Kuney Jams Up Stack Successfully

Level 10 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

On a completed board of {q-Hearts}{10-Spades}{6-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{a-Spades}, Brian Rast in the big blind checked his option. He then faced the bet for 151,000 by Michael Kuney, who had exactly one T-500 chip behind beyond the size of the pot. Rast was sent deep into the tank, talked through potential combos, vaulted out of his chair and eventually settled on a fold.

Level 9 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Isaac Kempton recently bought back in and and got involved in a pot with Corey Hochman and two other players.

One player bet 10,000 on the flop of {6-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} and Kempton and Hochman both called, while the fourth player in the hand folded.

The opponent slowed down and checked on the {5-Diamonds} turn and Kempton fired a bet of 30,000. Only Hochman called.

Kempton checked on the {3-Hearts} river and Hochman threw out a bet of 50,000. Kempton instantly shot his cards into the muck, at which point Hochman tabled {a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{x-} for a bluff with missed diamonds.

"Oh my goodness. He had nothing!" exclaimed table mate Chance Kornuth.

Le Doubles Through Drinan

Level 9 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Tommy Le
Tommy Le

Three ways to the {9-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{2-Clubs} flop the action checked through and Tommy Le then bet the {9-Clubs} turn for 5,000, which forced folds all around.

One hand later they were four ways to the {k-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{6-Clubs} flop and Connor Drinan bet 10,000 in the small blind. Only Le called on the button and then led the {3-Clubs} turn for 10,000 when Drinan had checked. A reluctant call by Drinan led to the {k-Spades} river on which he checked.

Le got his last 15,000 in and Drinan paid it off after plenty of consideration to get shown the {a-Clubs}{9-Spades}{8-Clubs}{4-Clubs} for the nut flush by Le, which beat his {k-Spades}{q-Spades}{9-Hearts}{8-Hearts} for trips kings.
