Hindman Flops Top Pair

Gabrielle Barredo
Gabrielle Barredo
Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Three players from cutoff to small blind limped the pot - Timothy Flattery, Casey Hindman, Omar Saeed, respectively. When action went to Cliff Josephy in the big blind, he said he didn't want to look like a fish by not defending with a raise. But then he checked his option and said, "There you all got what you wanted," evoking laughter at the table.

Both blinds checked the 8♣5♦A♠, prompting Flattery to fire 7,000. Hindman was the only one who called to see the turn.

The turn fell 3♥ and both players checked. On the river K♠, Flattery resumed action with a 10,000 bet. Hindman called.

Flattery immediately mucked his hand and HIndman took the pot after tabling A♦9♥ for top pair.

Mike Matusow open-jammed all in from the cutoff for 31,000 and was looked up by Ayman Qutami in the big blind who had Matusow covered.

Mike Matusow: A♥9♦ All in
Ayman Qutami: Q♥9♠

A mixed bag flop for Matusow of 4♥Q♦A♦ but when the A♠ peeled off on the turn he was safe. The 7♠ rolled off on the river to seal the deal and Matusow was shipped the pot for a double up.

The very next hand Matusow raised to 8,000 from the hijack and Paul Sokoloff called from the cutoff. Qutami sat in the small blind pumped it up to 21,000.

Action came back around to Matusow who moved all in, this time for 66,500. Sokoloff folded quickly and Qutami tanked for a while before he released his hand to send back-to-back pots to Matusow.

Three-way to the flop of 8♥3♥4♣ with 20,000 in the middle.

Joseph Casale jammed all in from the small blind for 27,000. Luke Graham got out of the way from early position and Joseph Hernon thought for a while from the hijack before he tossed in the call.

Joseph Casale: 3♣3♠ All in
Joseph Hernon: A♥4♥

Casale needed to dodge a X♥ to stay alive but when the 8♦ peeled off on the turn to fill him up it left Hernon drawing dead. An irrelevant X♥ did fall on the river but Casale's full house won him the pot.
