Wlodkowski Finds a Double

Ollie Garland

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Marc Wlodkowski raised to 1,400 from under the gun, Barry Greenstein called in early position, as did Rocco Lazazzaro, in the hijack, as well as the big blind.

The 8♠K♠4♠ flop saw the action check to Lazazzaro, who bet out 5,000. The big blind folded and Wlodkowski check-raised, moving all in for 20,000. Greenstein got out the way and Lazazzaro called.

Marc Wlodkowski: 8♣8♥ All in
Rocco Lazazzaro: K♦Q♦

Wlodkowski was ahead with a set and the A♦ turn and A♥ river improved Wlodkowski to a full house, doubling him up.

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Maria Konnikova opened to 1,300 from middle position. All players from the hijack to the small blind called. The big blind folded and they were five-way to the flop.

It came 10♦10♠9♥ and got checked around, as did the turn K♣.

On the river 6♦, the small blind checked and Konnikova bet 3,000. She got a call from Bobby Gunter, who was in the hijack. The other players folded.

Konnikova showed A♠K♦ and took the pot.

Despite a small setback paying off Konnikova, Gunter’s stack has been going in the right direction. Just the hand prior, he bet 20,000 into a pot of a bit under 30,000 on the board Q♥7♣8♠6♦A♥ from the cutoff. He got insta-called by his opponent in the small blind, quickly turned over 10♣9♠ for no less than the nut straight and took down a sizeable pot.

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

The pot stood at approximately 10,000 with two players looking at a full board of 6♥4♦K♣5♠2♣.

Ankit Ahuja, who was under the gun, checked the action to the player in the hijack, who bet out 8,000. Ahuja responded by check-raising, moving all in for approximately 43,000, sending his opponent deep into the tank.

The hijack thought for a considerable amount of time before finally laying down their hand with some frustration.

The action was caught as Landon Tice, in the hijack, was all in and at risk for his effective stack of 20,000, against the button.

Landon Tice: A♥Q♠ All in
Button: K♣J♦

The board ran out 6♥9♠10♥9♥8♥; Tice was ahead the whole way, rivering the nut flush to find the full double up.
