Baldwin Needed One More Bet

Adam Lamers

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Eric Baldwin raised it up from under the gun and Lirui Zhang called from the big blind. The flop came K♥J♦7♥ and Zhang check-called a bet of 5,000 from Baldwin.

The turn was the 8♥ and Zhang checked again. Baldwin tossed in a bet of 14,000 but Zhang stuck around for the 4♦ on the river. Zhang checked for the third time and Baldwin checked it back. Zhang flipped over 10♦7♦ for a pair of sevens and Baldwin couldn't beat it.

"If you bet one more time, I fold," Zhang said after the hand.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Chih Fan in the small blind and Ryan Leng in the big blind both moved all in preflop with the same hand.

Chih Fan: A♥K♥ All in
Ryan Leng: A♦K♦

“I don’t like that,” Fan said as the 7♠Q♣4♦ flop revealed a first diamond. His concern grew with the 9♦ turn, giving Leng a flush draw. But the Q♠ river bricked out, and the pot was chopped.

“I very, very, very, very don’t like that,” Fan repeated while taking his chips back.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Paul Runcan raised to 5,500 in the cutoff and Mauricio Pais moved all in for 16,500 in the small blind. Runcan quickly called for slightly more than his raise and the cards were tabled.

Mauricio Pais: A♣8♣ All in
Paul Runcan: J♣9♥

The flop came 10♣4♠4♥ and Pais was still out front with his ace-high. However, the 9♦ on the turn paired Runcan and the 8♦ on the river was not enough for Pais.

Nick Vazquez

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Virgile Turchi raised to 5,000 from the cutoff. Only Jonathan Little called in the big blind.

The flop was A♦6♠5♣ and Little checked. Turchi bet 4,000 and Little made the call.

Both players checked on the 6♦ turn. Then a third six hit the board on the river, this time the 6♥. Little now bet out for 20,000. Turchi paused for a moment before releasing his hand, and Little scooped the pot to start the day.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Michael Mccullough raised to 6,000 from the cutoff and Nicholas Peterson three-bet to 17,000 in the big blind. Mccullough four-bet shoved all in for his fresh stack of 50,000 and Peterson snapped him off.

Michael Mccullough: A♥7♦ All in
Nicholas Peterson: J♥J♦

The flop came A♠Q♣6♦ and Mccullough found an ace on the flop to take the lead. The 10♣ on the turn gave Peterson some added outs but the 5♦ on the river bricked out, giving Mccullough a double up early on.
