Brady Calls Oya's Hand

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

With around 10,000 already in the pot, action was joined on the river with {q-Hearts}{5-Spades}{6-Spades}{8-Spades}{3-Clubs} on the felt. Masashi Oya fired for 7,500 from middle position, sending Mike Brady into the tank.

While considering his decision, Brady posited "Pocket sixes?" to Oya, but received no answer. After a few minutes, Brady announced call.

Oya turned over {6-Hearts}{6-Clubs}, the exact hand Brady had put him on. Brady had evidently made the call in spite of rather than because of that read, as he could not beat Oya's set, and he mucked his hand.

Hong Left Short

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

A player in the cutoff had a bet of 3,000 in front of him and was facing a raise to 9,000 by Jinho Hong on the button. After some consideration the cutoff player called to send the two heads-up to the flop.

The cutoff checked after the {q-Spades}{9-Spades}{5-Diamonds} flop and then called when Hong continued for 6,000.

Action checked through the {k-Spades} turn to the {10-Spades} river. The cutoff, unconcerned that there was a four liner to a straight flush on the board, tossed out 12,600. Hong thought long and hard but eventually made the call. The cutoff somewhat sheepishly turned over {8-Hearts}{8-Spades} for the flush. Hong could not beat it, sending his chip count down below half starting stack.

Hovenden Evokes His "One Time" to Stay Alive

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

An early position player limped before Udi Perez made it 1,500 from middle position. Four players called, including Patrick Hagenlocher in late position and Todd Hovenden in the blind.

The flop came {k-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{j-Clubs}. Action checked all the way to Hagenlocher, he bet 5,000 into the multi-way pot. His bet didn't get far before meeting resistance. Hovenden went all in for 26,300. Action folded back to Hagenlocher who made the call.

Patrick Hagenlocher: {k-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
Todd Hovenden: {q-Clubs}{4-Clubs}

"Alright, I'll take my one time now," said Hovenden.

Immediately, the {9-Clubs} hit the turn to answer Hovenden's request and give him the flush. The {4-Hearts} river made it official and he climbed back to starting stack.

Dopico Flops Nut Flush, Frustrates Brobyn

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

The very end of a hand was captured as Robert Brobyn had called a bet of what looked like about 25,000 on the river on a board with three clubs on the flop.

William Dopico had the {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs} for the flopped nut flush. While Brobyn talked out loud about how he was frustrated because it was the second time he had lost with queens (all undercards on the board) against Dopico as a large portion of his stack was cutaway.
