Rheem Puts Opponent in the Blender

Ryan Lashmar

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Action was picked up on the turn with players heads up and the board reading 6♥2♣A♦A♠. Chino Rheem checked from the small blind and a player in the big blind bet 3,500. Rheem check-raised to 11,000 and was called by his opponent.

The river came the 7♣. Rheem moved all in, covering his opponent's remaining stack of 28,100. The big blind went deep into the tank with his tournament life on the line.

After over four minutes of thought the big blind folded his cards and Rheem collected a nice pot.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

After a series of raises before the flop, Anthony Mar and Lucia Navarro had all of the chips in the middle and it was Mar at risk for 46,100.

Anthony Mar: K♣K♦
Lucia Navarro: A♣A♦

"This is the fourth time this has happened to me in the Main Event," Mar said as the cards were tabled.

Unfortunately for Mar, he couldn't find one of the last remaining kings as the board ran out 9♦7♠6♥5♦8♠.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

After allegedly losing half his stack with queens against aces prior, Bobby Oboodi once again was involved in a preflop all-in, this time against Bryan Jimenez. Oboodi's 53,200 remaining chips barely covered Jimenez's stack of 49,700 and the cards went on their backs.

Bryan Jimenez: K♥K♣
Bobby Oboodi: A♠A♥

This time it was Oboodi who held the pocket aces, and they would hold when the board ran out 10♣J♦5♦9♥2♣. Oboodi almost climbed back up to what he started the day with, and Jimenez was eliminated with his premium holding early on Day 2d.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Matthew Beinner raised from the cutoff to 1,700, the button called and Anshul Kulshrestha three-bet to 6,500. Only Beinner called.

The flop came 2♦2♠K♣ and Kulshrestha continued for 5,000. Beinner elected to see a turn.

The 4♣ fell and Kulshrestha slowed down. Beinner took the lead for 25,400 and Kulshrestha went into the tank.

"Will you show if I fold? I have a good hand," Kulshrestha stated before folding J♠J♥ face up. Beinner obliged and flashed the K♠ as he raked in the pot.

Will Jaffe opened to 1,700 from middle position and Martin Nielsen three-bet to 5,000 from the small blind. Jaffe called.

Both players checked on the A♦2♥4♠ flop and then Nielsen bet 4,000 when the J♥ fell on the turn. Jaffe called.

The J♦ completed the board and Nielsen bet enough to put Jaffe all in for his last 14,000. Jaffe went deep into the tank, but eventually found a fold and Nielsen dragged the pot.

Building a Nice Pot

Roxanne Johnson

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

The player in early position raised to 1,800 and the players on the cutoff, button and big blind all came along. The flop came out 4♦4♥K♥ and the big blind checked. The early position player made the continuation bet of 2,200 and everyone folded except Daniel Vargas on the button.

The turn brought the 9♠ and early position bet 5,000. Despite being in the hand, Vargas carried on his casual conversation at the table and called.

Both players checked through the river 5♥ and Vargas flipped over A♦K♠ and the early position player flipped over one card, the K♣, and Vargas scooped the pot with his pair of kings with the ace kicker.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

The action folded around to Mason Hinkle in the small blind and he dropped 15,000 across the line. Nicolaus Paszkiewicz was in the big blind and called off his remaining stack of about 8,000.

Mason Hinkle: 8♦8♠
Nicolaus Paszkiewicz: K♣4♣

Hinkle was in great shape with his pocket eights and the Q♥7♠2♦8♥3♣ runout improved him to a set of eights to eliminate Paszkiewicz.
