Kociper Shows the Bluff

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

Angelo Kociper raised in early position and a player in middle position three-bet. The button made the call before Kociper flatted the raise.

On the {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{7-Hearts} flop, Kociper checked to the three-bettor who put in a continuation bet of 16,000. The third player got out of the way and Kociper made the call.

The turn was the {7-Clubs} and Kociper took the lead by throwing in a healthy bet of 22,000 and his opponent called.

On the {k-Hearts} river, Kociper was in no mood to slow down and fired in a bet of 37,000. The opponent went deep into the tank and eventually folded {a-}{q-} face up and Kociper let him know he bluffed him with the {10-Spades}{8-Spades}.

Matsuda Turns The Nuts

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

A player from middle position had moved all-in for his remaining 17,000 and got called by Tomoki Matsuda.

Opponenet At Risk: {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}
Tomoki Matsuda: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}

Matsuda smashed the flop when it came {q-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{q-Hearts} and locked up the knockout when he filled up on the turn with the {a-Hearts} and the {4-Hearts} on the river.

Gracias Doubles Through Platt

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

Aaron Skobel raised under the gun and Jeff Platt three-bet to 9,000. Glyn Gracias tanked for about a minute and decided to rip her entire stack of 21,600 in the middle. Skobel mucked and Platt made the call.

Glyn Gracias: {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds}
Jeff Platt: {a-Hearts}{2-Hearts}

Gracias had him dominated as the flop came {j-Hearts}{10-Spades}{8-Clubs}, leaving Platt needing runner-runner. The turn gave him some outs as the {2-Clubs} hit but the {3-Diamonds} on the river was a brick sealing Gracias' double up.

Jao Cracks Aces

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

A player in early position raised to 2,500 and he was called by a player in middle position as well as Johnny Jao in the small blind and the player in the big blind.

They went four-ways to the flop when it came {5-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}. Jao checked. The player in the big blind took the betting lead and threw out 3,000 to which all the players called.

The turn card was the {9-Hearts}. The action checked to the original raiser who bet 16,000. The player to his left moved all in for about 45,000. Jao re-shoved having the previous player covered. The small blind and the original raiser both folded.

Jao said, "You have jack-ten?" to which his opponent responded "No" and they tabled their hands.

Opponent: {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}
Johnny Jao: {10-Spades}{6-Spades}

Jao turned the straight and his opponent was drawing dead. The {9-Clubs} completed to board and Jao got the knockout.

Workman Wins with the Nut Flush

Level 7 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

The action was picked up on the turn with the board showing {j-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} and the pot of 32,000 already.

Randall Workman was all-in for 22,200 and a player in the big blind was in the tank and at risk if he called.

The big blind eventually made the call and showed {k-Hearts}{q-Spades} for the straight but Workman showed {a-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}.

The river was {5-Clubs} which didn't matter because Workman's opponent was drawing dead on the turn.

The turn was the {q-Clubs} and once again Lenhart checked. Singh continued barreling with a bet of 6,500 and Lenhart wasted little time throwing his hand into the muck.
