Cooler Flop Helps Hess Double

Tim Baker

Level 17 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

With the flop showing 3♠10♥7♠ and around 75,000 in the pot, Michael Campitelli checked from the big blind and Imre Makranyi jammed from middle position with the covering stack. Robert Hess was also in the hand from the hijack and quickly called for his remaining 171,000 chips. Campitelli folded, and the cards were turned over with Hess at risk.

Robert Hess: 10♠10♦ All in
Imre Makranyi: 10♣7♣

It was a cooler flop of top two pair versus top set. Makranyi was drawing dead after the 9♥ turn, making the K♠ river a mere formality as Hess doubled up.

William Dillon open-shoved in the cutoff for 26,00 and it folded around to Ron Cole in the big blind who took some time to think through his decision.

"Alright I'll call you," said Cole, flicking in the call.

William Dillon: K♥J♠ All in
Ron Cole: K♣8♣

"Yeah figured I only had one live card," he continued.

The board ran out 5♦6♠10♣Q♥J♦ and the pot was pushed Dillon's way.

Brian Shaw jammed from middle position for about 130,000 and David Cross made the call from the small blind with the covering stack.

Brian Shaw: Q♥Q♦ All in
David Cross: A♣K♣

Shaw's ladies fell behind on the K♠7♥6♠ flop as Cross improved to top pair.

No help came for Shaw on the 9♠ turn, or 4♦ river, and all of his chips were sent over to Cross.

Steven Shields opened under the gun to 12,000 and got a call from Kinesh Pather on the button and Dean Rutledge in the big blind.

The dealer revealed the flop 6♠J♥7♥.

All three players checked to the turn 5♠. Rutledge bet 18,000 to see the river 9♥, Shields decided to move away, while Pather called.

Both players checked for the showdown. Kinesh Pather showed Q♠10♠, which were not good enough against the K♣4♦ of Rutledge.
