Owen Flops Set in Four-Way Pot

Frank Visser

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

James Minghini raised to 2,500 in early position. Keith Carter called in middle position, as did poker vlogger Brad Owen on the button. Joshua Mccully defended his big blind, and he led out for 2,800 on the 6♥2♦4♥ flop.

Minghini tossed in a call, after which Carter folded. Owen also came along to the 10♣ turn, which was checked to him. Owen fired a bet of 14,000, which only Mccully called.

Owen sized up to 30,000 on the A♣ river.

"Oh, Bradley," Mccully sighed as he went deep into the tank. After a couple of minutes, he called off. Owen revealed 6♦6♣ for a set of sixes, and Mccully quickly added his cards to the muck.

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

Antoine Labat raised it up from early position and was called by Jordan Rapoport on his left, Ryan Garcia on the button and David Szymanski in the big blind. The flop came A♣8♥6♠ and Labat continued with a bet of 3,000. Rapoport raised to 8,000 and Garcia flat-called. Szymanski and Labat both got out of the way.

The turn brought the 4♠ and Rapoport sized up another bet of 18,000. Garcia still called and the K♣ completed the board. Rapoport eyed up his opponent's stack before flicking in a bet of 25,000. Garcia matched him and Rapoport turned over 6♣6♦ for a set of sixes which Garcia could not beat.

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

Andrew Rosen picked up Q♠J♠ in middle position and opened to 2,500, getting a call from Andres Carrera in the big blind with A♥5♦.

The 2♠3♥J♣ flop brought top pair for Rosen, who continued for 2,200 after Carreramesa checked. Carrera stuck around with a gutshot.

When the 3♠ landed on the river, completing Rosen’s flush, Carrera led out for 3,000. Rosen responded with a raise to 11,500, and after some thought, Carrera let go of his top pair. Rosen dragged in a nicely sized pot.

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

Francisco Trujillo was already all in and at risk for 26,300 total from the small blind against Gus Hansen, who had Trujillo covered on the button.

Francisco Trujillo: A♠9♠ All in
Gus Hansen: J♠J♣

The 6♣10♣K♠ flop and 4♣ turn looked good for Hansen and bleak for Trujillo, but the A♦ river paired Trujillo's ace at the last possible moment — awarding him the double up through Hansen.

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

Heitor Saraiva raised to 2,500 in late position and Jonathan Tamayo called on the button which saw Bryan Buonocore call in the big blind.

Buonocore checked the 6♦ river over to Tamayo who moved all in for 16,800 effective. After some thought he tossed his cards into the muck, ceding the pot to the defending WSOP Main Event champion.

On a completed board of 7♠5♦Q♦4♣2♣ and with roughly 25,000 in the pot, Hyunsick Jang bet 22,000 from the big blind with Khoi Nguyen calling from middle position. Christopher Annouza was also in the hand from the cutoff and went into the tank. After thinking for over a minute, Annouza put in the call.

Jang showed the nut straight with 8♠6♠ to win the pot, as both of his opponents returned their cards face down to the dealer.

Alex Lindop raised from under the gun. Huck Seed, the 1996 main event champion, moved all in from the small blind with his last 8,000 or so chips. Lindop made the call.

Huck Seed: A♠Q♣ All in
Alex Lindop: A♣A♥

Seed needed significant help and almost got it from a runout 7♣3♥10♣J♦5♣ that gave him a gutshot straight draw on the turn. It didn't get there and his main event is over.
