Hickman Moves in the Right Direction

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Stewart Morrison

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

Adam Rude opened in early position to 3,500, which the player in the small blind called. Douglas Hickman then moved all in from the big blind for 34,000. Rude called, and the small blind player folded.

Douglas Hickman: A♦A♣ All in
Adam Rude: 10♦10♣

The flop came a monotone 6♣Q♣4♣, but as both players held a club in their hand, the flush draw was irrelevant.

The turn 4♥ left Rude with one opportunity to find one of his two available outs, but the river J♦ was no help, requiring him to pay Hickman his double-up.

Barbero Forces a Fold from Lee

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Gaelle Jaudon

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

In a heads-up raised pot, the flop read A♥8♦7♦ when Gustavo Barbero checked in the big blind to Jao Lee on the button who bet 3,500. Barbero called.

When the 6♠ landed on the turn, Barbero check-raised to 22,000 a bet of 8,000 from Lee. The latter tanked for a minute and called.

The river was the 10♥ and Barbero thought about his move before shoving, putting Lee at risk. Lee ended up folding his hand.

Johnson Falls To Wolter

Liam Gannon

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Marco Johnson raised to 4,000 in middle position and in the cutoff, Jonathan Wolter three-bet to 13,000. Action folded back around Johnson who contemplated his decision. Wolter called the clock on Johnson and shortly after it was called, Johnson moved all in for 181,000 which Wolter called.

Marco Johnson: Q♥Q♦ All in
Jonathan Wolter: A♣K♣

The board ran out 3♠K♦9♠K♥10♣ and the ace-king paired up with board to send to pot to Wolter and the two-time WSOP bracelet winner exited the tournament.
