Once Upon a Pot

Christian Zetzsche

Level 16 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Arthur Morris raised to 280,000 and Nick Schulman repotted from the cutoff to force folds all around.

The next open raise by Morris was "all the way up" on the button, which meant another pot-sized raise to 280,000. Christopher Frank in the small blind reraised the pot to 920,000 and Morris declared all-in within a split second. During that very small window, Frank had already thrown his cards into the muck for a snap-fold.

Ribeiro Busts Parssinen

Erick Torres

Level 16 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Eelis Parssinen began the action with a raise to 280,000 from under the gun. Tomas Ribeiro called from the big blind.

Ribeiro put enough chips in on the flop of 8♠K♠J♥ to put Parssinen all in. Parssinen called off the rest of his stack to be at risk.

Eelis Parssinen: Q♣J♠10♠8♣ All in
Tomas Ribeiro: K♣J♦9♦7♠

Ribeiro had the best hand with two pair, but Parssinen was running thick with outs as he had flush and straight draws.

Parssinen was unable to find any of the cards he needed as the 3♦ turn and the 5♥ river were blanks to end in his demise.

Level 16 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Shaun Deeb raised to 280,000, and Lou Garza moved all in for 740,000. Action folded to Deeb, and he made the call.

Lou Garza: A♠A♦4♣3♥ All in
Shaun Deeb: A♣8♥3♣2♠

The board came out A♥J♦9♠J♠9♦, so Garza was able to survive this all in.

Level 16 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Aaron Katz limped from middle position with Phil Ivey completing from the small blind, and Lou Garza checking out of the big blind.

Erick Torres

Level 16 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Approximately 600,000 was in the pot when Maxi Lehmanski bet on the 10♥8♣5♣J♣ board. Isaac Haxton opted to play for more chips as he raised to 375,000. Lehmanski responded with a raise of his own to 650,000. Haxton gave it some thought before he called to send the duo to a river.

Lehmanski did not slow down on the Q♠ river as he announced all in. Haxton did not think long before he chose to fold to end the hand.

Level 16 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Arthur Morris raised to 210,000 two times in quick succession. He earned the blinds the first time and was then called by Sean Rafael in the big blind the second hand. Both checked the 10♥3♦2♣ flop and Rafael asked for the size of the pot on the 6♥ turn.

Once it was deemed to be 540,000, he bet 180,000 and Morris folded.
