Big Stacks Next to Each Other

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Heidi May has just dragged a pot and was getting a little bit of teasing from another player. “You going to play tight now.”

There was no response from May as she was far too busy constructing a tower of chips.

Sat to her right and still top of the heap is Valentin Vornicu.

Griffin Benger
Griffin Benger

The 2016 November Niner, Griffin Benger, in the cutoff was all in for 24,900 in total. Victor Kim in the big blind took some time to think but eventually called.

Kim: {K-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}
Benger: {Q-Spades}{10-Spades}

The board ran out {2-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} with no help for Benger as Kim hit his flush and Benger is out.

Cards Must Be Shown All In & Call

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

There was an all-in and a call with the board at the river showing {5-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{j-Spades}{3-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}.

Aymon Hata tabled {q-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} and, as Shiguang Zeng couldn’t beat that, he was reluctant to show.

The rules state cards must be sown at WSOP for all-in and calls and Zeng turned over the losing {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs} and a portion of his stack.

Andrew Goes for Brokos

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Peter Lewis opened for 4,400 and Andrew Brokos called from the big blind.

The flop was {6-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{9-Clubs} and Brokos check-called a bet of 4,600 from Lewis.

The turn was the {k-Hearts} and a check from Brokos saw Lewis bet 10,500. Brokos then check-raised all in for around 50,000.

Lewis took a long time to think about it and eventually the clock was called. Time eventually ran out and the hand was folded. The pot went to Brokos with cards unseen.

Cameron Mcgovern Gets a Little Lucky

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Jimmie James opened the action but faced late position all-ins from first Jonathan Abdellatif and then Cameron Mcgovern. James mulled it over some, but let it go.

Abdellatif: {a-Spades}{j-Clubs}
Mcgovern: {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts}

“Good luck,” Mcgovern said to Abdellatif.

The board ran out {j-Spades}{8-Spades}{a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}.

All the luck was for Abdellatif as he hit a full house and James said he had folded ace-ten.

That earned a double-up for Abdellatif and Mcgovern was left with crumbs.
