Kassin Gets It in with a Straight Flush Draw

Ollie Garland

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

The action was caught as two players were tabling their cards with around 7,000 in the middle on the 4♣2♣3♦ flop.

Charles Kassin, on the button, was the player at risk as he was all in for his remaining stack of 36,100, against the small blind.

Charles Kassin: 5♣3♣ All in
Small Blind: 5♦5♠

The small blind was ahead with their overpair but Kassin's pair of threes also had an open-ended straight flush draw for extra insurance.

The 3♥ turn gave Kassin trips and the 8♦ river confirmed his double up.

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Dean Lyall raised to 1,600 from under the gun and the player in the big blind called. The flop looked like a big blind special with 8♣3♣6♦ although Lyall still placed the continuation bet of 2,600 and a call was delivered.

On the turn Q♣ the big blind took the lead and bet 2,200 and Lyall called.

The K♦ on the river prompted another bet from the big blind for 12,500 and Lyall went into the think tank for a long time and ended up making the call.

The big blind turned over 7♣5♥ for a missed straight and Lyall turned over A♥A♠ for top pair.

Quoc Le moved all in from under the gun for 6,100, Ronald Hunt, to Le's direct left, moved all in himself and the hand went to a showdown.

Quoc Le: 5♦5♣ All in
Ronald Hunt: A♣A♥

Le was in bad shape, but the 2♣9♣5♥ flop reversed their fates. The Q♥ turn and Q♠ river upgraded Le to a full house and he cracked aces to double.

Level 5 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Kodey Hammer raised to 1,200 from under the gun, the hijack three-bet to 3,500 and Hammer called.

The 7♣5♣10♣ flop saw Hammer check to hijack, who bet out 3,000. Hammer clicked it back to 6,000 and the hijack quickly raised to 18,000. Hammer moved all in just as quickly and the hijack called.

Hijack: A♣7♠ All in
Kodey Hammer: Q♣J♣

Hammer had flopped a flush, but the hijack had outs to the nuts. However, the 5♦ turn and Q♥ river changed nothing and Hammer sent his opponent to the rail.
