Power Takes From Mercier

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Jason Mercier was in the hijack and raised to 3,400. Jacob Powers was in the cutoff and three-bet to 8,300. Mercier called.

The flop was {10-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{2-Spades} and Mercier checked. Powers fired out a bet of 12,300 and Mercier called.

The turn was the {6-Spades} and both players checked to the river which was the {5-Spades}.

Mercier checked and Powers quickly fired out a bet of 12,400. Mercier shook his head a bit, as if confused, and called. Powers tabled {k-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} for trip fives on the river and Mercier sent his cards into the muck.

Shebat Makes a Strong Read

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

As recounted by another player, Christopher Shebat was on the button and raised to 4,000. A player in the big blind called.

The flop was {a-}{9-}{3-} with two of them diamonds. The big blind checked and Shebat bet 3,000, the big blind called.

The turn was the {2-Hearts} and the big blind led out for 8,000. Shebat thought a moment and called.

The river was the {9-Clubs} and the big blind led again but for 23,000. Shebat took his time and evaluated, then called.

Big blind: {k-}{10-}
Christopher Shebat: {5-}{5-}

Shebat's pocket fives were good and his call makes a statement that he won't be pushed around.

Every Exit Hurts

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

There were two all-ins already and a third player was left to act and he too declared all in, putting his decent-enough stack at risk. He slammed his hole cards face up on the table though when he saw the hands he was up against, and continue a stream of invective directed at himself and the universe as the communal cards were dealt until the runner collected him for an escort to the payout desk.

Craig Mcdowell: {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}
Loukas Michael: {a-Spades}{5-Spades}
Opponent: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}

The board ran out {8-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}.

Even the short-stacked suited ace got there, and he was happy with his triple-up, though all remained quiet until the busted player left the scene.

Show Both

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

It’s not uncommon for a table in a tournament to agree to show one card at the end of a hand to add a bit of fun and added free information to the game.

One table though is playing “show both” at the end of a hand, so no more showing the weak kicker. The whole table has agreed and are enjoying the early stages of the game.

“Mister yellow jacket here is playing eight-ten,” one player said of the results. “So far it’s gone bluf- bluff.”

The player who suggested the game was joking that it had backfired on him as he couldn’t get involved on the action.

On the next hand though, four players went to a flop, and at the river of {k-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{7-Spades}{5-Clubs}, two remained with the original raiser showing {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds} and losing to {k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}.
