Alvarado vs. Watson vs. Jazayeri

Three players created a pot of about 4,000 and saw a flop of {5-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{8-Clubs}. Mike Watson was first to act in middle position and put out a bet of 1,700, which was called by AC Alvarado and Sean Jazayeri in the cutoff and button respectively.

Watson proceeded to slow down with a check on the {2-Diamonds} turn, which opened the door for the big-stacked Alvarado to bet 5,000. Jazayeri quickly got out of the way and Watson followed suit.

Ivey Drops Another

With 5,300 in the pot and a board reading {J-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{K-Clubs}, Phil Ivey checked to Elie Payan, who bet 2,800. Ivey made the call and then checked for a second time on the {4-Spades} river, prompting Payan to put out a bet of 7,200. Ivey thought for a few moments before making the call, but mucked when Payan rolled over {K-Spades}{Q-Spades} for two pair.

Losing to Ten High Not Such a Thrill for Failla

Will "The Thrill" Failla raised to 700 under the gun and was called by both blinds. Two checks on the {Q-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{A-Spades} flop put action on Failla, and he bet 1,525. Only Gael Duchesne called from the small blind and the {Q-Spades} turned.

Duchesne proceeded to check-call a bet of 2,000 before both players checked the {4-Clubs} river. Duchesne unconfidently showed {10-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for a missed flush, but it was good as Failla double-checked his cards and sent them to the muck. "I missed," Failla admitted with a "I-should-have-bet-the-river" look on his face.
