Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Four players limped the pot: Michael Young in middle position, Eric Uhl in late position, Yucel Eminoglu in the cutoff and Julius Roque on the button. The big blind, Ronald Slucker, decided to check his option.

They saw a flop of 7♥J♣K♦. When action checked to him, Uhl bet 10,000, pushing everyone out of the pot except Young, who called. The turn 6♦ fell, and Uhl bet another 20,000 after another check. Young stayed on again.

Both players checked the 7♦ river. Young showed K♠3♠ evoking Uhl to call him, "River Rat!" as he turned over K♣10♦ for a split pot.

Ronald Surenkamp shoved for 13,000 from under the gun. He was called by Michael Gross in middle position, but Massoud Eskandari raised from the cutoff and made Gross fold.

Ronald Surenkamp: 8♦8♠ All in
Massoud Eskandari: 3♦3♠

"You're way ahead," Eskandari said before flopping a set on 3♣A♦9♣. The 9♥2♠ runout gave him a full house and Surenkamp was eliminated.

Gamueda Picks up a Big Pot

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Roxanne Johnson

Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Tony Gamueda raised to 20,000 from early position, and Jonathan Tolzin three-bet to 60,000 from the button. Gamueda made the call to see the flop of A♠2♦10♠. Tolzin moved all of his chips in the pot for 40,000 and Gamueda called.

Jonathan Tolzin: Q♣Q♦ All in
Tony Gamueda: A♥J♥

The turn 8♥ and the river K♠ did nothing to improve Tolzin's queens and Gamueda won with his pair of aces.
