Three-Quarters for "Miami" John

Yori Epskamp

Level 27 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 0 ante

On a K♠7♣2♣ flop, John Cernuto, Matthew Aronowitz, and Mathew Rego checked it around. Cernuto bet the 5♣ on the turn, leaving himself with just 30,000 behind, and both Aronowitz and Rego called.

On the Q♥ river, the final chips went in and two quick calls followed.

Cernuto showed A♣7♦4♣2♠ for the nut flush and a 7-5-4-2-A low. Aronowitz mucked and Rego tabled A♥Q♦8♦4♥ for the same low to take a quarter of the pot.

The board ran out 5♥4♣ and the fives and twos were good for Phelps to take down the whole pot and eliminate Yu from the tournament.

Level 27 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 0 ante

Jason Stockfish was all in for 120,000 from under the gun. Pearce Arnold called in middle position, Aleksey Filatov called on the button, and Curtis Phelps and Adam Nattress jumped in from the blinds.

With Stockfish all in and four active players still in the hand, the flop came down Q♥6♦2♣. Phelps and Nattress checked, Arnold bet, and three calls ensued. On the 7♥ turn, Phelps and Nattress checked again, Arnold bet, and once again three calls followed.

The river was the 2♠ and Phelps, Nattress, and Arnold all checked. Filatov stuck in a final bet, Phelps called, Nattress folded, and Arnold called.

Jason Stockfish: A♥K♣J♥4♦ All in
Aleksey Filatov: K♥4♣3♦2♥
Curtis Phelps: A♦9♠4♠3♣
Pearce Arnold: A♣J♦10♣3♠

Filatov's king-deuce was good enough to win the high half of the pot with trip deuces. Phelps and Arnold both had the nut low and took a quarter each, while Stockfish was eliminated.
