Rollman Takes the Family Pot

Laura Fryer
Laura Fryer
Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Michael Wagner limped from early position and Brian Hartner called from middle position. There were five more calls, with nearly everyone on the table taking part in the preflop action. Daniel Rollman called from the hijack, Roberto Germino from the cutoff, Younes Ben-Iken on the button and both the blinds, Jason Wheeler in the small and Jose Rivera in the big blind.

The 5♦6♣9♣ flop saw the blinds check as did Wagner, with Hartner betting 1,200 from middle position. There were only two calls, Rollman from the hijack and Wheeler in the small blind.

The J♣ was turned. Wheeler and Hartner checked. Rollman bet out 3,000 which was enough for him to see two folds and take the family pot.

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Sung Yun on the button opened to 1,600 and only got big blind player Scott Singer to call. Both players saw a flop of 9♦K♦7♠.

Singer check-called Yun's bet of 1,300. After a check on the turn A♦, Yun looked at her chips, before picking up 2,200 and putting it in the middle.

Without hesitation, Singer folded his hand. The dealer pushed the chips towards Yun.

Saleh Saved by Set

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Syed Saleh found himself all in and at risk preflop, as he had run into the big slick of Mike Vander Veer.

Syed Saleh: 4♦4♣ All in
Mike Vander Veer: A♠K♦

It seemed like showers for Saleh, as the 10♦K♣5♣ had him up and out of his chair. He repositioned himself upon seeing the 6♣ turn, as he picked up additional outs. In the end, he used one that had been there from the start, as the 4♠ river doubled him up, almost back to starting stack.

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Stephan Kribben opened to 800 in hijack and got a three-bet to 2,400 from Kelly Dalke in cutoff. Kribben called.

Kribben check-called Dalke's bet for 2,000 on the flop 7♥9♠4♦. After a check on the river 4♥, Dalke fired another 5,000, which was enough to take the pot down.

Dalke claimed that he had a big hand as he scooped the pot.

Short-stacked Steven Ashton went all in and got a call from Paul Figliomeni in the cutoff.

Paul Figliomeni: Q♦Q♣

Needing all sorts of help, Ashton didn't get any from the runout of 3♣A♣4♥8♣10♦, and was bounced from the tournament.

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

In late position, Raza Malik opened to 1,200, and Saba Peralta reraised him to 3,600 from the button. When action came back to him, Malik called.

The flop came J♦4♣Q♦. Malik check-raised to 11,000 after Peralta bet 4,200. Peralta replied with an all-in shove for around 40,000, sending Malik to the tank as he only had 18,000 behind. After a few seconds, Malik folded face up, showing A♥Q♥ for top pair, conceding the pot to Peralta.

Nick Vazquez

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Leonardo Rubinsztain raised from early position to 1,000, and only Dexter Burns made the call in the cutoff.

The flop was Q♦5♠3♦, and Rubinsztain checked to Burns, who bet 1,000. Rubinstzain called.

The turn was the 10♦, and Rubinsztain checked again. Burns bet 2,200 this time, and Rubinstzain called again.

Both players checked on the 7♦ river, Rubinsztain turned over Q♣8♣, but Burns revealed the Q♠J♠ and took the pot.

Rubinsztain lost a little in this hand, but he's still sitting with a well above-average stack in the early stages of play.

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

There were roughly 18,000 chips in the pot on 3♦Q♥7♠8♦, action checked to Sorin Morariu who was on the button and he fired out a bet of 5,300, Xizhe Yuan called in early position and Demarco Howard called in the hijack.

Morariu put all of his 17,100 chips into the middle when the Q♦ fell on the river, Yuan quickly folded and Howard made the call.

Howard tabled K♥Q♣ for three of a kind, but could not beat the full house of Morariu as he tabled 7♥7♦.

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Min So opened from the cutoff to 800 and Manuel Reyes defended the big blind.

Reyes bet to 1,300 on the 9♠Q♥10♦ flop. So called.

The 9♦ turn saw Reyes bet again to 5,000. So didn't go anywhere and made another call.

Reyes moved 8,000 into the middle on the 2♦ river and got a quick call from So.

Reyes showed J♠8♦ for the straight which he had made on the flop, and So mucked his hand.

Ali Ayub commented "Nice hand," and the pair shared some table talk, with Ayub recalling how only a few hands earlier in the tournament Reyes had won another big pot having flopped the best hand.
