Minton Mints Some More Chips

Level 13 : 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

Before the break, Chris Minton raised to 5,500 from early position and a player in middle position called. The small blind then raised to 17,000 and both players called.

The flop was {a-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{5-Spades} and after a check from the small blind, Minton bet out 25,000 which got folds from both players and put him just around 200k.

Michael Wins Two All-Ins

Level 12 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Marcie Michael was just the beneficiary of fortunate run-outs on consecutive all-in hands.

On the first hand, as relayed by her tablemates, Michael called the shove of a short-stack with {a-}{8-} and was up against {k-}{j-}. Her opponent flopped two pair on a {a-}{k-}{j-} board before the {8-} on the turn gave Michael a better two pair and the knockout.

The next hand, Michael three-bet shoved for 18,500 over an open from early position. Evan Zlock called from the hijack before the original raiser came back with a four-bet to 48,000. Zlock reraised all-in and the early position raiser folded, leaving him heads-up with Michael.

Marcie Michael: {7-Spades}{7-Clubs}
Evan Zlock: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}

Michael needed help and got it when the {6-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} flop gave her a set. The {9-Diamonds} on the turn opened possibilities of a chop, but the river came an inconsequential {j-Clubs} to give Michael a triple-up.

She is up to 61,500 after those two hands, while Zlock, who was awarded the side pot, has 192,000.

Baltazar Gets Aggressive

Level 12 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

A player in early position raised to 7,500 before Ron Baltazar three-bet to 20,000 from the cutoff. The original raiser called and they saw a flop of {q-Spades}{7-Hearts}{2-Spades}.

The early position player led out for 15,000 before Baltazar raised all in for about 40,000 more. After a quick think, his opponent folded and Baltazar took down the pot to climb to 134,500.
