Wattel Wins Multiway Pot

Level 6 : 500/1,000, 1,500 ante

Jeff Lennon raised to 2,800 from the hijack and was called by George Wolff in the cutoff, Mike Wattel on the button, and Galen Hall in the big blind.

Hall drew one, Lennon drew two, and Wolff and Wattel both took one off.

The action then checked to Wattel, who bet 5,000. Only Hall called and Wattel tabled {9-}{7-}{6-}{4-}{2-}.

Hall tabled {9-}{7-}{6-} one-by-one and mucked his other two cards — conceding the pot to Wattel.

Schulman Shows a Bluff

Level 5 : 400/800, 1,200 ante

Chance Kornuth opened to 2,400 in the hijack and was called by Nick Schulman on the button.

Kornuth drew one and Schulman took two off.

Kornuth then tossed a single 5k-denomination chip into the middle and Schulman went all in, which was enough to put Kornuth all in for his last 17,000.

Kornuth decided to let his hand go and Schulman revealed {8-}{8-}{5-}{5-} as he scooped the pot.
