Coleman Doubles Through Carden

Jeff McMillan

Level 29 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Joseph Carden jammed from the small blind and Maxx Coleman snap-called in the big blind.

Maxx Coleman: 10♣10♥ All in
Joseph Carden: 4♣4♥

The flop put Coleman on an even higher pedestal as it came 10♦K♥8♣. The turn was the K♣ to prevent anything miraculous from happening and the 6♠ finished out the board as Coleman got a needed double.

Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Ben Hoy raised from middle position. David Stamm jammed 1,200,000 from the hijack and Hoy called when it folded back to him.

David Stamm: J♥J♠ All in
Ben Hoy: K♠Q♣

The board ran out safely for the jacks, 2♥4♣3♦6♠3♣ and Stamm gathered a double through Hoy whose stack had been pumped back up before thanks to a few modest pots won in a row to help cushion the blow from the double.

Ben Hoy	5,100,000 1,300,000	1,300,000

Action Slowing Down

Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Since the players returned from the break, action has slowed down a bit. We have mainly seen smaller pots and reduced bet sizes, with Ben Hoy being one of the more active players in these smaller pots.

In a fairly typical hand as of late, action started with a preflop raise from Ben Hoy under the gun, which was called by Nikolay Yosifov in the big blind.

The flop was K♦5♦J♣. Yosifov checked and Hoy bet 350,000. Yosifov called.

The turn 10♣ got checked around.

The river was the 3♣ and after another check from Yosifov, Hoy bet 400,000. Yosifov called. Hoy turned over A♣K♥ and Yosifov mucked his hand.
