One For Lombardo

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

John Lombardo opened with a raise to 3,600 from early position. Suzy Khoueis called from the next seat over. The player in the cutoff called as did the player in the small blind.

The flop was {Q-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} and action checked to Lombardo who bet 6,500. Khoueis folded as did the cutoff and small blind so Lombardo earned the pot.

"I can't believe I flatted you with this hand," Kohueis said. "I had ace-king."

"I wasn't bluffing," Lombardo said after the hand.

Big Hit For the Defending Champ

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Tim Mitchell
Tim Mitchell

A player opened in early position with a raise to 3,200. One player called in middle position and Tim Mitchell called in the cutoff. Daniel Laidlaw also called from the big blind so it was four-ways to a flop.

The flop was {5-Spades}{4-Hearts}{2-Spades} and action checked to Mitchell who put out a bet of 7,200. Laidlaw then check-raised, making it 18,000 from the big blind. The original raiser and middle position player both folded and it was back on Mitchell who immediately put forward a stack of chips, raising to 122,200. It was enough to put Laidlaw all in and he dropped into the tank. After about 2 minutes, Laidlaw called, putting himself at risk for 96,700 total.

Daniel Laidlaw: {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}
Tim Mitchell: {A-Spades}{Q-Spades}

Mitchell had about half the deck as outs against Laidlaw's hand but the turn was the {7-Hearts} and the river was the {9-Diamonds}, meaning that he would not catch up. Mitchell sent over most of his chips to Laidlaw who doubled to over 200,000 chips.

Lee Blasts Three Streets but Spear Hero Calls

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Jason Spear
Jason Spear

Action was on the flop between Jason Spear and Hannah Lee and the board was {10-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{2-Spades}. Spear was first to act and he checked over to Lee who put out a bet of 6,500. Spear called creating a pot of right around 30,000.

The turn was the {6-Hearts} and Spear checked for a second time. Lee then put out a bet of 23,000. Spear tanked for a bit, then called.

On the {6-Diamonds} river, Spear checked a third time. Lee now put out a monster bet, making it 40,000. Spear didn't think for too long before calling. Lee tabled her {K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} for king-high, but Spear made the call with {A-Spades}{Q-Spades} for ace-high and his hero call would earn him a massive pot.

Conomos Shoves on Hahn

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

There was right around 4,000 in the pot after preflop action between Michael Hahn and John Conomos. The flop was {9-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{4-Hearts} and Conomos lead out with a bet of 2,000. Hahn then raised, making it 7,800 and Conomos called.

The turn was the {7-Hearts} and Conomos checked. Hahn put out a bet of 16,700. Conomos thought for a while, then moved all in for roughly 56,000 total. . Hahn dropped into the tank and thought for a couple of minutes, but eventually folded, so Conomos took down the pot.

Yesterday, Conomos earned a victory in the $550 Pot-Limit Omaha Event, taking down $27,370 and his first World Series of Poker ring. He'll look to improve upon that performance with another good run here in this event.
