Troha Gets Max Value

Jacob Wilson

Level 16 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Action was picked up on the river, with a board reading J♠7♦K♣J♣Q♣. There was 129,000 in the middle, and Vasil Medarov checked his action over to Sean Troha. Troha then bet out for 105,000, which put Medarov deep into the tank.

After an extended period of thinking, he finally flicked in a chip to signify a call. Troha showed K♠K♥10♦6♥ for top boat, and he raked in the chips.

Level 16 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Catching the action on a flop of 4♠8♣K♣ where Brian Brunner got all of his chips into the middle with Michael Lin trying to but him.

Brian Brunner: J♣9♦8♦5♣ All in
Michael Lin: A♠K♥K♠2♠

Lin had top set against the flush draw of Brunner. The 2♥ turn and Q♥ river didn't improve Brunner, and all of his chips were sent over to Lin as he was out.

Odea Gets Much Needed Double

Jacob Wilson

Level 17 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Eoghan Odea got it in with under five bigs preflop, and was hoping to hold against Daniel Clemente, who was the only caller to his shove.

Eoghan Odea: A♣A♦5♦4♣ All in
Daniel Clemente: A♠K♣Q♦2♦

The runout was a sweaty one, as the 10♠3♦Q♣ flop gave Clemente plenty of outs, as he was looking for two pair or Broadway. The 6♦ turn removed a few of them, as Odea picked up the nut flush draw. Clemente did hit his straight on the river, but unfortunately for him he hit a flush also on the J♦ which simultaneously gave Odea the best one, to scoop.

Level 17 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Bruno Furth is sitting with a more-than-average stack of around 550,000, and looks likely to bag and tag for Day 2.

Furth has already tasted success this World Series of Poker, having won Event #5: $5,000 Pot Limit Omaha 8-Handed for a career-best score of $620,696. Then, around a week later, he took the runner-up position in Event #36: $10,000 Pot Limit Omaha 8 or Better 8-Handed for $508,705.

With this much success already, Furth will be full of confidence tomorrow if he can make it through the final level of the day.

As action folded to Rick Aasen in middle position, he announced "pot" and raised to 28,000. Isaac Kempton put in the call from the cutoff before Olivier Brodeur clicked it to 48,000 on the button. Aasen then shoved his remaining 77,000, causing Kempton to fold. Brodeur made the call.

Rick Aasen: K♥K♣3♦2♣ All in
Olivier Brodeur: A♣A♦5♣3♣
