both players checked to the {a-Diamonds} on the river. Dizenzo checked once more and his opponent checked it back. Dizenzo turned over {a-Hearts}{k-Spades} for a full house and his opponent mucked.

Also at the table is JC Tran who lost a large pot to Loyal Sprague before the dinner break. "They're just on loan," Tran said with a laugh as Sprague has just under 500,000 chips in front of him.

Lisle Wins a Pot

Level 9 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

The player in the big blind checked to Ricky Guan who sat under the gun on the {k-Spades}{4-Spades}{3-Hearts}{q-Spades} board. Guan bet 4,000 and he was called by Eric Lisle from early position. The player in the big blind called as well.

The river was the {7-Hearts} and it checked to Lisle who bet 14,300. He was called by the player in the big blind but not by Guan. Lisle showed {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds} and that won him the pot.

Jacks? Jacks No Good

Level 9 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Fernando Brito checked a {9-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{4-Spades} flop to a single opponent who bet 4,500. Brito called and the pair checked the {9-Diamonds} turn. The river was the {k-Hearts}.

Brito bet 10,500 and his opponent considered his options before calling. Brito showed {j-Clubs}{9-Spades} for trip nines and his opponent inexplicably flipped {j-Spades}{j-Hearts} face up on the table.

With memories of David Balkin's classic "You lost bro" hand from the 2012 WSOP ringing in everyone's ears, it took a tablemate muttering "He's got a nine," for his opponent to muck his hand and for Brito to take down the pot.

Hou Toasts an Opponent

Level 9 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

The player on the button was all in with action on the river in a side pot between Brian Hou in middle position and the player to his left, who was in the hijack.

There was around 35,000 in the pot and the board read {q-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{5-Spades}{k-Clubs}{8-Spades}. Hou put out a bet and the hijack folded.

Hou tabled {k-Diamonds}{10-Spades} and the all-in player showed {a-Spades}{q-Spades}, resulting in Hou's turned pair of kings trumping the player on the button's flopped pair of queens, ending his day as Hou finds himself north of the 100,000-mark.
