Folkins Jams on Davis

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Matthew Davis raised to 17,000 in early position and Samuel Folkins called in the cutoff before the big blind tossed in a call as well.

On the {k-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{9-Hearts} flop the big blind quickly checked and Davis asked to see the big blind's stack. After being told it was 60,000 he put in a bet of 24,000. Folkins jammed his stack across the line and the action was back on the big blind. He asked how much it was and the dealer broke down the stacks to show it was 141,000.

He thought about it for another 30 seconds before a tablemate asked for the clock. The floor came over and decided it wasn't enough time for the decision and the player retracted his request for the clock. Eventually, the big blind mucked his hand followed by Davis tossing his cards away as well.

Anderson Takes Mapkob Out

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Anton Mapkop moved all in from middle position for around 79,000 and Calvin Anderson called from the button. The blinds folded and the two contenders flipped their cards up.

Anton Mapkop: {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}
Calvin Anderson: {7-Spades}{7-Hearts}

The board ran out {10-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{4-Spades}{5-Spades}{4-Hearts} and with no ace or king hitting for Mapkop, Anderson's pocket sevens combined with the fives on the board were good to take down the pot.

Three players saw the {7-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{3-Clubs} flop, creating a pot of 30,000. The first player to act checked before there was a bet of 13,000. Jason Wheeler was next to act and after thinking for a short period of time, he put in a raise to 40,000.
