Chip Counts in Horseshoe Silver

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Keating Can't Find the Fold

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

On a completed board of 85349, the player in the big blind bet 4,000 into a pot of around 9,000. Alex Keating was in the next seat over and inquired: "Good hand?"

His opponent smiled and nodded.

"Very good hand?" Keating asked.

After receiving another confirmation, Keating made the call. He got shown 1010 for the overpair, nodded, and forfeited the pot by mucking his cards.

Hasan Makes a Full House

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

With about 6,000 in the middle, on the AQ77 turn Ercan Hasan bet 2,500 and his opponent made the call.

The board double-paired as the Q hit the river, and Hasan slowed down, check-calling a bet of 5,000. His opponent tabled AK, but it was no good as Hasan made a full house with 97.

Anton Suarez bet for 4,000 into a 12,000 pot on a board that read 2108QJ. Tony Dunst was in the next seat over and was his adversary for the hand.

Dunst put out four T-5,000 chips for a raise to 20,000. Without letting much time pass, Suarez put in the call.

Dunst could only muster up a pair of tens with his A10, while Suarez was comfortably sitting on rivered Broadway with AK. He raked in the pot and is now nearing a six-figure stack.

There were two recent eliminations in the Gold section, first as Sam Snead Sweilem was eliminated holding QxJx against the AA of Concetta Rinaldi-Sorscher on a board of 6310x5xQ.

Across the room, Faraz Jaka was seen stacking up chips after his ace-king beat out pocket tens to send Tyler Matzen to the rail.

Elezra Forces a Fold

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

A player in middle position raised and was called directly behind by Eli Elezra and the player in the big blind.

The flop came Q56 and it was checked to the original raiser, who bet 2,000. Both Elezra and the big blind called.

The 8 fell on the turn and the initial raiser bet again for 4,500. Elezra then raised to 10,500, which got a fold from the big blind but a call from the bettor.

Elezra's opponent checked to him on the 8 river and he tossed 25,000 into the middle. Elezra's opponent eventually folded after tanking for a while and the five-time bracelet winner collected the pot.

Kostyniuk Puts in a Big River Raise

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

There was a limp in early position and Jeffrey Kostyniuk raised to 1,400 from a couple of spots to the left. The action folded back around to the limper and he made the call.

When the Q104 flop came, the limper check-called a continuation bet of 1,000 from Kostyniuk.

The 5 hit the turn and both players quickly checked to the J river.

The player first to act bet 2,400 and Kostyniuk paused for a long moment, counting his stack before firing a raise of 13,000 into the middle. His opponent instantly mucked his hand.

Guerrero Pays Off A Straight Flush

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

With the 910Q108 board already completed, Jimmy Guerrero had 12,000 in front of him on the river and Giuseppe Iadisernia moved all in for around 22,000.

Guerrero was visibly unhappy about it but paid the bet off only to be shown J9 for a straight flush. Guerrero flashed the A and an unknown other heart to indicate he had the nut flush.
