Wheel for Spaugh

Myles Phago

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

On a flop of A♥9♦2♦ with the pot already bloated and nearly at 50,000 Tyler Spaugh had moved all in for his last 39,500. Fabien Larcher went into the tank for two to three minutes before he made the call.

Tyler Spaugh: K♦5♦4♣3♣ All in
Fabien Larcher: A♠J♥8♣8♦

The 5♠ dropped on the turn and made Spaugh the wheel and left Larcher drawing dead. The pot was shipped to Spaugh with the irrelevant 7♥ coming on the river and Larcher was left on fumes.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

No-Limit Hold'em

Michael Mcfadden raised to 4,000 in the hijack, Ricardo Nakamura flatted on the button, and Carlos Saucedo three-bet to 41,000 in the small blind, leaving himself with just 1,000 behind. Mcfadden called and Nakamura got out of the way.

The flop came 2♦4♦10♦ and Mcfadden put Saucedo all in and he made the call to put himself at risk.

Carlos Saucedo: A♥Q♣ All in
Michael Mcfadden: A♦A♣

The 10♠ turn left Saucedo drawing dead and the meaningless Q♠ rolled off on the river.

Brent Francis raised to 6,000 on the button and Martin Kabrhel called in the big blind.

The flop of 8♣9♣9♥ went check-check, bringing the 4♠ turn. Kabrhel moved all in for 18,500 to put himself at risk and Francis thought for a moment before flicking in the call.

Martin Kabrhel: 9♠7♠ All in
Brent Francis: A♠J♣

"I'm dead, nice hand," said Francis before the 10♦ landed on the river.

Nines No Good for Hipperson

Myles Phago

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

No-Limit Hold'em

Garik Tamasian raised from middle position to 6,000, and David Hipperson three-bet all in. Tamasian snap-called.

David Hipperson: 9♥9♣ All in
Garik Tamasian: A♠10♠

The flop came Q♥3♥A♥ to put Tamasian into the lead, and Hipperson needed to spike a nine or heart to stay alive. The turn did not help with the 3♠ coming and nor did the 6♦, and Hipperson was sent packing.
