Hori Scoops it All at the End

Terrance Reid
Terrance Reid
Level 17

Stud Eight or Better

Opponent: {x-}{x-}/{9-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{6-Spades}{j-Diamonds}
Kentaro Hori: {x-}{x-}/{k-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{5-Clubs}
David Bach: {x-}{x-}/{8-Spades}{3-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}
Josh Turner: {x-}{x-}/{5-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{2-Hearts}{j-Hearts}

Kentaro Hori raised with a king showing and three players made the call.

On fourth, David Bach hit a three and bet, again all three players made the call.

Four players to a fifth street, the first opponent made a pair of sixed and bet, once more all three players called.

All four players checked sixth steet. However, when seventh was dealt, Hori put out a bet. One by one, all three players folded for the rare four-player, seventh-street, non-showdown, eight-or-better scoop.

Stud

Christina Hill: {k-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{10-Clubs}/{j-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{q-Spades}
Matt Grapenthien: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{x-}/{9-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{4-Spades}

With several bets in the middle and Christina Hill getting short, she bet sixth street and got a call from Matt Grapenthien.

With Hill down to just over 40,000, they each checked seventh street, and Hill showed two pair, queens and jacks, while Grapenthien showed two kings in the hole which never improved to send the pot to Hill and leave him with a roughly 40,000 chip stack.

Limit Hold'em

Lena Wang raised from early position and found three callers, Jonathan Williams in the hijack, Roberto Marin on the button, and John Bunch in the big blind.

The flop showed up {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}, and action checked to Marin on the button. Marin bet, Bunch called, Wang folded, and Williams also called.

Three ways they went to a {5-Diamonds} turn card, where all three players checked.

The river fell the {7-Spades}, and Bunch led from the big blind with a bet. Both Williams and Marin released their cards and Bunch took it down.

Stud

Kevin Gerhart just alerted the PokerNews live reporting team to a lucky river that's saved his tournament life just before the bubble.

Gerhart called down versus Roberto Marin with queens up, not believing Marin had the trip aces he was representing.

Fortunately for Gerhart, he spiked a queen on seventh street to fill up and beat Marin's trips, giving him a big double up and keeping him alive in the tournament.

Where Are They Now: Ron “The Carolina Express” Stanley Battled Stu Ungar at 1997 WSOP

Throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, Ron “The Carolina Express” Stanley, 70, was one of the most feared players in the game. In fact, he even went toe-to-toe with the legendary Stu Ungar at the final table of the 1997 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event. It was there that Stanley donned a tuxedo while playing in the intense Las Vegas heat on Fremont Street.

Stanley, who has been playing poker for a living for “at least 50 years,” was recently spotted at the 2022 WSOP and was kind enough to chat with PokerNews.

“My dad used to play poker and he’d take me to the games when I was a kid,” he said about how he learned poker in the first place. “I was watching and it got pretty interesting. He was pretty good at it and I picked it up from him. It’s in my blood I guess.”

While he hasn’t had any major tournament scores since before the Poker Boom, Stanley is still on the grind.

“I play poker 5-6 days a week at least, mostly cash games,” he said. “In Vegas, I mostly play at South Point, but I’ve been in South Carolina for six months playing a lot of home games.”
