Michael Giacobbe

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Action started with a limp from under the gun. Early position limped and Jacob Hamed limped from the hijack position.

The button raised to 5,200 and under the gun made the call. Early position three-bet to 22,5000 and Hamed moved all in for his 25,000-chip starting stack. The button called all in for 25,000, under the gun called and early position called as well.

With two players already all in, the flop came down 8♠2♠7♦ and under the gun moved all in for 20,000. Early position quickly made the call covering all three players.

Jacob Hamed: 10♦8♦8♣6♣ All in
Button: A♥K♠10♠9♦ All in
Under the gun: J♥J♦8♥6♦ All in
Early position: K♦K♣9♣3♥

The board ran out 7♠5♣ and Hamed made a full house to quadruple up. Early position won a side pot as well resulting in under the gun and the button player being eliminated.

Prociak 'Gambles' to Send One Out

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

The under-the-gun player limped before there was a raise to 2,400 from a couple of spots to his left. Eric Fields and David Prociak called in the blinds, followed by the under-the-gun limper doing the same.

The dealer fanned a flop of 8♥7♥5♦, and once checked to, the under-the-gun player shoved for his last 6,000. The action quickly folded back to Prociak who announced "Gamble," before tossing in the call.

Under-the-Gun Player: Q♣8♠7♣7♦ All in
David Prociak: A♠10♥5♠2♥

Prociak was against a set but the 3♥ turn gave him a flush, and we was able to fade the board pairing as the 9♠ completed the board on the river.
