Mather Gets Aces... Again

Liam Gannon

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Bob Mather raised to 800 from the cutoff and the button and both blinds came along.

The flop rolled out Q♣8♣6♣ and action checked over to Mather who bet 1,500 which only the button called.

On the turn K♦ Mather bet 2,000 and was called again with action checking through on the river Q♦.

Mather turned over A♣A♦ for aces up which was good for the pot as a tablemate commented "that's the third time you've had aces today."

"And I'm below starting stack," responded Mather "what does that say about me?"

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Amit Benyacov raised from early position to 1,000 and was only called by Jason Lockhart in the seat to his left.

Benyacov bet 1,500 on the 4♣9♥6♠ flop. Lockhart called and they headed to the turn.

The A♦ on the turn got checked through for the K♣ to appear on the river. Benyacov bet 3,500 and Lockhart quickly called. Benyacov turned over A♥10♠ and took down the pot with a pair of aces.

On a nearby table, Josh Arieh was seen leaving the tournament area and has busted the WSOP Main Event.

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Four-handed on a flop of 4♥9♦10♦, Romain Bailleul bet 2,000 from middle position and Daniel Samson called in the cutoff, as did an opponent in the big blind.

The turn was the 3♠ and Bailleul bet 5,000. Samson then raised to 20,000 and the big blind folded, while Bailleul snap-called for his last 19,700.

He showed A♦10♠ for top pair, while Samson had 5♦2♦ for straight and flush draws. Samson missed all his draws on the Q♣ river and Bailleul held on to double up.

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Last year's WSOP Millionaire Maker runner-up Florian Ribouchon defended from the big blind after Nana Sanechika opened to 1,000 from middle position.

The dealer fanned a flop of J♣2♣10♥ and both players checked. But on the 6♣ turn, Ribouchon bet 800. Sanechika raised to 2,500, then called for her last 17,000 after Ribouchon moved all-in.

Nana Sanechika: J♠10♦ All in
Florian Ribouchon: K♣Q♣

Sanechika called with two pair but ran into Ribouchon's flush, so she was eliminated after the 2♥ river.

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Laszlo Nagy limped in from early position, as did Robert Cameron in the cutoff, and Josh Arieh on the button. The big blind Weiran Pu chose to check his option and see a flop.

The flop came 7♣2♥A♦ and the players check to Arieh, who bet out 2,000. Pu made the call while Nagy and Cameron folded.

After the 7♦ on the turn, both players checked to the river.

The river was the 4♦ and Pu bet out 1,600. Arieh chose to lay his hand down and give Pu the pot.
