Hawkins Says Costa is Lucky to Chop

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Maurice Hawkins
Maurice Hawkins

James Hughes raised to 4,500 in early position before Chris Costa three-bet to 22,000 on the button. Maurice Hawkins was in the small blind and paused to look around. After asking to see Hughes stack he opted to call and Hughes called as well.

The dealer spread a flop of {k-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{2-Hearts} and Hawkins led out for 26,000. Hughes snap-mucked and Costa moved in for a little over 100,000. Hawkins instantly called and both players showed their hands.

Chris Costa: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Maurice Hawkins: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}

Both players flopped top pair top kicker and the board completed with the {6-Hearts} on the turn and the {9-Spades} on the river.

"You're lucky to chop," Chirped Hawkins, "that's the bottom of my range."

"You're both lucky," chimed in Hughes, suggesting he had the best hand before the flop.

D'Ambrosio Bluffs the Entire Way, Gets There in the End

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Jimmy D'Ambrosio was being pushed a massive pot on the river and relayed the details.

According to D'Ambrosio, he bet 8,000 on the {8-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{a-Hearts} flop and another 25,000 on the {7-Hearts} turn, with an opponent to his immediate right calling both bets.

The river came the {7-Clubs} and D'Ambrosio put out another 66,500, getting a call from his opponent. D'Ambrosio turned over {9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for running trip sevens to take the pot.

"I was bluffing the whole way. That's the only way I'm winning," he said.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Stuewe Hits the River

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

In a three-way raised pot, the flop was {6-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{j-Spades} and Ali Imsirovic checked. The second player involved bet 3,500 and Connor Stuewe made the call while Ismsirovic got out of the way.

The turn fell the {4-Spades} and Stuewe's opponent continued to bet for 10,000, which Stuewe quickly called.

The river showed a {j-Hearts} and Stuewe shoved for 82,000 after a third barrel from his opponent for 25,000. The latter quickly called with slightly more chip with {a-Spades}{9-Spades} for the nut flush, but only to see {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs} in Stuewe's hand for a full house on the river.

Notable Stacks from Around Bally's Orange

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Zack Lays It Down

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

A player on the button limped as did the small blind and Daniel Zack checked his option out of the big blind.

Both the small blind and Zack checked on a flop of {j-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{5-Hearts} and the button player led out for 6,000. That forced the small blind out of the hand but Zack called to see the turn.

Zack checked for a second time after the {a-Spades} turn and again called when his opponent bet 9,000.

The {6-Hearts} river saw Zack check once more. His opponent fired off 25,000 and Zack did not wait long before mucking his cards.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Ryan Depaulo
Ryan Depaulo

Aaron Van Blarcum raised to 6,000 in early position and was then three-bet by poker vlogger Ryan Depaulo to 15,000. After action folded around, Van Blarcum 4-bet shoved for 50,000 more and Depaulo snap-called, putting Van Blarcum at risk.

Aaron Van Blarcum: {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}
Ryan Depaulo: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}

"NIce hand," Van Blarcum told Depaulo.

"I accept your 'nice hand'," Depaulo replied.

The board on the turn was {3-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{5-Clubs}{6-Hearts} with Van Blarcum in the lead, but the river was not kind as the {a-Hearts} hit the felt.

"Yeah!!" Depaulo shouted emphatically as he punched the air.

"You got pretty emotional there, Ryan," someone at the table joked.

"Of course I got emotional, I just won a huge flip in the Main Event, what do you expect?" said the 2021 WSOP parking lot bracelet winner.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Asi Moshe
Asi Moshe

The hijack put his last 25,000 in chips across the line and Asi Moshe made the call next to act before the table folded behind.

Hijack: {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}
Asi Moshe: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

Unfortunately for the hijack his nines ran into a monster and the {k-Hearts}{j-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} run out improved Moshe to a full house to send him to the rail.

Filippi Shows the Bluff to Zhang

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Amnon Filippi bet 5,500 on a flop of {10-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{q-Hearts} and was called by Zilong Zhang in the big blind.

The turn came the {3-Hearts} and Filippi continued for 18,500 after Zhang checked. Zhang cut out a stack of green 25,000 chips and began shuffling them while pondering the decision.

"It's very difficult," he said before flashing a queen and folding. Filippi turned over {5-Spades}{4-Spades} for a bluff as he took the pot.

The next hand, Filippi raised again to 4,500 and got two calls, including Zhang in the small blind. He bet 6,000 on the {5-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{2-Clubs} flop and a player in middle position called before Zhang raised to 28,000. Filippi folded quickly, but the other opponent tanked for a few moments before also giving up his hand.
