Marcoullier Makes Everything

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

A completed board of {k-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{2-Hearts} was spread across the felt with around 65,000 in the middle already. Raymond Ross and David Marcoullier were heads-up in what turned into be a relatively large pot in the opening level.

Ross checked to Marcoullier who threw in a bet of 48,000. "Wow, I can beat ace-king," Ross pointed out before making the call. Marcoullier turned over {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts} which was actually a rivered flush and Ross was forced to send his cards to the muck.

Tsai Wins Deliberate Hand

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

The flop read {a-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}. Ting-Yi Tsai was on the button and was in a very deliberate hand with Mark Stockton in early position as both players took quite a bit of time before each decision. Stockton led 19,000 on the flop into a pot of about 33,000. Tsai called.

The turn was the {4-Diamonds}. Both players checked after over a minute each.

The river came the {j-Spades}. Stockton checked and Tsai bet 67,000 which was a near pot size bet. Stockton took a while before he decided to fold.
