"Crazy Mike" Stirs Up the Action

Level 4 : Limits 600/1,200, 0 ante

"Crazy Mike" Thorpe just took his seat recently and tried to stir up the action by raising blind from under the gun. It soon turned into a five-way capped pot where the flop came Q62. Koray Aldemir led out with a bet from the small blind and picked up calls from Andrew Prock on his left and Shane Douglas in the hijack.

The turn brought the 9 and Aldemir fired out another bet. Prock raised this time and both Douglas and Aldemir called. The river was the K and Aldemir led out with another bet. Prock and Douglas just called this time and Aldemir showed KQ for two pair. Prock turned over 99 for a set of nines while Douglas was left with QJ.

"Sorry guys," Thorpe commented after the hand. "You have a story now. Some crazy guy sat down and raised blind and then it was a five-way capped pot."

Anderson And Sterling Exchange Chips

Level 4 : Limits 600/1,200, 0 ante

Under the gun, Benjamin Anderson opened, and Matt Sterling three-bet from the button. Anderson decided to four-bet, and Sterling called.

On the flop 5J5K, Anderson bet, and bet again on the turn. Sterling called the first time, but not the second.

In the very next hand, Sterling bet in the cutoff, and Anderson, in the big blind, was the only one to call. The board showed 39J. Anderson check-called. However, on the turn 10, he checked and then folded when Sterling bet again.

Song Shows Up with Kings

Level 4 : Limits 600/1,200, 0 ante

Kevin Song raised it up from under the gun and was called by Daniel Vampan in the cutoff. Junjie Zhu three-bet from the big blind and Song responded with a four-bet which both of his opponents called.

The flop came Q96 and Song continued with a bet. Both Vampan and Zhu called and the 4 rolled off on the turn. Song fired out another bet which got Vampan to fold but Zhu still called.

The river was the 5 and Zhu checked to Song one last time. Song threw in another bet and Zhu looked him up. Song flipped over KK and Zhu conceded the pot.

Guerrero Scoops a Multi-Way Pot

Level 4 : Limits 600/1,200, 0 ante

Carlos Guerrero got things started with a raise from under the gun and soon it turned into a four-way capped pot. The flop came 1043 and Guerrero continued with a bet. Nicholas Trimble raised on his left and was called by Andrew Barfield and Bobby Espina in the blinds. Guerrero three-bet and all three players still called.

The turn brought the 7 and Guerrero fired out another bet. He was called by Trimble and Barfield but Espina folded. The river was the A and the action checked around. Guerrero turned over KK and that was good enough to drag in the pot.

Celaya In The Rail

Level 4 : Limits 600/1,200, 0 ante

Down to 2,400 chips, Raul Celaya saw a flop from the big blind as two players limped, but folded when the small blind bet. So he only had 1,900 chips remaining on the next hand when Jason Duong opened from under the gun. Kenneth Takata three-bet from the cutoff. Celaya called in the big blind, as well as Duong.

On the flop 2102, Celaya directly moved all in for his last 400 chips. Duong called, and called again when Takata raised.

The two players who could still act checked the turn K. And on the river Q, Duong bet again. Takata raised, got called, and showed 87 for a flush. It was the best hand, as Duong had QJ for two pairs. Celaya didn't have what it takes toscoop the pot and got eliminated.
