Coleman Settles for a Chop

Cottrell van Wingerden

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

John Monnette limped from under the gun before Maxx Coleman raised to 3,000 in the small blind. A player in the big blind called as did John Monnette.

Coleman checked following the A♦3♦9♣ flop, prompting the big blind to toss out 4,500. Monnette got out of the way while Coleman made the call.

Action checked through the 7♣ turn to the 8♥ river at which point Coleman pushed a bet of 16,800 into the middle. That sent his opponent into the tank but the big blind eventually made the call and showed down A♥K♥8♠3♠. Coleman held A♣J♠5♣2♥ to take the low and chop the pot to leave neither player fully satisfied.

Negreanu Takes From Kelsall

Cottrell van Wingerden

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Daniel Negreanu limped from under the gun as did Andrew Kelsall in the cutoff. A player in the small blind also called with the big blind checking his option to send the four players to the flop.

Action checked to Kelsall following the 7♣K♦Q♥ flop and he led out for 2,000. That forced both of the blinds out but Negreanu made the call to see a turn.

Negreanu checked on the board pairing 7♥ turn before calling a second bet of 3,000 from Keslall.

Both players checked on the 5♠ river with Negreanu turning over A♥Q♣7♠2♥ for the full house. Kelsall, meanwhile, could only muster K♥Q♦3♥Xx to concede the pot to his opponent.
