Hey Shows River Moves In Four-Way Pot

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Conrad Simpson opened to 8,000 from under the gun and found three callers, a middle position player, Caio Hey on the button, and Jordan Russell in the big blind.

The flop showed up {j-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{a-Spades}. Simpson continued for 8,000 and all three players called the flop bet.

The {6-Clubs} showed up on the turn. Action checked all the way to Hey on the button who bet 28,000. Again, all three players called. They were headed to a river four ways with nearly 200,000 in the pot.

The river fell the {8-Clubs}, completing the backdoor flush draw. Russell and Simpson checked, but the middle position player bet 65,000. Over to Hey, he assembled a large bet, and slid out 220,000 into the pot.

Russell agonized, but folded. Simpson thought for a bit, but also folded. The middle-position player thought for about 90 seconds, and also let his cards go.

Hey proudly flashed the {k-Spades} for the table to see.

"What the? What just happened?" said Simpson.

"Ace of clubs," said a tablemate.

"Yeah, it has to be the ace of clubs, this is wild," said Simpson.

Hey scooped the massive pot with his big move on the river.

Boyd Folds a Set

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Ramon Colullas
Ramon Colullas

Action was caught on the {k-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{a-Spades} completed board with just over 100,000 in the pot. Ramon Colillas bet 75,000 from under the gun and Carlos Boyd went deep into the tank.

After taking several minutes to make his decision, Boyd open-folded his {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} to show the PokerStars Ambassador that he had a set of nines. Colillas did not return the favor but instead raked in the pot.

Vasquez Adds To his Stack

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

In a pot with three players involved and {8-Spades}{j-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} already on the board, it was checked to Andres Vasquez on the button who bet 21,000 and only the small blind made the call.

The river was the {j-Clubs} and both checked. Marquez revealed {10-Hearts}{10-Spades} and it was enough to win the pot.

Bacon Busts to Smiljkovic

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Gina Bacon
Gina Bacon

Gina Bacon was already all-in before the {k-Hearts}{8-Spades}{2-Clubs} flop on which Daniel Smiljkovic bet and forced a fold from the third player in the hand.

Gina Bacon: {a-Hearts}{j-Spades}
Daniel Smiljkovic: {9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}

The {q-Diamonds} turn gave Bacon more outs with the broadway draw but the {8-Hearts} river only improved Smiljkovic to trips eights.

Filatov Fires Turn; Shak Chips Up

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Anatoly Filatov opened to 8,000 from early position before Jaret Villarreal three-bet to 22,000 from the hijack. Filatov called.

The {9-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} flop checked through to the {6-Hearts} turn. Filatov bet 33,000 and Villarreal quickly mucked.

As the hand played, Dan Shak was seen raking in chips after he caught a tablemate bluffing. Shak's {a-}{10-} was good enough for top pair while his opponent had {8-}{5-} for a missed straight draw.

Kenney Loses A Pot And Top Spot

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Bryn Kenney
Bryn Kenney

A player opened to 9,000 from under the gun and was called by a player in middle position as well as Bryn Kenney in the cutoff.

The flop came {6-Spades}{2-Clubs}{5-Clubs} and the under the gun player continued for 13,000, prompting folds from both of his opponents. Kenney tossed {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts} face up into the muck, saying "not the best of flops". Incidentally, Justin Bonomo has just finished in 3rd place in an Aria $10,000 high roller for $88,000, meaning that, for the time being, he has reclaimed the top spot on the all time money list from Kenney.

Aces Versus Kings for Thompson

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

All the chips went in the middle preflop between Richard Martell, at risk with a short stack and {k-Spades}{k-Clubs} in his hands and against Gary Thompson who held nothing less than {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}.

Martell didn't find any miracle throughout the board {j-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{q-Clubs} and Thompson added the pot to his stack.

Barbosa Doubles Up

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Jose Barbosa fired for 10,000 from the button. After a call by the small blind, Hoon Jung put in a reraise to 37,000. Barbosa, after a bit of thought, moved all in for 79,000. The small blind got out of the way, and Jung made the call, putting Barbosa at risk.

Jose Barbosa: {k-Clubs}{k-Spades}
Hoon Jung: {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}

Barbosa was in great position to double up, and the {5-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{8-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} runout ensured that he would do just that, as he scooped the pot, leaving Jung with just a handful of big blinds left.

Elsewhere in the room, Chris "The Armenian Express" Grigorian was eliminated after he ran his pocket jacks into pocket eights and an eight came on the flop.

Lazrus Sniffs It Out

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Picking up the action on the turn, Daniel Lazrus from under the gun was involved in a hand with a player in the small blind. With the board reading {8-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} the small blind checked and Lazrus led out for 10,000. His opponent responded by raising to 28,000. Lazrus considered for a moment before making the call to send the two players to the river.

The {8-Hearts} river double paired the board and the small blind checked. Lazrus checked back and turned over {a-Hearts}{7-Hearts}, good enough to take down the pot. "Nice call," said the small blind somewhat half heartedly as Lazrus continued his steady ascent.

Porter Flushed Away by Maloney

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Heads-up to the {k-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{2-Spades} flop, the action was checked by Cliff Maloney in the big blind and Rep Porter bet 6,000. The check-raise to 30,000 followed and Porter then pushed all-in for around 80,000 to get called by Maloney.

Rep Porter: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}
Cliff Maloney: {8-Spades}{4-Spades}

The {10-Spades} turn instantly left Porter drawing dead and the {a-Hearts} river didn't matter anymore.
