Raises Gone Wrong

Jacob Wilson

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Todd Bales slid in a single 1,000 denomination chip from middle position, signifying a call. He pleaded to the dealer, saying that he announced a raise, but the decision was unchanged, allowing cutoff Jeffrey Muncy, button Angela Defoe, and small blind Jerry Lim all to come along. Big blind Jordan Siegel checked his option.

The flop 3♦A♠4♥ brought in checks from all players, leading the dealer to put out the K♠ turn. Here, Siegel opted to lead out for 1,000, and only Bales made the call. He bet out again for 4,000 on the J♦ river, and Bales called again, showing K♦J♥ for a backdoor two pair. However, Siegel's flopped straight with 5♣2♣ took home the pot. "Wouldn't have called that for a thousand," sighed Bales. "Probably not," replied Siegel

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Richard Dubini raised to 1,000 first to act and was three-bet to 2,200 by William Schuch from middle position. Carlos Guerrero called cold on the button and Ryan Leng called cold as well from the small blind. Dubini then made it 8,000 to go, which got a fold from Schuch and Guerrero and a call from Leng.

Leng and Dubini proceeded to check down on the 3♠6♠3♥ flop, 7♣ turn, and 10♥ river.

Leng turned over Q♠Q♦ and Dubini showed he held A♦K♠ before sending them into the muck.

Under the gun, Adrien Guyader checked the 8♠9♣A♥7♣ turn over to Jessica Teusl in the next seat over. Teusl fired 4,000 into the pot of 3,300, which Guyader called after some thought.

The 6♦ arrived on the river, and Guyader quickly led out for 3,500. Teusl made an almost instantenous fold as the pot was shipped to the Frenchman.

Picking up the action on a 5♦7♦2♦9♥ turn, Sanjay Lal checked from the hijack to Lawrence Lipman on the button. Lipman promptly shoved all in for 18,400, a slight over-bet to the pot of 16,000.

After a few minutes in the tank, Lal called off to put Lipman at risk of an early elimination.

Lawrence Lipman: A♦7♠ All in
