Esposito Scoops Campbell

Cottrell van Wingerden

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Robert Campbell opened to 2,500 from under the gun and was called by John Esposito on the button.

Campbell check-called a bet of 5,000 from Esposito on a flop of J♣10♥A♦ to send the action to the J♠ turn where both players decided to check.

The 10♠ river completed the board, prompting Campbell to check once more. Esposito, unwilling to go to a cheap showdown, tossed out 7,000. Campbell called, but mucked after Esposito turned over A♣J♥4♠2♦ to take down the whole pot.

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Jared Jaffee opened to 2,500 from late position and was called by a player in the cutoff as well as the big blind.

Action checked to Jaffee following the 4♦4♥Q♠ flop and he continued for 4,000. That got a quick fold from the cutoff, but the big blind player responded with a raise to 10,000. Jaffee thought for a moment but decided to find a better spot and folded, leaving himself short.

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Ren Lin raised to 3,000 under the gun and found a call from the big blind.

Both players checked the action all the way through the 4♣9♥2♣2♠3♠ runout, with Lin turning over A♣K♦10♥4♠ for two pair to add another pot to his stack.

At a nearby table, Erik Seidel was sliding his stack across the table before exiting the room.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Rob Hollink opened to 1,600 from middle position before Dylan Weisman three-bet to 6,000 from the cutoff. Action folded back around to Hollink who made the call.

Hollink checked following the 9♣7♥7♣ flop and then called after Weisman continued for 5,000.

The 5♥ turn saw Hollink check for a second time. Weisman sized up another bet, this time pushing 14,000 into the middle. That bet convinced Hollink to toss his hand away and keep the big stacked Weisman chipping up.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Scott Bohlman limped from under the gun as did Maxx Coleman in early position, a player in the cutoff and Terence Etim in the small blind. The big blind then checked their option to send five players to the flop.

Action checked through the 6♥J♥Q♦ flop to the 2♦ turn at which point Etim led out for 3,000. That got folds from the big blind and Bohlman but calls from Coleman and the cutoff player.

Etim bet again following the 7♣ river, this time making it 5,000. As before, both Coleman and the cutoff made the call but were forced to split half the pot holding Ax5x for the low while Etim scooped the other half with Q♣7♦3♣2♠.
