Blackwelder Cracks Kings

Nick Becker

Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Forrest Blackwelder limped on the button and Aubrey Williams made it 52,000 to go in the small blind.

"I'll dance with you," said Blackwelder as he made the call.

The flop came 7♠10♥6♣ and Williams check-raised to 255,000 over Blackwelder's bet of 100,000. Blackwelder then moved all in for 472,000 to put himself at risk and Williams quickly called.

Forrest Blackwelder: 7♦5♦ All in
Aubrey Williams: K♥K♦

Blackwelder spiked a seven on the 7♥ turn, improving to trips. The J♥ landed on the river, earning him the big double up.

Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Charles Thomas raised from late position to 25,000, and Simon Britton three-bet to 75,000 from the button.

Uri Reichenstein then decided to four bet all in from the small blind for 182,000. Thomas folded, and Britton snap-called.

Uri Reichenstein: A♠A♣ All in
Simon Britton: 10♠10♦

Reichenstein needed to dodge a ten for a full double up and more.

The 9♥8♣4♣8♦2♠ board duly obliged, and 25k Fantasy Player Reichenstein was sent the pot.

"This Might Be a Slow Roll"

Barry Russell

Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

There were roughly 180,000 chips in the pot on the flop of 10♠J♣10♥, Toan Nguyen who was under the gun checked to Uri Reichenstein in the hijack, and he bet 32,000. Nguyen called.

Action went check-check when the 10♣ hit the turn, and Nguyen put Reichenstein all in for 320,000 when the 7♠ fell on the river. Reichenstein was clearly in the blender as he said out loud, "this might be a slow roll," and called.

Nguyen tabled K♥Q♣ for a stone-bluff, and Reichenstein tabled J♦J♠ for top full house. Reichenstein caught some heat from his tablemates.

Toan Nguyen	200,000 645,000	645,000
