River Queen Saves Pogson

Jeff McMillan

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Action was picked up on the turn as the board read 7♥K♦10♥9♦. From the small blind, James Pogson jammed all in for 57,000 over a bet of 11,500 from Nick Yunis in early position.

Yunis studied Pogson and the pot of about 25,000 as he thought it over. Eventually he called to put Pogson at risk.

James Pogson: J♣10♣ All in
Nick Yunis: K♥Q♣

Yunis lead with top pair but the river was the Q♠ to hit the straight for Pogson as he stayed alive and Yunis was left shaking his head in disgust.

Schill Applies Maximum Pressure

Herbie Teope

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Action picked up on a board showing 7♠Q♦8♣5♦5♣ and an out-of-position player just checked, putting action on Daniel Schill.

The pot was bloated with a little more than 45,000 in the middle, and high drama ensued when Schill moved all in, a move that covered his opponent.

Schill’s opponent immediately appeared uneasy, leaning back in his chair and leaning off to his side, resting his head in his arms while studying the board.

The player then repositioned himself in his chair to sit up. He leaned forward, looked at the board and across the table at Schill, who didn’t move.

Schill’s opponent then cut out his chip stack, stared at his chips for few more moments before pushing his cards forward and surrendering the hand to Schill.

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Three players saw a flop of 6♠2♣5♠ where the big blind bet 18,000. Another player in early position called, but Jared Koppel raised to 60,000 on the button. Only the big blind called.

The turn was the 6♥ and Koppel moved all in for 171,000. The big blind snap-called with Q♠Q♣, but Koppel had 4♦3♦ for a flopped straight.

His opponent began pleading for a six with more than 500,000 in the middle, but he missed the 8♦ river as Koppel held on to secure the massive double up.
