Naves Doubles Through Hesse

Liam Gannon

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

Peter Gurney raised to 3,500 in first position and Stephen Hesse called on the button. In the small blind, Tauan Naves moved all in for 33,500 and Lauren Bunch in the big blind pondered her decision for a bit before folding. Gurney folded and Hesse called to put Naves at risk.

Tauan Naves: Q♣Q♠ All in
Stephen Hesse: J♥J♦

The board ran out 3♠7♥9♣3♦Q♥ and the queens full was good for Naves to double up at the expense of Hesse.

David Salituro

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

Nancy Stokes and Alvaro Puchol saw a flop of 5♦10♦J♣ when Stokes bet 11,500 from the button. Alvaro Puchol then moved all in from the big blind and Stokes snap-called for her last 53,000.

Nancy Stokes: A♥J♠ All in
Alvaro Puchol: A♦8♦

Stokes was ahead with her top pair, but she needed to dodge Puchol's nut flush draw. The 8♥ turn gave Puchol more outs with a pair, but Stokes dodged the 5♠ river and doubled up.

It's Not a Bluff

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

Action was picked up with Nicholas Rigby with 9♦7♥ and Dimitrios Kilintaris 6♦5♦ engaged in a pot of 50,000 and a board of 6♥3♠7♦6♠.

Rigby had top pair but couldn't beat Kilintaris' trips on the turn. Rigby checked, and Kilintaris bet 25,000. Rigby, not believing that his opponent had the goods, said, "That's a bluff," then made the call.

The river 10♥ fell and Kilintaris, after a check, shoved all-in for 66,500. Rigby called just to see that Kilintaris did have the goods.

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

Ludovic Poullet raised from middle position to 3,000 and found a call from Tabatha Hilliard in the small blind. Daniel Negreanu in the big blind then three-bet to 10,000. Poullet called, and Hilliard folded.

The flop came A♣10♦7♠ and both players checked to see the K♦ peel off on the turn. Negreanu led out for 10,000, and Poullet snap-folded.

Negreanu showed KxKx for a turned set and scooped some much-needed chips.

Tabatha Hilliard	310,000 70,000	70,000
Ludovic Poullet	110,000 16,000	16,000

Yohan Rascar: 7♠7♦ All in
Chad Power: K♦K♣

The runout 6♥9♥ didn't help Rascar at all. Power scooped the pot as Rascar left the table.

Frank Visser

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

Serge Bottelli moved his last 10,500 in from under the gun, and he was looked up by Kevin Gundersen a few seats over.

Serge Bottelli: A♦5♦ All in
Kevin Gundersen: A♥Q♠

Gundersen flopped top pair on 4♦3♣Q♥, but Bottelli had a gutshot. It failed to come in on the A♣9♣ runout, however, sending Bottelli to the rail.
