Vezina Wins Massive Pot With a Queen

Level 6 : 400/800, 800 ante

No-Limit Hold'em

There was already around 50,000 in the middle by the river on a board of {5-Hearts}{3-Spades}{q-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{3-Clubs}. Gabriel Vezina was in the cutoff and moved all in for 31,800, putting the decision on his opponent sitting in early position.

The early position player called and Vezina turned over {k-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} for a flopped pair of queens. That was good enough to win the massive pot as his opponent mucked.

Joao Simao

Pot-Limit Omaha

On a three-way pot with a flop reading {2-Clubs}{9-Spades}{2-Diamonds}, John Esposito checked and Nick Long bet 3,500. Joao Simao raised it to 10,000 in the cutoff and Long called after Esposito let it go.

The turn brought the {5-Diamonds} and Long checked. Simao tossed a pile of chips in the middle, putting Long at risk for a stack worth 23,600. Long quickly called and they tabled their cards:

Nick Long: {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{8-Spades}{8-Clubs}
Joao Simao: {a-Spades}{7-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{2-Spades}

Long already hit a full house while Simao had trips, and Long took down the pot after the {a-Diamonds} fell on the river.

Astedt Shows a Flush to Double

Level 6 : 400/800, 800 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

Online legend Niklas "Lena900" Astedt three-bet before the flop and got one caller. On the turn with the board showing {7-Hearts}{2-Spades}{k-Spades}{4-Diamonds}, Astedt bet 31,500 and his opponent called.

The river came the {j-Spades} and Astedt shoved the rest of his stack, around 40,000, into the middle. His opponent gave it some thought before deciding to call. Astedt showed {k-Clubs}{q-Spades}{8-Clubs}{7-Spades} for the queen-high flush and his opponent mucked.

"Nice re-raise. I have ace-six of spades. If you call, I'm in there," tablemate Todd DiMartino told Astedt after the hand.
