Dyer Picks Off Back-to-Back Bluffs

Level 31 : 100,000/200,000, 100,000 ante
Michael Dyer
Michael Dyer

In the first hand Michael Dyer raised to 500,000 and Louis Salter defended his big blind. After Salter checked the {8-Clubs}{3-Spades}{9-Hearts} flop, Dyer continued for 450,000 and Salter made the call. Both players checked the {6-Hearts} turn and Salter led out on the {5-Spades} river for 700,000, which got an immediate call from Dyer. Salter tabled {k-Clubs}{q-Hearts} for king-high and Dyer tabled {10-Spades}{9-Diamonds} for top pair.

In the next hand, after calling a preflop raise from Dyer, Ben Farrell led from his big blind for 500,000 on the {10-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{9-Hearts} flop and was called by Dyer. After both players checked the {7-Spades} turn Farrell again led out on the {8-Clubs} river, this time for 1,200,000 and was almost beat into the pot by Dyer who quickly tabled {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}.

Michael Dyer raised to 450,000 under the gun and Michael Rocco three-bet all in for 4.25 million from the button. Both blinds folded and Dyer flicked in the one-chip call.

Michael Rocco: {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}

The board ran out {10-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{2-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} and Rocco doubled up.

Dyer Not Quite Done

Level 31 : 100,000/200,000, 100,000 ante

After doubling up his opponents in back-to-back hands it was Michael Dyer's turn to double up. He open-shoved his remaining chips, and after confirming the count of 2,275,000 Michael Rocco made the call.

Michael Dyer: {a-Spades}{9-Spades}
Michael Rocco: {a-Diamonds}{8-Spades}

Dyer was ahead, but by his own words he wasn't feeling too optimistic. The runout of {10-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{7-Clubs} probably made him feel a little better.

Rocco Takes Down A Big One

Level 32 : 125,000/250,000, 125,000 ante

In a headsup pot on a board of {9-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} and about 1,300,000 in the middle Michael Rocco bet 1,000,000 and was called by Louis Salter. The dealer fanned the {q-Clubs} on the river and Rocco used two hands to moved forward two stacks of T100,000 chips that totaled 3,400,000.

Salter went into the tank for a few moments, counted out the amount, thought about it some more and then made the call. Rocco tabled {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} for a rivered set of queens and Salter flashed the {j-Clubs} as he mucked his cards, which sent the huge pot to Rocco.

Level 32 : 125,000/250,000, 125,000 ante
Louis Salter
Louis Salter

With action on Louis Salter in the small blind he shoved all in and was snap-called by Ben Farrell from his big blind. The players tabled their hands and Salter saw that he was on the wrong end of a blind versus blind cooler.

Louis Salter: {a-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}
Ben Farrell: {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}

The runout of {q-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{4-Clubs} was of no help to Salter and he was eliminated in fourth place.

Dyer Doubles and Doesn't Know It

Level 32 : 125,000/250,000, 125,000 ante

Michael Dyer moved all in and was called by Michael Rocco. The two players tabled their hands and Dyer saw that he was behind and needed help.

Michael Dyer: {k-Spades}{q-Clubs}
Michael Rocco: {a-Spades}{j-Spades}

The board ran out {2-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{7-Clubs} and Dyer got up to leave because he thought Rocco's ace-high was good. It has been a long day of play and he missed the fact that he had rivered a four card flush to stay alive.
