"A Hand That Even Kessler Would Be Proud Of"

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
John Bunch
John Bunch

Brian Barker opened to 3,000 in the cutoff and was called by Gregory Sly on the button, John Bunch in the small blind, and Ja Sim in the big blind.

The flop rolled out A♦Q♣J♣ and action checked around to Sly who bet 6,000. Bunch raised to 18,000 which folded out Sim while Barker raised to 32,000. Sly moved all in for 38,000 and Bunch jammed all in over the top which saw Barker fold.

Gregory Sly: A♣J♠ All in
John Bunch: K♦10♣

Bunch had flopped Broadway up against Sly's top and bottom pair. The board ran out 9♠3♦ and Bunch's Broadway held up as the best hand while Sly was eliminated.

"That's a hand even Kessler would be proud of," said Bunch as he raked in the pot.

Assorted Post Dinner Counts in Horseshoe Red

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

No Aces Around Here

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Demetrios Petrou opened to 3,000 and then called a three-bet to 9,000 by Chad Burum. The two players ended up checking through the A♦9♥2♠7♦5♦ board and Burum asked "you don't have an ace, do you?"

That was at the exact moment when he exposed his Q♥Q♠ and it was good enough to scoop the pot, as Petrouo sent the cards into the muck.

Souriau Spikes the River

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Benjamin Souriau kicked the action from middle position, with a raise to 3,000. Adrian Mateos called from the cutoff, and Kyna England called on the button. When action got to Ruben Pinilla in the big blind, he put in a three-bet to 17,000. Souriau and Mateos called, but England folded.

Pinilla continued with a bet of 12,500 on the 3♥6♦5♣ flop, and both of his opponents made the call.

All three players checked the 8♣ turn, and the dealer added the river A♥ to the board.

Action checked round again, and Pinilla tabled J♠J♦. Souriau then revealed the river had improved him to top pair with his A♣J♣, and when Mateos mucked his hand, the pot was pushed in the direction of Souriau.

Columbia Drills the River to Double Through Kitamura

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Peter Columbia was already all in and at risk for approximately 25,000 from the cutoff against Asako Kitamura, who had Columbia covered from early position.

Peter Columbia: A♠J♥All in
Asako Kitamura: A♦K♣

Columbia found himself dominated, and the A♣Q♣3♣ flop and 9♦ turn left him with one foot out the door.

However, the J♠ river was just what Columbia needed — improving him to two pair for the dramatic double up.

Coussement Takes from Fewster

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Miguel Coussement opened to 3,000 from middle position and action folded around to Henry Fewster who defended the big blind.

The K♦7♠10♠ flop saw both check to the 3♠ turn.

Fewster checked, Coussement bet 4,000 and Fewster made the call.

The A♦ river prompted another check from Fewster. Coussement bet out 8,500 and Fewster folded.

Shahar Leads Into Table Leader

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Alon Shahar raised to 3,000 under the gun. Vinicius Camargo then three-bet to 9,000 in middle position, which Shahar called after it had folded back to him.

Camargo continued for another 9,000 on the 10♣6♦9♦ flop, and Shahar check-called. The A♣ turn prompted Shahar to lead out for 17,000.

Camargo took a final look at his cards before he gave up on the pot and tossed them into the muck.

Moscati Gets a Shove Through

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Alexis Kivu defended the big blind against an open raise by Vincent Moscati from under the gun and checked the Q♠5♦2♦ flop. Moscati continued for 2,500 and then called a check-raise to 6,000. The 5♥ turn was checked and the 2♥ river paired the board.

Once Kivu checked again, Moscati jammed his short stack and got it through.

Gerloff Sends Restovic to the Exit

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

All the chips went in the middle preflop between Tonci Restovic, who was at risk for a remaining stack around 22,000, holding A♦7♦, and Martin Gerloff who held 6♥6♠.

Restovic couldn't win the flip to survive as the board revealed K♣5♥K♥3♠3♥ and Gerloff took down the pot.

Most of the blue section in Horseshoe has been cleared out with the field down to just 1,815 players on Day 2. Some of the remaining tables include Phil Hellmuth and his son who have nearly identical chip counts and sitting at adjacent tables.
