Two More for Dicarlo

Jacob Wilson
Jacob Wilson
Level 43 : Blinds 2,000,000/4,000,000, 4,000,000 ante

Pierce Mckellar opted to limp in from the small blind holding Q♣8♣ and Salvatore Dicarlo checked his option from the big with 9♠7♦. On a flop of 4♠2♦5♣ Dicarlo bet out for 5,000,000 when checked to and Mckellar wasted no time in making the fold.

Dicarlo almost picked up the exact same hand the very next deal, as he limped in from with 9♠7♦. After Aaron Massey checked from the big blind with 5♥3♠, Dicarlo led out for 4,000,000 on the J♠7♥8♦ flop. For the second hand running, his opponent snap-folded.

Very shortly after doubling up Pierce Mckellar, Kevin Eyster moved all in for 9,000,000 from early position, holding 9♥6♥. Salvatore Dicarlo flatted from the cutoff with K♦9♦, and Richard Alsup did the same from the big blind with J♣7♠.

Action checked all the way through on the 4♣8♥Q♣K♠10♦ board, securing the elimination of the start of day chip leader, and sending even more chips in the direction of Dicarlo.

Pierce Mckellar

Pierce Mckellar shoved 40,000,000 from the cutoff, following a cutoff open from Kevin Eyster. Eyster made the call to put his opponent at risk, with not much behind.

Pierce Mckellar: Q♠Q♥ All in
Kevin Eyster: K♥Q♦

Mckellar was in a great spot as his opponent held just the one overcard. The 6♥6♣8♠4♥5♥ runout couldn't have been much cleaner, as Eyster was left with fumes.

Level 42 : 1,500,000/3,000,000, 3,000,000 ante

Pierce Mckellar was first to act, and raised it up to 6,500,000. This was enough to take down the blinds.

Salvatore Dicarlo then opened A♠8♠ the very next hand from under the gun, and Mckellar defended the big blind holding A♦10♣. He checked a flop of 9♣4♥Q♦ and Dicarlo continued for 4,500,000. Mckellar quickly folded.

Salvatore Dicarlo opened to 6,000,000 from the hijack, holding A♥3♥ for a suited ace. Matthew Miller flatted with 8♥8♣ on the button, and the blinds got out of the way.

Dicarlo took a commanding lead on the A♦J♦7♦ flop, and bet out for 4,500,000. Miller wasted no time in folding.

Level 42 : 1,500,000/3,000,000, 3,000,000 ante

Kevin Eyster raised to 6,000,000 from early position holding J♦8♦. Action folded to Salvatore Dicarlo in the cutoff, who slid in a three-bet to 14,000,000 with A♣4♣. It was enough for him to take down the pot and extend his chip lead over the table

Miller Makes a Flush

Level 42 : 1,500,000/3,000,000, 3,000,000 ante

John Ripnick opened from early position with A♦3♦, choosing 6,000,000 as his sizing. Action folded around to Matthew Miller in the big blind, who paid to see three holding 10♥5♥.

The A♥4♠Q♥ flop was checked by Miller, and Ripnick opted to tap the table too, despite hitting top pair. Miller then led out on the 7♥ turn after hitting his flush, and Ripnick called the bet of 4,500,000, which brought in the Q♣ river. Miller then fired out a full pot-sized bet of 25,500,000. Ripnick didn't take too long before making the fold.

John Ripnick opened the action with a raise to 6,000,000 from the cutoff, holding A♥A♣. Salvatore Dicarlo opted to defend his big blind with Q♥8♣, and the two went off to a flop of 3♠10♥10♦. Dicarlo check-folded to a 3,000,000 bet.

The very next hand, Richard Alsup made it 6,500,000 to go with A♣Q♦ from early position. Aaron Massey defended his big blind with 10♦8♦. He quickly mucked after Alsup continued for 6,000,000 on the 4♣Q♥J♦

Matthew Miller opened the action from the hijack to 6,000,000 with A♣Q♣. Only Pierce Mckellar called, who defended from the big blind, holding J♠10♣.

The 2♠4♦8♣ flop checked through, as did the 4♣ turn. The K♠ river was put out, and Mckellar check-folded to a bet of 8,500,000 from Miller.
