Delvecchio Sends One to the Rail

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

Just before the players went on break in the previous level, there was a raise to 3,500 in the cutoff. The small blind three-bet to 12,000 and Michael Delvecchio four-bet to 26,500 in the big blind. The cutoff quickly folded while the small paused for a moment before shoving all in for around 86,000. Delvecchio quickly called and the cards were tabled.

Small blind: {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}
Michael Delvecchio: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

The flop fell {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} to give Delvecchio quad kings and his opponent was already drawing dead. The {9-Diamonds}, {3-Spades} runout was just a formality as Delvecchio collected the chips.

Souther Makes a "Monkey" Call

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

On a completed board of {7-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{10-Spades}{8-Diamonds}, Will "Monkey" Souther was under-the-gun and faced with a bet of 37,000 from his heads up opponent in the hijack.

After a considerable amount of time deliberating, Souther threw in his chips for a call.

"I've got five high," the hijack admitted without flipping over his cards, which on that board is assumed to be {4-}{5-}.

Souther then showed his {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} for one pair to take down the pot.

Martin Jacobson

The action folded around to Martin Jacobson in the small blind who just limped in. The big blind checked his option and the flop came {a-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}. Jacobson led out with a min-bet of 1,500 and his opponent called.

The turn was the {j-Clubs} and both players checked to the {6-Hearts} on the river. Jacobson tossed in another bet of 6,000 and his opponent went into the tank for over a minute before calling. The former WSOP Main Event champion whipped over {k-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} for a pair of sevens which was good to win the pot.

Akkari Put In Tough Spot

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Andre Akkari
Andre Akkari

A player in late position opened to 3,500 and was called by the cutoff. Andre Akkari then three-bet to 14,500 out of the small blind, receiving a call from the late position player while the cutoff folded.

Akkari continued for 9,500 on the {4-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{9-Clubs} flop and was called.

There was no slowing down after the {6-Clubs} turn, with Akkari firing off 18,00. Again, the late position player called.

On the {4-Hearts} river Akkari pushed one more bet into the middle, this time a much heftier 37,000. After some time, the late position player moved all in with the covering stack. Akkari thought long and hard about his decision, counting and re-counting his stack. Ultimately, he decided to let his presumably strong hand go, taking a big hit in the process.
