Coughlin Takes from Yutuc

Laura Fryer
Laura Fryer
Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Neil Coughlin opened from under the gun to 600. Loyal Sprague called from middle position and Joseph Nordman called on the button, with George Yutuc also defending the big blind.

The 7♣9♦A♥ flop saw Yutuc check, and Coughlin bet 1,200. Action folded around to Yutuc who was the only caller.

The 6♣ turn was check-called by Yutuc, after Coughlin bet 2,000.

Both checked down the 5♠ river, with Yutuc saying "Nines," without showing his hand.

Coughlin showed A♠7♠ for two pair and scooped up the pot.

Ruan Check-Jams the River

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Dean Ruan from under the gun and Raymond Yee from middle position were heads-up to the turn with the board reading J♣4♦3♦6♥ with 3,500 in the middle. Ruan led for 2,700 before Yee raised to 8,100 and Ruan put in the call.

On the K♥ river, Ruan checked it over to Yee who bet a substantial 14,000 with 24,000 behind. Ruan did not take long before he announced all-in as the covering stack, forcing Yee to give up his hand after a small tank.

"First one with two green [25,000] chips!" joked a tablemate.

Ruan replied, "It's easy when you river top set."

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

With roughly 13,000 already in the middle and the board reading J♦J♥10♦2♥8♥, John Loveless led out for 5,000 as the first to act. Lucas Cortijo responded with a raise to 15,000, putting the pressure on.

Loveless went into the tank and took his time, but eventually gave it up. Cortijo then turned over 10♥10♠, revealing a full house to scoop the pot.

A Deuce is Good for Amer

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

The flop was 2♣A♠Q♦ when Marco Meisser on the button bet 800. Abdul Amer on the other side of the table check-called from the hijack.

Both players checked the Q♣ turn leading to the Q♥ river that they both checked again.

"You win?" Amer asked.

"I don't know," Meisser answered, while waiting for Amer to reveal his cards.

"Deuce," Amer added, while flipping over J♠2♠ for a full house. Meisser mucked his hand.

Esther Taylor made it 600 from the hijack and only Brian Rast called from the big blind.

Rast check-called a bet of 600 from Taylor on the K♦A♥3♥ flop.

The 10♠ turn checked through for the K♠ to roll off on the river. Rast led out for 700 and was met by a raise to 3,000 from Taylor. Rast instantly released his cards, and Taylor pulled in the pot.

Kings Early On for Stauffer

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

John Stauffer raised in middle position to 500, and was met by a three-bet to 1,200 by Peter Piorkowski on the button. Stauffer elected to call, and the players moved to a flop.

The dealer spread a J♦9♦6♣ flop, and Stauffer decided to go against the conventional flow of play, leading into his opponent with a bet of 2,200. Piorkowski made the call.

Stauffer executed the same strategy on the 8♣ turn, again putting out a bet of 2,200, and again, Piorkowski called.

The dealer then revealed the 9♠ river, and Stauffer bet once more — 3,300 was the amount Piorkowski would have to call to go to a showdown, and he did just that.

It was bad news for Piorkowski, though, as Stauffer showed K♠K♥, which was enough to claim the pot.

Deardorff Doubles Early

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Samyo Bounlom open-raised preflop from the cutoff, and Kristen Deardorff made it 2,000 on the button. Bounloom four-bet to 8,000, which Deardorff called.

Bounlom continued for 7,000 on the 5♥Q♦J♦ flop, and Deardorff called to the 8♥ turn. Bounlom slowed down and checked, seeing Deardorff fire a bet of 21,000.

Bounlom tossed in a calling chip for the 5♣ river to complete the board. Bounlom checked, and Deardorff shoved in her remaining 18,600. Bounlom's tank lasted for several minutes, but eventually he called off.

Deardorff tabled J♠J♥ for jacks-full, leaving the K♥K♣ of Bounlom in the dust. Deardorff doubled to a six-figure stack, while Bounloom still had over 100 big blinds to play with.

Paraskevas Tsokaridis bet 3,500 from the small blind on a flop of 5♥2♥3♠ and Samuel Bifarella called in the big blind. Ken Oberlieben then raised to 9,000 in early position and only Bifarella called.

Both players checked the A♦ turn. The 4♣ river put a straight on board, and Bifarella led out for 23,000. Oberlieben tanked for several minutes until folding as Bifarella took the pot.

Five Bets Preflop

After an early position open to 500, Leandro Dirlewanger three-bet on the button to 1,800. One seat to his left in the small blind, Leonardo Valenzuela put in a four-bet to 4,500. Action folded back to Dirlewanger, who responded with a five-bet to 11,500. Valenzuela opted to call, bringing an end to the preflop raising.

After a check by Valenzuela on the 7♠3♥J♥ flop, Dirlewanger continued with a bet of 5,000. Valenzuela called, and both players then chose to check the 2♥ turn.

The dealer then flipped over the 8♦ river, and Valenzuela decided he wanted all of it, moving all in for 49,500. This put Dirlewanger deep into the tank. "We could have the same hand", he said, "The red ones and the black ones". Valenzuela remained statuesque, though, giving nothing away.

Dirlewanger then apologized to the table for the amount of time he was taking. After a torturous few minutes for the Swiss player, he reluctantly released his cards back to the dealer.
