Demlakian Pays it Off

Level 7 : 400/800, 100 ante

With over 15,000 already in the pot and the board showing {2-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{8-Spades} the players seated under the gun plus one fired out 15,000. Ken Demlakian was in middle position and deliberated over his decision for a minute.

He eventually called, then mucked instantly, when his opponent flipped over {q-Hearts}{q-Spades} for a full house and the winning hand.

All Over That Like a Fat Kid on a Cupcake

Level 7 : 400/800, 100 ante

With a board of {10-Spades}{5-Clubs}{3-Spades}{A-Hearts} on the turn, Michael O'Grady led out with a bet of 6,800. His opponent, Awerbuch called creating a pot of nearly 40,000.

"You're all over that ace like a fat kid on a cupcake," O'Grady said laughing.

The river was the {4-Spades} and O'Grady led again, putting out 12,000.

"Fuck me," Awerbuck said.

"I think I'm winning!" O'Grady said immediately after. "He's folding boys! You don't say 'fuck me' then call."

Awerbuch eventually did settle on a fold and O'Grady asked him if he wanted to see the hand.

"I've got the nuts," O'Grady said turning up {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} for a flopped set. And with that he took down the pot to chip up over 130,000. Awerbuch however was left with around 60,000.

O'Grady Lucky to Chop

Level 6 : 300/600, 50 ante

A player opened in early position to 1,300 and there was a three-bet to 4,200. Action folded around to the button where Michael O'Grady called. Action folded around so it was heads up to the flop.

The flop was {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{3-Hearts} and the three-bettor put out a bet of 2,500. O'Grady raised, making it 5,000 and the three-bettor called.

On the {J-Hearts} turn both players checked. The three bettor checked again on the {J-Diamonds} river and O'Grady looked like he might check too, but instead he put out a bet of 5,000. The three bettor called and showed his {A-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for two pair. O'Grady showed his {A-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} for two pair as well and the two chopped the pot.

"You're both lucky to chop there," Najeem Ajez said after the hand.

"Mine was suited!" O'Grady exclaimed.

Rubie Runs Into a Truck

Level 6 : 300/600, 50 ante
Brendon Rubie
Brendon Rubie

A player opened in early position to 1,200 and the player to her left called. Action folded to the big blind where Brendon Rubie called as well.

On the {K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} flop, action checked to the original raiser who put out a bet of 1,000. The next player folded. Rubie thought it over for a bit, then raised, making it 5,000. His opponent went all in for 525 more and Rubie quickly called.

Brendon Rubie: {J-Clubs}{10-Hearts}
Opponent: {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}

Rubie had less outs than he originally thought as his opponent was holding two of them herself. He bricked out as the turn was the {3-Diamonds} and the river was the {10-Clubs} so with that, Rubie was forced to send over roughly a quarter of his stack to his opponent.

Hiscox Triples Up

Level 6 : 300/600, 50 ante

A crowd had gathered around Table 10 after three players had managed to commit all their chips into the middle.

The board was showing {5-Spades}{4-Spades}{3-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} and there was already around 34,000 in the pot with a player all in.

Andy Hiscox had an additional 33,425 in front of him and was at risk against Kenn Langcake who had him covered.

Andy Hiscox: {k-Spades}{6-Spades}
Kenn Langcake: {4-Hearts}{4-Clubs}
Opponent: {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}

The river produced the {a-Spades} resulting in Hiscox running around in excitement after spiking the right river card to give him a flush and the winning hand.

Langcake was shortened after his flopped set couldn't hold and the other all-in player was sent packing even after making a set of aces on the river.

Ajez Recovers a Bit; Bullies Rochford

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

Action was three-way on a flop of {9-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} and first to act, Najeem Ajez checked over to Paul Rochford. Rochford put out a bet of 1,600 which prompted a fold from the other player in the hand. Ajez though took his time and check-raised, making it 5,700. Rochford thought it over then called.

The turn was the {3-Hearts} and Ajez didn't let off the gas. He put out a bet of 8,700. Rochford thought it over for about 30 seconds, but settled on a fold, allowing Ajez to recover some of his lost chips.
