The River Changes Everything

Claudio Elizalde
Claudio Elizalde
Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Taiki Nakano raised in early position and was reraised by a player in late position. By the end of it, both had their stacks in the middle preflop.

Taiki Nakano: K♥K♦
Late Position: A♠Q♠

The flop was in favor of Nakano when it fell 4♥6♥9♥, leaving the late position player looking for only two aces. His wish came true as the A♣ peeled on the turn. However, fortunes turned when the K♣ came on the river, awarding Nakano the pot and a full double.

His opponent was left with crumbs and he promptly shoved on the next hand with A♣9♠ and was called by the A♥8♦. Again, this player was given a breath of hope when a nine hit he flop. His hopes were dashed when his opponent made a straight on the river.

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

The following action was relayed to Pokernews by the players.
Scott Weitzenfeld raised in middle position to 500 and an aggressive player in the small blind reraised to 2,200 and Howard Feingold aka "Howie the Kid" reraised to 5,400. Everyone called.

The flop was 8x3x5x and Weitzenfeld moved his chips in and the small blind player sloppily shoved his chips into the pot and Feingold folded and stated that he had QxQx.

Scott Weitzenfeld: KxKx
Small blind player: KxJx

The turn and river were both blank cards and Weitzenfeld took down a big pot. The aggressive player stormed off and left 2,000 worth of chips on the table.

The river brought the 5♣ and the big blind checked and Valli bet 4,500 and was called.

Valli turned over K♠5♠ for two pair and the big blind mucked.

Valli ran deep in the Mystery Millions event and won a nice bounty prize of $25,000.

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

On a flop of 8♥7♣4♥, action folded to a player in late middle position, who opened the betting. he was called in two spots: Henry Pagliuca in the hijack and also the big blind.

The turn was the 3♣. Mid position bet again, Pagliuca called and the button got out of the way.

Pagliuca raised a further bet on a 5♣ river, putting the middle position player all in.

Middle position: 9♥7♦
Henry Pagliuca: J♣5♣

Pagliuca had back-doored his flush, and extracted maximum value.

McLaughlin Gets The Last Laugh

Claudio Elizalde

Level 3 : 200/300, 300 ante

Table #192 called PokerNews over to explain a story of tilt.

On a board reading 6♥4♥3♠, Adam McLaughlin bet 2,000 and was quickly raised to 5,600 by the player in position. McLaughlin responded to that by going all in for about 23,000 and his opponent made the call.

Adam McLaughlin: Q♥5♥
Late Position: 3♦4♣

The late position player had flopped two-pair and McLaughlin had a straight draw to go along with his flush draw. He didn't have to wait long to catch up when the 2♣ rolled off on the turn for the straight and when the 9♥ rolled off on the river for the flush.

The late position player was left with only 1,600 to which he said, "Fuck it, I'm out of here." He proceeded to leave the tournament area and left his stack to be blinded out. It's unclear what his plans are for the rest of the day.
