Wilkinson Drills the River to Quarter Hill

David Salituro

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 0 ante

Robert Hill bet from the button on a board of K♦3♥2♣6♣ and Alexander Wilkinson called in the hijack.

The river came the 6♥ and Hill put out another bet. Wilkinson, this time, came back with a raise and Hill quickly called.

Hill turned over A♣5♦K♠2♦ for two pair and a low, while Wilkinson showed 6♦A♥2♥5♠ for trips on the river and the same low to earn three quarters.

"Nice hand. Unlucky, obviously," Wilkinson said to Hill as he took in most of the pot.

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 0 ante

Alfred Atamian raised from under the gun and was called by Ryan Haas in middle position. Vitaliy Mikhov, in the big blind, called all in.

The flop came J♠5♠8♣ and Mikhov pretended to check over to Atamian. "If you bet, I fold," Atamian joked as he checked.

Haas put out a bet and Atamian called to the 5♥ turn, where Haas bet again and this time Atamian folded.

The river came the J♦ and Mikhov had A♠2♦9♦9♣. Haas, though, turned over A♦5♦J♥J♣ for quad jacks as Mikhov lowered his head before getting up from his seat.

The river came the 3♦ and all three players checked. Pantaleo turned over 5♦4♥3♥2♥ for a straight and a low, and his two opponents both mucked their cards.

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 0 ante

Joshua Rothberg raised from the button and received a call only from Lok Chan in the big blind before seeing a flop of 2♣3♥2♦.

Chan check-called a bet from Rothberg and both players were off to a 7♦ turn card. Chan again elected to check-call a bet from Rothberg before seeing the Q♦ hit the river.

Both players checked through and Rothberg turned up the AxAxJx5x, good enough for the high and the low, as Chan tossed his cards toward the muck.

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 0 ante

Action folded to Christopher Kennedy who raised before Bradley Butcher to his direct left came in for a three-bet. Action folded around to Kennedy who stuck in a call and the players were off to a 5♦A♦3♥ flop.

Kennedy check-called a bet from Butcher before watching as the 2♥ peeled off on the turn, prompting both players to check through to a river of the 10♦.

Action checked through again and Butcher turned up the A♠8♣5♣2♦, good enough to send only a quarter of the pot to Kennedy holding the A♣Q♣5♠2♣.

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 0 ante

On the first hand of Day 2, DJ Buckley and Ken Aldridge were all in on a 3♣3♥J♠ flop and up against big stack Nitesh Rawtani.

DJ Buckley: 6♥J♦6♦Q♥
Ken Aldridge: J♥10♠J♣8♥
Nitesh Rawtani: A♠8♠Q♠Q♦

"I have a flush draw," Rawtani said as the 7♠ fell on the turn. The river came the 5♠, completing his flush, but it was no good against the flopped full house of Aldridge.

"A flush wouldn't have helped you," Aldridge pointed out as he took in the pot, while Buckley was eliminated.
