Lonis Has Kicker Problems

Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 0 ante

Jesse Lonis raised from middle position and got calls from both blinds, including Tina Tateossian in the small blind.

All three players checked the {7-Spades}{q-Hearts}{2-Clubs} flop before the {a-Clubs} fell on the turn. The big blind bet and both Lonis and Tateossian called.

The river came the {6-Clubs} and was checked through. "Ace," Lonis announced, but Tateossian turned over {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds} for a pair of aces with a higher kicker. Lonis and the big blind mucked, while Tateossian went back to eating her salad after gathering in her new chips.

Messoroch Sends One Out

Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 0 ante

George Messoroch was in the hijack and had his opponent in the cutoff at risk before the flop for 4,200.

Cutoff: {k-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}
George Messoroch: {q-Spades}{10-Spades}

Messoroch was dominated but the {q-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{9-Diamonds} flop gave Messoroch the lead. The {a-Spades} on the turn gave the cutoff a gutshot straight draw to go along with the overcard, and also gave Messoroch a flush draw. However, the {4-Hearts} on the river was a brick and MEssoroch eliminated his opponent from the tournament.

Bardah Hits a Fortunate River

Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 0 ante

Ronnie Bardah and an opponent went heads-up to a flop of {a-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}. Bardah checked to his opponent, then called a bet.

Bardah also called a bet on the {q-Spades} turn before leading out when the river brought the {j-Clubs}. His opponent called.

Bardah showed {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds} for a rivered straight as his opponent let out an exasperated sigh.

"I can't beat that. I can't beat a straight. I had an ace," his opponent said.

"You win some, you lose some," Bardah replied as he raked in the pot.

Tayi Playing the Bully

Level 13 : 2,000/4,000, 0 ante

Venkata Tayi is wielding a massive stack and has shown he's not afraid to put it to good use.

In his last hand, Tayi was in the big blind and called a pre-flop raise from a player in middle position, as did the small blind. The flop came {6-Spades}{a-Hearts}{q-Spades} and action checked to the original raiser.

He put out a bet and the small blind folded. Tayi, thought, came back with a raise and his opponent quickly slid his cards back to the dealer as Tayi extended his tournament chip lead.
