Trickett Claims He Can't Beat Anything

From the hijack seat, Philipp Gruissem raised to 4,000. Sam Trickett called from the big blind to take an {A-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{3-Diamonds} flop. Trickett checked, Gruissem bet 5,000, and Trickett called.

The turn was the {5-Clubs}, and Trickett check-called another bet from Gruissem, this time for 14,000.

The river was the {J-Spades}, and Trickett checked with 62,200 left in chips. Gruissem fired a giant stack of T5,000 gray chips to put Trickett all in, and that sent Trickett into the tank.

After tanking for a minute or two, Trickett said, "I can't beat anything," and showed {K-Diamonds} before folding.

Huge Double For Julius

Jason Mercier opened to 4,000 from early position and was called by Sam Cohen as well as Kyle Julius from the small blind and the player in the big blind.

The flop came {5-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{6-Hearts} and there were three checks to Cohen. She fired 7,700 and Julius raised to 17,000. The big blind got out of the way and Mercier joined him by throwing his cards to the muck.

The turn was the {7-Hearts} and Julius bet 9,500. Cohen called and the {4-Hearts} river put a straight on the board. Julius moved all in for 67,000 and after about a minute Cohen announced a call.

Julius showed {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} for a higher straight than on the board and Cohen threw away her hand. Julius is now sitting on roughly 212,000 in chips.

Beware of Cheung

Liv Boeree opened for 4,500 under the gun and received a call from October Niner Jesse Sylvia, who had chipped up considerably since the last time we check in with him. Fung Cheung, who had just moved from another table a few hands before, then came in with a three-bet to 20,000 from the small blind.

As the big blind was considering his action, another player started chatting up Cheung, who has been known to hang out with Phil Ivey. When asked where she learned to play poker, Cheung simply said, "Macau." When asked for how long, she whispered, "Long time."

The Macau games are the stuff of legends in the poker world, and it's possible the other players found the newly revealed information a bit intimidating as one by one they folded. Appropriately, Cheung revealed {A-Spades}{A-Clubs} before sending her cards to the muck.

The river was the {Q-Diamonds} to pair the board, which prompted Julius to lead for 15,000. Mercier called.

Julius tabled the {K-Hearts}{Q-Spades} for a full house, and Mercier mucked his hand.
