Jesse Chinni Feeling Good at Dinner Break

Level 6 : 200/400, 0 ante

With a stack of 94,000, Jesse Chinni says that there "won't be many players above him" in the chip counts.

Chinni has been a big stack for a while and we asked him whether there was a big pot or just a steady accumulation.

"I won a big hand with the worst flush possible.

"I bet big on the river and he called with I think the nut flush but he didn't show.

"I've been playing pretty much everything since I got here ten days ago."

A short while earlier, we saw Men Nguyen bet 2,300 on a {j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{j-Clubs} board and get shoved on. Nguyen folded.

We picked up the action later on a {k-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} board with three players in the hand. It had checked to Nguyen who moved all in for 4,200. The second player tanked so long that the clock was called on him before he eventually folded.

The third player in the hand asked for a count before calling.

Nguyen showed {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{5-Clubs}, sliding the two diamonds forward for a flush.

His opponent showed {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{7-Spades}.

"I had king-five for two pair as well," he said as the dealer pushed him the pot.

The player under the gun opened with a raise to 800, the cutoff called, three-time bracelet winner Rep Porter called from the button, and both blinds called as well.

The flop came {J-Spades}{10-Hearts}{10-Clubs} and action checked to Porter who bet 1,800. The blinds folded, the preflop raiser called, and the cutoff folded.

The turn brought the {3-Spades} and the under-the-gun player checked. Porter bet 2,600 and his opponent called.

The river was the {3-Hearts} and Porter's opponent checked. Porter bet 3,000, his opponent folded, and Porter took the pot.

Jordan Polk Wins "Sick" Pot With Aces

Level 5 : 150/300, 0 ante

The board was {j-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{9-Spades} and the pot was around 17,000. Jordan Polk was first to act and he announced pot, putting his opponent all in.

They got to their feet and put a foot up on their chair, really agonising over their decision. Eventually, they called.

Polk tabled {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{5-Spades} for a full house, aces full of jacks.

"Aces?" asked his opponent. "Sick." He showed {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{4-Spades} for a smaller full house, queens full of jacks, but also with the final ace in the deck.
