Imsirovic Leaves Lee Very Short

Level 13 : 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Chris Lee
Chris Lee

Chris Lee and Ali Imsirovic invested 30,000 each on the {10-Clubs}{9-Spades}{5-Clubs} flop and Lee then bet the {3-Hearts} turn for the size of the pot, making it 107,000 total. Imsirovic stuck around and the {a-Hearts} on the river was checked. Lee announced jacks and tabled the {q-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{j-Hearts}{8-Hearts} for a pair and busted wrap, which Imsirovic had beat holding the {a-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{4-Spades}{4-Diamonds} for a busted straight and flush draw that made a pair of aces.

Campbell Jams Into Kurtzman

Level 13 : 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Three ways to the {k-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{4-Hearts} turn, it was Eric Kurtzman who bet 70,000 out of the small blind. Paul Volpe gave it some thought and elected to fold. Chad Campbell in the cutoff then announced all-in and Kurtzman asked for a count.

The shove was for 315,000 in total and Kurtzman tapped the table before sending his cards into the muck.

Ryan Hartman
Ryan Hartman

Ryan Hartmann in the cutoff saw a flop of {5-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{j-Clubs} against Ben Yu on the button with around 60,000 in the middle.

Hartmann checked on the flop and called a bet of 22,000 from Yu. Hartmann then led all-in on the {4-Clubs} turn and Yu snap-called.

Yu flipped over {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{5-Spades} for a full house. Hartmann showed that he had an ace-high flush and threw his hand to the dealer face-down before a brick peeled off on the river.

Schwartz Goes Runner-Runner for a Double Up

Level 13 : 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Jake Schwartz opened to 10,000 in middle position and Oswin Ziegelbecker three-bet to 38,000 in the cutoff. The action folded back to Schwartz who made the call. The flop came {8-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{4-Clubs} and Schwartz pushed all in for 78,000 which Ziegelbecker snapped off.

Jake Schwartz: {a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{7-Diamonds}
Oswin Ziegelbecker: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}

"Diamond-diamond," Andjelko Andrejevic cheered from the seat beside Schwartz. The {5-Diamonds} on the turn and the {4-Diamonds} on the river gave Schwartz a back-door flush to double.

"You can say that PLO is not one of Jake Schwartz's best games," Shaun Deeb touted.

Triple Up for Foster; Foundoulakis Busts to Cheong

Level 13 : 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Joseph Cheong
Joseph Cheong

Louis Foundoulakis was the initial raiser and behind him the action escalated as Jeffrey Foster three-bet and Joseph Cheong four-bet. Foundoulakis jammed, Foster called all-in for 58,000 and Cheong called the all-in of Foundoulakis for another 265,000 on top of that.

Jeffrey Foster: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{4-Spades}
Louis Foundoulakis: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{7-Diamonds}
Joseph Cheong: {q-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}

The board ran out {q-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{9-Spades} and the aces of Foundoulakis were no good, as Foster made broadway to triple up and Cheong won the bigger side pot with an inferior straight.
