Tolppanen Chips Up With Boat

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

PokerNews joined the action with 15,000 in the pot four-ways.

The flop was {j-Spades}{10-Spades}{10-Diamonds} and Dan Tolppanen bet 9,000 from the hijack when checked to. Only the player in early position called.

The {j-Diamonds} was the turn and action went check-check.

The river was the {9-Hearts} and his opponent bet 15,000 which put Tolppanen all in. Tolppanen spent some time thinking before calling. His opponent showed {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}{q-Spades}{4-Diamonds} but couldn't beat Tolppanen's {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{9-Spades} for a full house.

Shark Attack in Bally's Deep Blue

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Humberto Brenes
Humberto Brenes

Pot Limit Omaha

Jason Mann raised to 1,800 preflop from early position and was called by the player in the hijack, but then Humberto "The Shark" Brenes raised the pot, to which Mann repotted, forcing a fold from the hijack.

"I like my hand, my friend," Brenes said as he slid all of his chips into the middle, putting himself at risk.

Humberto Brenes: {k-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{j-Spades}{10-Diamonds}
Jason Mann: {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}

"Yeah I think I like his hand too," a couple of the other players agreed that Brenes had a monster hand.

The flop was {j-Hearts}{q-Spades}{7-Clubs}, which gave Brenes top two -pair and an open-ended straight draw, which made him a massive favorite.

The turn was the {k-Clubs} which further improved Brenes to top- three pair but it also brought in a flush draw for Mann.

However, the river {9-Hearts} bricked for Mann and gave the two-time bracelet winner the nut straight for the win.

"Eecee for me, my friend," Brenes said as he performed his trademark shark bite and scooped the pot for a double up.

Cruz Chips Up

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

Action was told after the fact.

Tom Markov opened from under the gun to 2,000 and was called by Steve Girouard in middle position and Nick Cruz in the small blind.

The flop came {k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{4-Spades} and action checked to Markov who moved all in for 2,200. Both players called.

The {7-Spades} was the turn and action went check-check.

The river was the {q-Spades} and Cruz bet 13,300 for a pot-sized bet. Girouard went into the tank before folding the king-high flush {k-Spades}{j-Spades}{x-}{x-}.

Cruz would only take down the side pot as he showed {a-}{j-}{x-}{x-} for the straight but it couldn't beat Markov who showed {a-Spades}{8-Spades}{x-}{x-} for the nut flush.

No-Limit Hold'em

Girouard open to 1,600 from middle position and Cruz three-bet to 2,600. Girouard called.

The flop came {j-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{2-Clubs} and Girouard check-called Cruz's 3,000 bet.

The turn was the {10-Clubs} and again Girouard called the bet of 4,500 from Cruz.

The {q-Clubs} was the river and Cruz fired 7,000 when checked to. Girouard called. He saw the bad news as Cruz revealed {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds} for the ace-high flush. Girouard mucked.

Shortly after Markov and Girouard were sent to the rails.
