Stewart Morrison

Level 9 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Sean Winter raised to 35,000 in early position, and when the button flat-called, John Kinkaid pounced in the big blind, raising to 200,000.

Action back on Winter, who responded by moving all in for 975,000. The player on the button had no hesitation in folding, and action returned to Kincaid. After taking a moment to consider his options, he tried to engage in some conversation with Winter, who chose not to respond. Kincaid then used one time bank and threw his cards into the muck.

Level 9 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

According to the WSOP+ app, after a preflop betting war, Chance Kornuth moved all in for 535,000 and was snap-called my Michael ‘Texas Mike’ Moncek to put him at risk.

Chance Kornuth: K♥Q♣ All in
Michael Moncek : A♠J♠

The flop was extremely juicy as it came Q♠7♠4♦ to give Kornuth top pair, but it also gave Moncek the nut flush draw.

The turn K♦ took away Moncek’s ace-outs, but he could now hit a ten for a gutshot. Unfortunately for him, the river bricked with the 7♦, and Kornuth scored the double.

“Didn’t think ace-jack would cost you that much, did ya?” Alan Keating smiled as he delivered the light needle, and Moncek laughed with the rest of the table.

Left with just 65,000, Moncek got it all in preflop the next hand and was called by Kornuth.

Moncek tabled A♦7♦ and was in good shape against the A♠3♦ of Kornuth, but the runout came K♠10♠10♦4♦3♥ to give Kornuth the three on the river to send him out.

“How much did that massage cost?” He asked the masseuse saw he stood up, “Besides $100k.”

Winter Sniffs Out the Bluff

Stewart Morrison

Level 9 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

John Kincaid raised to 35,000 in the hijack, and Sean Winter called on the button.

After the players in the blinds folded, the dealer fanned out a 5♦Q♦7♣ flop. Kincaid continued for 40,000, and Winter called.

The turn A♦ checked through, but when the river A♠ was dealt, Kincaid decided to continue his previous aggression. He placed a bet of 75,000, which put Winter into the tank. After using one time bank and telling his opponent he had a good hand, Winter decided to call.

Kincaid flipped over K♠10♠, which was no good as Winter had Q♠J♠, good for two-pair and ownership of the pot.
