Nova Scotia Niner Finds a Double Up

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

The action was picked up on the river in a pot of roughly 25,000. The board was {9-Spades}{7-Spades}{2-Spades}{8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} and the small blind led out for 20,000. Halifax, Nova Scotia native Eric Place was in the big blind and moved all in for 34,000 total.

The small blind looked sick but after some thought tossed in a chip for the call. Place showed {8-Hearts}{7-Hearts} for a full-house and his opponent shook his head and showed {a-Spades}{10-Spades} for flopped nut-flush.

Place is part of a poker group called the Nova Scotia Nine which include Colin McHugh, Alex "Cheese9" Allison" and none other than WSOP bracelet winner Alex Livingston.

Farber Makes the Nuts, Takes One Out, Medeiros Makes Huge Fold

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Sidney Farber
Sidney Farber

A large pot was brewing and two players were already all in in a pot worth about 90,000.

The complete board showed {q-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{5-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{3-Spades}. The player in middle position had moved all in for his 31,300. Sidney Farber had snap-jammed all in for 38,000 himself.

David Medeiros sat in the big blind with a big decision. Two players had moved all in and he was at risk with about 27,000 in his stack. After thinking for about three minutes, he called the clock on himself.

Before the floor could get too far into the countdown, Medeiros folded, showing the {j-Spades}{10-Spades} for the flush.

The middle position player tabled {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}, but Farber had {a-Spades}{6-Spades} for the best flush.

Farber stacked up huge, Medeiros made the tough fold to live and fight for another pot.

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Allen Kessler
Allen Kessler

The details of this hand were provided after the fact by the remaining players at the table.

Allen Kessler opened for 1,500 under the gun. Barstool Owen Roeder to his left raised to 3,200, getting a call from the player to his left and from Kessler.

The flop came {10-Spades}{4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}. Kessler checked to Roeder, who fired for 2,500. Both opponents called.

On the {8-Hearts} turn, Kessler checked. Roeder bets 12,000. The next player raised to 30,000. Kessler moved all in. Roeder jammed behind, and the third player called.

Allen Kessler: {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}
Owen Roeder: {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}
Opponent 2: {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}

Kessler had turned a full boat, but his opponent made top boat, leaving the Chainsaw drawing dead to quads. The {9-Spades} river was a brick, and Kessler was sent to the rail.

Dyke Catches a Bluff; Shows Anyway

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Three players saw a flop of {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}, creating a pot of about 4,300. Athanasios Polychronopoulos checked first to act, followed by Maria Lampropoulou and Daniel Dyke did the same.

The {2-Hearts} hit the turn and once checked to, Lampropoulou put in a bet of 3,000. Dyke called and Polychronopoulos mucked.

The {7-Hearts} completed the board, and Lampropoulou continued to fire, betting 7,000. Dyke wasted little time making the call and Lampropoulou conceded the pot by pushing her cards face down towards the dealer. Dyke politely showed his {q-Hearts}{9-Hearts} for a flush on the river as the dealer pushed him the pot.
