Luo Gets Value With a Straight

Tim Baker

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Xixiang Luo bet 20,000 out of the big blind on a board of 8♦J♦6♣J♥, and Dario Alioto called from the button.

Luo was quick to bet 42,000 upon seeing the 9♥ roll off on the river. Alioto tossed in one chip to indicate a call, but then was forced to match the full bet after seeing Luo's rivered straight holding A♦7♠9♠5♠.

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Michael Mizrahi won a poker tournament at Wynn Las Vegas on Sunday night while the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event played down to a final table.

The tournament, one of the last in the Wynn Summer Classic, was a $600 No-Limit Hold'em event that attracted 137 entries, creating a prize pool of $70,555. Mizrahi collected $19,049 after beating Rodruigo Cella heads-up.

You might be scratching your head trying to figure out how "The Grinder" played for 13 hours at Horseshoe in the WSOP Main Event and won a tournament at Wynn on the same day. Alex Foxen double-dipped earlier this summer in WSOP and Wynn events, and he even cashed in both at the same time.

Following a raise to 10,000 from Corey Wright on the button, Kyle Knecht potted it to 34,000 in the small blind, leaving just 23,000 behind. Wright made the call, then called again when Knecht shoved on the Q♠10♦J♦ flop.

Kyle Knecht: A♥A♦Q♦3♦ All in
Corey Wright: K♣Q♣5♦5♣

Knecht had flopped a Royal Draw, and improved to Broadway on the K♠ turn. He held against Wright's outs on the brick 2♠ river to get him the double.

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Scott Seiver made it 14,000 under the gun only to be three-bet to 48,000 by Xiaochuan Zhang on the button. When it got back to Seiver, he called with around 120,000 remaining in his stack.

Seiver and Zhang checked to the river on a board of K♣Q♣5♣J♦6♠ before Seiver bet 80,000. After a few moments of deliberation, Zhang called and was shown K♥10♥9♦8♦ for a straight by Seiver. Zhang mucked, and Seiver dragged in the pot.

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Christian Harder got it all in preflop for just 22,000 in the big blind. David Diaz in the cutoff made the call.

Christian Harder: A♣Q♦5♠2♣ All in
David Diaz: A♥5♥8♠7♦

Harder was ahead the whole way, and seemed unbeatable on the 2♦4♠Q♣ flop. The 6♣ turn brought in plenty of extra outs for his opponent, but the A♠ meant top two would see him double.

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Jared Ingles limped from the cutoff before Georgios Tsoupras raised to 23,000 from the button. Phil Hellmuth, who was sitting in the small blind, agonizingly folded his cards. Ingles limp-raised to 77,000, and Tsoupras jammed. Ingles called for his 98,000 total and the cards were turned over.

Jared Ingles: K♥K♣Q♥J♣ All in
Georgios Tsoupras: A♥10♠8♥7♠

Ingles flopped top set on the K♠9♣8♣ flop, while Tsoupras had a straight draw. The 7♥ turn and 4♠ river didn't help Tsoupras, and Ingles pulled in the pot.

Player	Chips	Progress
Jared Ingles	205,000 66,000	66,000
Georgios Tsoupras	180,000 226,000	226,000

Leif Force: K♠Q♣10♠8♥ All in

Luo Makes the Right Call

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

On the turn of a board that showed 4♥J♥6♦2♦ and with around 95,000 in the middle, Malik Hanna jammed for 72,000 from the big blind and the action was on Xixiang Luo. Luo was seated on the button and was visibly distressed by the spot he was in. After a short, intense stare down, Luo made the call to put Hanna at risk.

Malik Hanna: K♥K♠4♣2♥ All in
Xixiang Luo: J♦9♠8♠2♣

Both players had two pair, but Luo's was better. Hanna had a flush draw and some other cards he could hit to win the pot. However, the dealer dropped the A♣ on the river, keeping Luo's jacks and deuces ahead, and Hanna headed to the rail.
