Wilson Choses Not to Bluff the River

Tim Baker

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Three players saw the dealer reveal a flop of 5♥Q♣8♥ where everyone checked for the 5♦ to appear on the turn. Peter Bobro checked from the small blind, but Brock Wilson led out for 4,000 from the big blind. Hiren Patel called on the button and Bobro folded.

The 2♦ landed on the river and both players checked. Wilson showed a busted draw with J♥9♥, and lost the pot to Patel's K♥8♠ for a pair of eights.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Frederik Thiemer raised to 2,000 in middle position and Lawrence Ross called in late position. MSPT regular Christopher Meyers raised to 6,000 in the cutoff and on the button, Yuchi Han raised to 15,000 to see only Meyers call.

Meyers check-called a bet of 9,000 on the flop of 9♦K♥J♠ from Han.

Both players checked the turn Q♠ to see the 4♦ river, and Meyers bet 32,500 to see Han call.

At showdown, Meyers turned over J♣J♦ for a set of jacks but Han pipped him by turning over Q♣Q♦ for a set of queens.

Frank Visser

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Picking up the action on a Q♠Q♦K♦3♥ turn, Sylwia Studniarz checked to Sergio Benso, who bet 6,200 into a pot of 12,000. Studniarz then raised to 18,000, and Benso called.

Studniarz tossed in 20,000 on the 2♦ river. Benso weighed his options for quite a while before he tossed in calling chips.

Studniarz sighed as she tabled A♥2♥ for bottom pair, which Benso beat with his 6♠6♥ to rake in the pot.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Saage Baptista was all-in for his final 13,400 from the cutoff, and was called by John Lombardo in middle position who put him at risk.

Saage Baptista: A♣J♦ All in
John Lombardo: 7♦7♣

It was a coinflip scenario as Baptista picked up outs on the 10♣9♣5♣ flop with the nut flush draw. Nothing changed on the K♥ turn before the 8♣ landed on the river to give Baptista the nut flush as he celebrated his survival with some fist bumps to his tablemates.

Jerome Solomon

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Maurice Hawkins raised to 3,000 in the cutoff. Andrew Edlin, seated next to Hawkins on the button, hesitated for a bit, then raised to 9,000.

Robert Holben, playing from the big blind, popped it to 22,000 chips with a four-bet.

Hawkins bowed out. Edlin went all in for 34,100. Holben called.

Andrew Edlin: A♥A♣ All in
Robert Holben: Q♥Q♦

The runout Q♣J♠10♦K♣3♥ was dramatic, with Holben flopping a set and Edlin turning a straight to save his aces from being cracked.

Shyam Srinivasan raised to 2,000 and was called by Joshua Abiscott and Andjelko Andrejevic in the blinds. The K♥Q♦Q♣ flop was checked and Abiscott also checked the 7♠ on the turn. Andrejevic bet 2,000 and picked up two calls.

On the A♠ river, Abiscott checked and Andrejevic bet 6,000. Srinivasan folded and Abiscott called to see his table neighbour Andrejevic muck and forfeit the pot.

The K♠7♥Q♣ flop was checked to see the 9♦ turn.

Raff and Caputo checked, Kamil bet 2,500, and only Caputo called.

Hansen Triples; Brewington Busts in Three-Way Clash

Dan O'Hair

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Three ways on a flop of K♣2♣Q♥, Carl Brewington and Gus Hansen were already all in against Luciano Sztulman, who had both players covered. Hansen had the smallest stack with a bit over 30,000, while Brewington had well over 100,000.

Gus Hansen: A♠K♥ All in
Carl Brewington: K♠Q♦ All in
Luciano Sztulman: A♣Q♣

Brewington had the best of it with two pair against Hansen's top pair and Sztulman's middle pair with a flush draw, but the 2♠A♥ runout paired both Sztulman's and Hansen's ace — leaving Hansen best with top two pair for the main pot while Sztulman took the side with aces and queens.

Luciano Sztulman	200,000 82,100	82,100
Gus Hansen	95,000 35,500	35,500

No One Has a Pair

Brett Slezak

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Action picked up three-ways to the turn with the board reading J♣8♠8♥7♠ as Youcef Zalagh led for 3,000 from the big blind. Hieu Le called in the cutoff, as did Stephen Zipprich on the button.

On the 7♣ river, the action checked around as Zalagh announced queen-high, Le announced ace-high, and Zipprich tabled his ace-high.

Hieu Le: A♠5♠
Stephen Zipprich: A♥10♣

Everyone made it to the river without connecting to the board directly, and the pot was chopped by the two ace-highs.
