Fearn's Full House

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Action came in on the river as it read 8489A. There was a pot of about 40,000 in it.

John Fearn made a bet of 25,000 which was for almost all of his opponent's chips, who thought about it for quite some time before flicking in the call.

Fearn tabled the 98 for the full boat and his opponent angrily mucked as he was left with just a few chips.

Hardie Hits the Straight

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Shaundle Pruitt raised from under the gun to 1,300 and Heather Hardie on the button and the big blind both came along for the ride. The flop came out with 74Q and Pruitt checked and Hardie bet 1,600 and the big blind called. Pruitt folded.

On the turn 8 the big blind came out for a lead of 2,000 and Hardie three-bet to 5,000 which was called.

The river 2 slowed down the big blind who checked and Hardie bet out 12,200 and the big blind called.

The big blind turned over 78 for two pair and Hardie turned over 65 for the straight.

Richard Dixon (in.a previous event)

Wyoming's winningest player Richard Dixon was spotted in action on a turn that showed 68J5. His opponent bet 6,500 and Dixon raised to 13,000 which his opponent called.

The river was the A. Dixon put forward a 25,000 chip and announced a bet. His opponent went deep into the tank and took a solid two minutes before giving it up to send Dixon the pot.

Nut Flush for Carmichael

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Sean Carmichael raised from late position to 1,500 and the big blind made the call. The flop came out with 6310 and both players checked.

On the turn 6, the big blind led out for 2,100 and Carmichael made the call.

The river J slowed the big blind down, who checked, and Carmichael put in 4,000. The big blind thought for a while and made the call, hoping Carmichael did not have a heart but he did with the AJ and the big blind agonized over his call and showed the 6 for trips.

The Summer of 74

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

An excited Dan Komem flagged down PokerNews, with what he believes to be pertinent information in the 2024 World Series of Poker, hosted by Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas.

Per Komem's fervent explanation, 7x4x is the hand of the summer and a force to be reckoned with. His tablemates confirmed that Komem was using said hand as a weapon, whether suited or unsuited. Shortly after declaring the power of the double-gapper he received a walk in the big blind with that very hand.

Only moments after PokerNews left the scene Komem claimed another pot, a winner with the dreaded 7x4x. He further commented that the hand of the summer of 2023 was Jx8x; sources could neither confirm nor deny.

Quattrini Wins with a Straight

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Action was caught on the turn, where the board was QJJ2. James Eglinton was in the big blind, checked and called a bet of 1,600 by Alejandro Quartinni on the cutoff.

The river was the 8. Eglinton now lead for 4,000 and was raised by Quattrini to 12,000.

Eglinton called and was visibly disappointed to see his opponent turn over 109 for the rivered straight. Quattrini took down the pot and Eglinton later said he had trip jacks.
