Hopkins' Ace Not High Enough

Level 3 : 150/300, 0 ante

James Hopkins raised to 700 from middle position and was called in three spots.

All four players checked the {7-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{6-Spades} flop before the {j-Spades} dropped on the turn.

Hopkins bet out 2,200. Two opponents called.

The three then checked as the {2-Hearts} completed the board.

"Ace-high," announced Hopkins. Both his opponents tabled {a-Hearts}{j-Clubs} and {a-Spades}{j-Hearts} and split the pot after Hopkins mucked his hand.

O'Grady Sent to the Rail

Level 3 : 150/300, 0 ante
Michael O'Grady
Michael O'Grady

Michael O'Grady just recalled how he was eliminated from the field today.

In the first hand he was all in on the flop and had a pair with an up-and-down straight draw. His opponent was on a flush draw and got there to leave him with just 1,000 in chips.

The following hand O'Grady moved all in and was in front holding {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs} against his opponents {q-Hearts}{4-Hearts}.

The turn would drop a queen and that would be the end of O'Grady's day.

Butteroni Loses One

Level 3 : 150/300, 0 ante

The player under the gun plus one raised to 600 and was called by Antonis Kambouroglou in the cutoff, Federico Butteroni in the small blind and the player in the big blind.

The flop came {2-Spades}{4-Spades}{j-Hearts} and the blinds checked. The original raiser bet 1,600. Only Butteroni called.

The turn dropped the {4-Hearts} and Butteroni bet 1,800. His opponent called.

The {6-Clubs} completed the board and both players opted to check. Butteroni tabled {q-Spades}{j-Clubs} for two pair but it wasn't enough to take down the pot after his opponent showed {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds} for two-pair with the higher-kicker.

Rolfe Makes the Call

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

The board showed {j-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{7-Spades}{j-Hearts} and the player in the big blind bet 2,500 and was called by Matt Rolfe in middle position.

The {6-Hearts} dropped on the river and the big blind fired out 4,000.

"Really?" questioned Rolfe with a grin, before his focus turned serious as he stared at the board.

He eventually called and watched as his opponent reluctantly rolled over {10-Spades}{8-Diamonds} missing his straight.

Rolfe tabled his {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds} and took down the pot with two pair.
