Bellande Still Calls and Busts

Level 20 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Jean-Robert Bellande
Jean-Robert Bellande

Jean-Robert Bellande raised to 45,000 from the middle position and action folded to Dario Marinelli in the big blind who three-bet to 82,000. Bellande four-bet to 240,000 and Marinelli called.

The flop came {q-}{2-}{3-} with one diamond and two hearts, Marinelli bet 85,000 and Bellande made the call.

The turn was the {9-Clubs}, Marinelli continued with a bet of 125,000 and Bellande called again.

The river completed the board with the {4-Spades}, Marinelli shoved and Bellande contemplated his options.

Bellande got up from his chair, started packing his stuff up: "Well, I guess this is it. I guess you have a set of queens, but I have to call cause I have aces..." And then made the call for his last 500,000 or so with {a-}{a-} to see he was right as Marinelli held {q-}{q-} indeed for the set to eliminate him.

Graham Leads River on Katz

Level 20 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Cary Katz raised to 41,000 from under the gun and action folded back to Luke Graham who defended his big blind.

The flop fell {4-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{7-Spades} and Graham checked. Katz made a continuation-bet of 39,000 and Graham called. The turn came {6-Clubs} and Graham checked once more to Katz, who continued again for 50,000. Graham flinched slightly as he picked up chips and then proceeded to call.

The river came {5-Spades} and Graham led out for 100,000.

"Gahhh!" said Katz. "Terrible card!" he continued as he leaned back in his chair for a moment. He then leaned forward and used his hand to push the cards to the center of the table, one at a time to fold and give up the pot.

Lewis Gets Paid with Aces

Level 20 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Picking up the action on the turn with the board reading {8-Hearts}{6-Spades}{6-Hearts}{j-Hearts}, the action was checked to Romain Lewis in early position. Lewis bet 64,000 into a pot of around 120,000 and his opponent called.

The river was the {2-Diamonds} and the big blind checked again. Lewis dropped in another bet of 250,000 and his opponent paid him off. Lewis tabled {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs} and his opponent was unable to beat it.

"I could beat ace-jack," he pointed out as his cards hit the muck.

McCorkell's Rockets Blast One Home

Level 20 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Craig McCorkell opened and was reraised all in by the small blind for his final four big blinds. He made the call and the two turned up their hands.

Craig McCorkell: {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}
Opponent: {5-Spades}{4-Spades}

The board ran out {9-Spades}{j-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{2-Hearts} and the all-in player was drawing dead by the turn, ending his night about an hour sooner than those who will live to see another day.

"World-Class Fold" by Matusow

Level 20 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

There was a raise to 42,000 in middle position and Andy Hwang and Mike Matusow both called from the blinds. The flop came {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}{q-Spades} and the action checked to the preflop raiser who continued for 75,000. Hwang called and Matusow came along to the {9-Diamonds} on the turn.

Both Hwang and Matusow checked again. They were faced with another bet of 180,000 this time. Hwang quickly called and Matusow gave it some thought before finally tossing his cards away.

Matusow turned his back to the table, "I don't wanna see," he mumbled. The {q-Hearts} paired the board and both players checked. Hwang turned over {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} for a full house which was fortunate to beat his opponent's {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts}.

"I made a world-class fold," Matusow piped up. "Jack-nine of spades."
