On the river 3, Smith sized up to 60,000 and his opponent beat him into the pot.

Smith turned over 86 for an eight-high straight, which had his opponent flash 66 for an inferior seven-high straight as Smith raked in the pot.

Anthony Zinno
Anthony Zinno

Anthony Zinno was down to his final few blinds, which he tossed in preflop. He was looked up by Maurice Hawkins, who had the covering stack.

Anthony Zinno: A4 All in
Maurice Hawkins: AA

The flop brought the last ace in the deck with A910, meaning that the 7 and 3 river did not matter anymore.

"Nice hand, Maurice," Zinno commented as he took his leave.

Ball Flops The Nuts

Level 5 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Niall Farrell raised to 6,000 from the hijack and in the cutoff, Scott Ball three-bet to 21,000 which Farrell called.

Both players checked the 5J6 flop to the 7 turn where Farrell check-called a bet of 12,000 from Ball.

The river peeled off the A which saw Farrell check over to Ball who bet 43,000.

"Did you just flop it?" asked Farrell as he contemplated his decision. After some more thought he put in the chips and mucked after seeing Ball's A3 for a flopped flush.

Nikolai Mamut raised to 6,500 under the gun. Phil Ivey on the button inquired after Mamut's stack before flicking in the call, after which Espen Jorstad defended his big blind.

The flop fell AAA, leading to some table chatter. Jorstad checked to Mamut, who continued for 5,000 chips. Ivey made the call before Jorstad folded.

The 3 came on the turn, which saw Mamut bet 26,000. A quick fold followed from Ivey, and the pot was shipped to Mamut.
