Uhl Wins A Battle of the Blinds

Chris Land

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Action folded to Wayne Uhl in the small blind who raised to 1,700 and got a call from the big blind leading to a K♠9♠9♥ flop.

Uhl quickly grabbed chips and continued with a bet of 1,300. His opponent in the big blind called the bet to bring out the A♥ on the turn.

Uhl again very quickly and decisively grabbed chips and tossed out another 1,300 bet and again was called by the big blind before the dealer brought out the 5♣ on the river.

Action checked through and Uhl turned over the A♠2♦. His opponent mucked, saying that he had a king as Uhl pulled in the pot.

Kirk Brown

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

On a three-way flop of 2♠7♣K♣, Stephen Bartlett and Jack 'Bitty' Bittker checked from the big blind and early positon, and the middle position player then bet 1,600.

Both Bartlett and Bittker both called and the trio went to the turn 6♦, where everyone checked.

On the river 8♦, Bartlett led out for 4,500 and Bittker thought for a few seconds before making the call and the other player quickly folded.

Bartlett then flipped over A♦7♦ for a pair of sevens but then Bittker revealed K♦J♣ for top pair to take down the sizeable pot.

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Glenn Lafaye and Anas Benohod built a pot of around 20,000 heading to the 7♦K♣8♣ flop when Lafaye bet 7,000 from the hijack. Benohod instantly moved a stack of chips forward for a raise, and Lafaye snap-called for his last 39,300.

Glenn Lafaye: A♣K♣
Anas Benohod: A♥A♠

Lafaye had flopped top pair but was in bad shape against Benohod's aces. The turn, though, came the K♥ and Lafaye made trips to take the lead.

Benohod now needed to hit the last remaining ace in the deck but couldn't find it on the 7♠ river as Lafaye doubled up.
