Correia Nabs Juanda's Bounty

Jim Murray

Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

In a hand relayed to PokerNews by Francisco Correia, Correia raised to 8,000 from middle position and John Juanda moved all-in for 42,000 from late position, with Correia making the call.

John Juanda: 8x8x
Francisco Correia: A♦5♦

Correia caught a diamond on the Q♦6x10x flop, but would still need an ace or running cards to catch up and score the knockout.

The K♦ on the turn would get Correia halfway there, and the 3♦ on the river completed the flush to eliminate Juanda and collect the $2,015 bounty.

Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

David Peters bet 8,000 from under the gun and was called by early position, Sridhar Sangannagari in the cutoff and the big blind.

Action was checked round to Sangannagari after the monotone flop of A♦10♦2♦ and he bet 21,000. This gained quick folds from the big blind and Peters, while the early position player took a little bit longer to throw his cards into the muck.

The early position player asked "Did you have it?" Sangannagari wryly responded "It was a very good flop" as he added chips to his stack.

Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

With about 23,000 in the pot and the board reading A♠K♥9♠, a player checked from early position and Jimmy Lee bet 7,000, receiving a call from his opponent.

Lee fired again when checked to on the 10♣ turn, this time for 16,000.

The river was the 3♣. The early position player checked and Lee fired a third bet for 30,000. After briefly considering his options his opponent made the call.

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

With the board reading J♥3♥2♥Q♣ and about 95,000 in the middle, Xuan Liu bet 45,000 and Z Stein raised all in with a covering stack. Liu made the call and was at risk.

Xuan Liu: K♥K♠
Z Stein: Q♠Q♦

Liu was in bad shape with an overpair against Stein's turned set of queens, and found no improvement on the 5♦ river, resulting in her elimination while Stein collected a colossal pot.

Chris Bean

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

With 37,000 in the middle on a flop of 8♠6♠5♣, Melanie Weisner announced all in from the big blind to put Todd Hansen at risk in middle position for 55,000. Hansen looked at his cards again and exhaled cautiously "I guess I call."

Todd Hansen: J♦J♠
Melanie Weisner: Q♠5♠

Hansen was ahead with the over-pair, but had to dodge a ton of outs as Weisner had a pair of fives and a flush draw. The run out was safe for Hansen as the 10♦K♥ completed the board and a much-needed double-up close to the bubble.

Weisner Gets the Double After Beat From Hansen

Jim Murray

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

A player from early position raised to 10,000, and Melanie Weisner moved all-in for 85,000 from late position, getting the call from the original raiser.

Melanie Weisner: A♣J♥
Early Position Player: J♠J♦

Weisner was well behind the jacks of the early position player heading into the flop but would take over the lead after the dealer rolled out the 7♥A♠6♣ board.

The 3♥ on the turn and the 8♦ on the river would be of no help to the early position player, and secured Weisner the much-needed double.

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Phil Hellmuth opened to 13,000 from under the gun, and a player in the big blind defended.

Both players checked the K♦7♣10♣ flop leading to the 3♠ turn. The big blind bet 35,000, and Hellmuth made the call.

The big blind fired again on the K♠ river, this time opting to bet a smaller size of 15,000. Hellmuth immediately made the call.

Hellmuth tabled Q♣Q♥ for two pair, kings and queens, while the big blind could only showdown 9♥8♦ for a missed straight draw turned into a bluff on the river.

Hall of Famer Enright Triples Up

Chris Bean

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

The player in middle position bet 10,000 and was shoved on by Barbara Enright on the button for 20,000. The small blind moved all in for 157,000 and put the middle position player deep into the tank. They precisely said, "I need about 43 seconds." When that time elapsed, they folded.

Barbara Enright: A♣Q♥
Small Blind: A♠10♠

Enright had their opponent dominated, and there was no help for the small blind on the board of K♥8♦5♣A♦J♠ as Enright secured the triple-up.
