Crites Gets There on the River

Myles Phago

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Gregory Baird raised to 30,000 from the cutoff and was looked up by Garrett Crites in the big blind.

On the J♣5♠Q♥ flop, Crites check-called Baird's 35,000 continuation-bet for the players to see the 3♣ peel off on the turn.

The action went check check, as it did on the 10♣ river.

Crites tabled K♦10♠ for a rivered third pair, which was good as Baird mucked his cards.

"I can never beat you in a pot", complained Baird, "Always when you are in the big blind!"

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Marc Rivera in the big blind, John Esposito in middle position, and Shannon Pearce in late had grown the pot to around 100,000 iwhen the flop dropped 3♦K♥6♣. All players checked.

The turn 4♥ fell and Rivera bet 40,000. Esposito replied with an all-in shove for 207,000. Peace got out of the way, and when action returned to him, Rivera called, taking to the ensuing showdown.

John Esposito: A♠A♥ All in
Marc Rivera: 7♦4♦

The river 7♠ was peeled evoking a groan of disgust on the table, and triggering Esposito to get on his feet and shout in frustration, asking PokerNews "Did you get that?"

As Esposito left the table, Peace admitted he held pocket sevens, then said, "That's how gnarly that was."

On another table, David Ha was eliminated
