McSwiney Sends Warlow Out

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Joshua McSwiney
Joshua McSwiney

There were around 7,000 chips in the pot on a 9♠6♦Q♣ flop when Joshua McSwiney checked from under the gun and Louis Warlow bet 3,000 from the hijack. McSwiney then put in a check-raise to 13,500, before Warlow three-bet shoved for around 50,000. McSwiney didn't seem too impressed, but ultimately did make the call.

Louis Warlow: K♥Q♦ All in
Joshua McSwiney: Q♥9♥

McSwiney found himself in the lead, but had to dodge a few more outs when the A♦ hit the turn. Warlow had one shot to stay alive, but couldn't make it happen as the 7♥ filled out the board, which meant he was eliminated.

Rene Von Reden: A♦K♣ All in
Renmei Liu: A♣A♥

Liu had woken up with aces with a massive pot at stake. Vonreden got some outs on the K♠10♠7♠ flop with a pair, but he improved no further on the 9♦ turn and Q♠ river as Liu scored the knockout.

David Cabrera Polop raised to 2,700 in the cutoff and in the small blind, Ritvars Cekalins three-bet to 13,000 which saw Polop call.

The flop rolled out 8♠9♣Q♣ and Cekalins bet 9,000 to see Polop call.

Cekalins sized up to 32,500 on the turn 7♦ and Polop called once more.

On the river A♠, Cekalins bet again to the tune of 100,000 and Polop wasted little time in calling.

Polop tabled 8♥8♣ for a set of eights which was good for the pot against Cekalins K♠J♣ for just king-high.

Updated Chip Counts From Horseshoe Blue

Garza Catches a Set on the River

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

John Garza woke up to 8♦8♣ and raised to 2,600 under the gun. In late position, Collin Ball three-bet to 8,000 with A♥9♥. The flop dropped 2♦3♠6♥.

Both players checked, leading them to the 5♠ turn. Garza checked. Ball took his time before betting 9,000, sending Garza to think for few seconds before making the call.

The river 8♠ gave Garza a set which he checked. Ball checked after.

Bishop Two-Outers Yonnotti

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Joseph Bishop
Joseph Bishop

David Yonnotti and Joseph Bishop were the only two players contesting a pot, with 32,000 in the middle. They arrived to the turn with the board reading Q♥2♥3♦A♦ and Bishop had the all in button in front of him. Covered, Yonnotti had to make a decision for his tournament life, and he ultimately landed on a call.

David Yonnotti: A♥5♥ All in
Joseph Bishop: J♥10♥

Yonnotti had top pair, the nut flush draw, and a gutshot. Bishop had an inferior flush draw, but a better gutshot. That being said, only a non-heart king would give him the knockout. "You have me, good game, man," said Bishop, making what came next all the more painful. The K♣ peeled off on the river, as "Woah!" could be heard around the table. Yonnotti left gracefully, offering a "GG" to his table.
