Coleman Gets Agressive

Ollie Garland

Level 4 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

The pot stood at approximately 40,000 with both the blinds looking at a full board of 7♣3♥Q♦Q♣3♠.

Artur Martirosian, in the small blind, checked to David Coleman, in the big blind. Coleman bet out 30,500 and Martirosian check-raised to 93,000.

Coleman went into the tank before responding to a raise that looked to be around 235,000. Before the dealer could give Martirosian a count, he had already placed his cards on top of the muck.

Level 3 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

Chance Kornuth raised to 6,000 under the gun, the player in the cutoff flatted, and Nikita Kuznetsov three-bet to 27,500 from the small blind. Kornuth then four-bet to 60,000, the cutoff folded and Kuznetsov called.

The flop came 2♦3♠10♣, and Kuznetsov check-raised to 78,000 over Kornuth's bet of 33,000. Kornuth made the call.

On the 4♥ turn Kuznetsov checked and Kornuth moved all in for 109,000, putting himself at risk. Kuznetsov used a timebank card before eventually giving up his hand.

Level 3 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

Vinny Lingham bet 10,000 from early position on a flop of 10♣J♣Q♥. Sandra Bratton called from the seat next to him and Galen Hall called out of the blinds.

The action was checked by all three players on the 5♦ turn to see the 7♥ come on the river. Hall checked, and Lingham bet 10,000. Bratton folded but Hall put in the call. Lingham turned over Q♦8♦ for a pair of queens which won him the pot as Hall mucked.

Level 3 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

There was approximately 70,000 in the middle with two players looking at a full board of 7♥3♠5♥10♠K♣.

Michael Rocco, in the big blind, moved all in for 167,000, sending Daniel Negreanu, in middle position, deep into the tank. Thinking aloud as he did so, Negreanu contemplated his decision as a crowd started to gather.

Negreanu finally folded and Rocco won this pot without a showdown.

Level 3 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

Michael Rocco limped from the cutoff. John Brooks called from the small blind and Daniel Negreanu checked his option from the big blind.

Brooks led out for 5,000 on the 2♥4♥5♦ flop. Negreanu called before Rocco raised to 20,000. Only Brooks made the call.

Brooks checked the 9♣ turn and Rocco bet enough to put him all-in. The bet was for 67,500 and after a bit of thought, Brooks made the call.

John Brooks : 8♥5♣ All in
Michael Rocco: 6♦4♦

Rocco couldn't find the help he needed on the river as the 2♦ came. With that, Brooks would double up with his pair of fives.
