Benichou Out In Two Hands

Maxime Taldir

Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Dustin Benichou was in the cutoff when he opened to 22,000. The button and the small blind folded, but not John Tavss in the big blind, who completed.

On J♥10♥2♣, both players checked to the turn 8♣. Tavss bet 40,000, and Benichou called. The 3♣ came on the river, and Tavss bet again, to 65,000. Benichou snap-called, showing A♥A♦. But Tavss revealed J♠J♦ for a set of jacks and took the pot.

Down to 116,000 chips, Benichou shoved on the next hand from the hijack. The cutoff moved all-in too with a slightly bigger stack, and they were the only two players to flip their hands.

Dustin Benichou: K♦5♠
Cutoff: K♥K♠

"I'm not confident," said the player in the cutoff, even if he was in the lead preflop, and on 7♦Q♠8♦. On the turn, Benichou asked for a five and a diamond, and the 5♦ came. So there was a bit of suspense on the river. But the 3♠ didn't help Benichou, who was eliminated.

Lotti Takes Multi-Way Pot Half Asleep

Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

The action folded to the button who opened for 26,000 and both the small blind and Romain Lotti in the big blind made the call.

The flop fanned out A♥10♦7♥ and all three players checked their options to the 3♥ turn. The small blind led out for 42,000 and only Lotti came along.

On the 8♥ river the small blind bet again, this time to 66,000. Lotti went deep in the tank, but after close to a minute, tossed in a chip for the call.

The small blind rolled over 9♣8♣ for a missed straight draw and a pair of eights, while Lotti tabled Q♥4♥ for a queen-high flush.

"Are you okay?" asked the small blind to Lotti who took his time to make the call.

"Yeah it's these 10 a.m. starts, I'm just tired," replied Lotti while collecting his chips.

Quads for the Knockout

Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Action folded to Robert Ashelm in middle position who opened to 22,000. The player next to act in late position went all in for 150,000. Everyone else folded and Ashelm quickly called.

Late Position: 7♦7♠
Robert Ashelm: Q♥Q♣

The Q♠5♦K♥ flop already had his opponent headed to the rail, then the Q♦ turn gave Ashelm quads and put the last nail in the coffin. Ashelm scooped and added to his already healthy stack.

Meliet Finds A Double Up

Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

A player opened in middle position to 20,000. Then, from the button, Holly Meliet moved all in for 138,000. Struggling to make a decision as it was almost all his stack, her opponent finally called.

Holly Meliet: A♦K♦
Opponent: A♠Q♦

Meliet's opponent was still hoping for a queen after the flop 4♥8♣9♣. But he showed his disappointment when the K♣ landed on the turn. The river 6♥ didn't change anything, and Meliet doubled up. Her stack is now over 300,000 chips.

Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

In a heads-up pot with roughly 90,000 in the middle on a flop showing K♥K♦8♠, Joseph Hebert checked from the small blind to his opponent in early position who checked as well.

On the J♣ turn Hebert took the lead with a bet of 87,000 and his opponent made the call. The 4♦ hit the river and Hebert checked to the player in early position who slid out a bet of 100,000. Hebert quickly tossed in a chip for the call and the cards were shown.

The early position player rolled over Q♥10♥ for a missed straight draw and queen high, while Hebert tabled 10♠10♦ for a pair of tens to take the sizable pot.

"I would've folded if you jammed," said Hebert to his opponent while he collected the pot.

Weldon Wins Early

Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Action folded to a player in the cutoff who opened to 22,000. The button and small blind folded but Anthony Weldon called out of the big blind.

The Q♥10♣10♠ flop hit the felt and Weldon check-called a 28,000 bet from the cutoff. The 7♠ landed on the turn and action slowed down and checked through. The 3♠ river landed and Weldon opted to lead for 29,000.

The cutoff only thought for a moment before putting in the call. Weldon rolled over A♣Q♣ for top pair, top kicker and the cutoff tapped the table and mucked.

Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Gokul Dharmarajan opened from under the gun position, and Brian Woodbury, in the big blind, called.

On the 5♥3♠9♣ flop, Dharmarajan bet 30,000, and Woodbury called to see the A♣ on the turn. Both players checked.

The river was another five, the 5♣. Woodbury checked once again. Dharmarajan also checked, but when Woodbury showed 9♠7♦ for a pair, Dharmarajan folded his cards.
