Kempton Gets Through Traffic

Erick Torres

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

The hand picked up on the board that read 4♣3♦6♥ with approximately 13,500 already in the middle in a four-way pot.

David Chen, Daniel Negreanu, and Tobias Schwecht checked to Isaac Kempton on the button, who elected to be 3,000. All the remaining players called to stay in the hand to keep the hand going four ways.

All four players checked the 3♣ turn to bring the 9♠ river.

The table checked to Kempton, who put out a bet of 10,000. The other three players folded to award Kempton the pot.

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

With two players seeing a board of 6♠Q♠2♦ and around 12,000 in the middle Mike Matusow checked from the big blind and called a 3,000 bet from Alessio La Francesca who was under the gun.

Matusow led for 7,000 on the J♥ turn. La Francesca raised to 22,000 and Matusow called before both players checked the 6♦ river.

Mutusow showed A♠4♠ for just ace-high after missing the nut-flush draw. La Francesca mucked and Matusow took the pot.

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

The action folded to Jimmy Guerrero on the button, who moved all in for 52,000. The small blind folded, but Kristen Foxen called from the big blind.

Foxen only had 23,500 in her stack and, as such, was the player at risk.

Kristen Foxen: J♦J♣ All in
Jimmy Guerrero: A♣Q♥

There was no help for Guerrero on the 6♣3♥K♠6♦9♥ runout, and Foxen was awarded the double up.

Quads for Lindgren

Stewart Morrison

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

The action was joined as Albert Nguyen and Erick Lindgren were already on the river in a substantially large pot.

With roughly 80,000 already in the middle, action was on Nguyen with a board showing 8♦8♠9♣J♥Q♥.

Nguyen attempted to put Lindgren under pressure by moving all in, covering his opponent's stack.

Lindgren called straight away, though, and revealed that he had flopped quads with his 8♥8♣. Nguyen attempted to muck his cards but was forced to turn them over as it was an all-in pot. The dealer flipped them over, showing A♣7♦.

Erick Lindgren	175,000 84,500	84,500

Albert Nguyen	129,000 84,500	84,500

Campos Stacks La Francesca

Erick Torres

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

Alessio La Francesca chose to shove for 44,500 on the button and was called in the next seat over Rui Campos in the small blind to be at risk for his tournament life.

Alessio La Francesca: A♥8♦ All in
Rui Campos: J♣J♦

La Francesca was in trouble against the pocket jacks of Campos.

The flop offered no solace for La Francesca as it came 10♠5♦4♥. The J♠ turn made it so he was drawing dead as the inconsequential 9♦ peeled on the river.

Ryan Lashmar

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

Alex Keating shoved for 22,000 from the hijack and Baoqiang Ho called from the button, leaving around 70,000 behind. Gregory Brown raised to 60,000 from the small blind, Ho shoved and Brown called with a covering stack.

Alex Keating: J♥10♣ All in
Baoqiang Ho: J♦J♠ All in
Gregory Brown: A♦Q♣

No players connected with the 8♠K♥6♦5♠5♣ runout. Ho was best with two pair, jacks and fives to eliminate Keating and drag in just over a full double-up.

Player	Chips	Progress
Gregory Brown	245,000 65,000	65,000
Baoqiang Ho	210,000 150,000	150,000

Mateos Building a Stack

Stewart Morrison

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

Adrian Mateos raised to 4,500 from the cutoff and only Pavel Plesuv called, defending his big blind.

The dealer spread a flop of Q♠9♠4♣ and Plesuv check-called a bet of 4,000.

The turn card added the 10♣ to the board, and when checked to, Mateos continued for 15,000. Again, Plesuv called.

Both players then checked the K♦ river. Plesuv flipped over 10♦8♣ for one pair, Mateos then revealed his Q♣6♣ for a superior pair, earning him the pot.
