Rabichow Flushes Out Ivey

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 0 ante
Phil Ivey
Phil Ivey

Phil Ivey opened to 10,000 on the button and Kevin Rabichow made it 36,000 in the big blind. Ivey called and the dealer fanned the flop of {q-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{3-Clubs}. Both players checked and the {8-Clubs} landed on the turn.

Rabichow led out with a bet of 27,000 and Ivey stuck around to see the {9-Spades} on the river. Rabichow checked this time and Ivey splashed in a bet of 75,000. Rabichow check-raised all in, putting Ivey to the test for his remaining 300,000 chips.

Ivey leaned back in his chair and tried to study his opponent for nearly seven minutes. Eventually a muttered "call" came out of Ivey's mouth and Rabichow turned over {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs} for a flush. Ivey took his cards and mixed them in with the muck as he headed for the exit.

Rabichow Chips Up With Superior Kicker

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 0 ante

With roughly 70,000 in the pot on {q-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{3-Spades} flop, Phil Ivey led for 25,000, and Kevin Rabichow called.

The {j-Hearts} fell on the turn, Ivey checked, and Rabichow bet 81,000 as he faced the Ivey stare. Ivey called, and both players checked the {2-Diamonds} river.

Ivey revealed {q-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}, but it was no good against Rabichow's {q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}.

Winter and Gonzales Clicking Buttons

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 0 ante

Matthew Gonzales raised it up on the button and Sean Winter responded with a three-bet from the big blind. Gonzales called and the flop of {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{2-Clubs} stirred up more action.

Winter started with a bet of 11,000 and Gonzales min-clicked him to 22,000. Winter came over the top with a three-bet to 70,000 and Gonzales just called.

The turn was the {4-Clubs} and Winter led out with a bet of 105,000. Gonzales quickly mucked his cards and Winter scooped the pot.

Stanford Rivers Straight vs. Sammartino's Pocket Queens

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 0 ante

William Stanford and Dario Sammartino have been involved in a lot of juicy pots early on, trading the lead on multiple occasions.

With over 100,000 already in the pot on a {6-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{4-Spades} board, Stanford threw out a bet of 95,000 which was quickly called.

Sammartino flipped over {q-Spades}{q-Hearts} and Stanford responded "no good" as he turned over {8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for the runner-runner straight.

Winter and Gonzalez Nearly Even

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 0 ante

Sean Winter opened to 7,500 on the button and Matthew Gonzales defended.

Gonzalez check-called for 7,500 on the {j-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} flop, check-called for 22,500 on the {q-Clubs} turn, and check-called for 25,000 on the {j-Hearts} river.

Gonzalez showed {q-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} for turned two pair, but was counterfeited on the river as Winter took the pot with {q-Hearts}{8-Hearts} to keep the match fairly even.
