Quads Over Quads for Dicarlo

Level 7 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Sal Dicarlo
Sal Dicarlo

Sal Dicarlo got his 11,700 chips in preflop and was up against two other players.

Sal Dicarlo: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
Opponent: {j-Hearts}{j-Spades}
Opponent: {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}

The board ran out {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{4-Clubs}, and although one opponent made quad jacks, Dicarlo's quad kings took the main pot, while the other player took the side pot to stay alive as a consolation prize.

"Made quads and broke even," someone at the table noted to the winner of the side pot.

Kade Climbing

Level 7 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Vanessa Kade in the cutoff was in a heads-up pot against the big blind on a board of {9-Spades}{4-Spades}{9-Clubs}.

The big blind bet 7,500 on the flop and Kade called. The player then checked on the {q-Spades} turn and Kade quickly checked back.

The river brought the {5-Clubs} and the opponent fired for 12,500, leaving himself only about 5,000 behind. Kade put out a stack of pink chips for a raise and the opponent folded.

Ball Makes Correct Read

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Scott Ball was in the big blind in a heads-up pot against Anton Wigg in early position on a board of {4-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{5-Hearts} that checked through on the flop.

Ball checked on the {6-Clubs} turn and called a bet of 3,500 from Wigg, who stared blankly behind jet black Prada sunglasses.

"I've got a live read," Ball told the table.

Ball checked again on the {k-Diamonds} river and his opponent bet 6,000. Ball called.

Wigg showed ace-high with {a-Clubs}{8-Clubs}, which was no good against the {7-Clubs}{6-Spades} of Ball for a pair of sixes.

McKellar Cracks Aces to Double

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Pierce McKellar ended up getting his 51,900 chips in from the cutoff and was at risk against a middle position opponent.

Pierce McKellar: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}
Opponent: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}

McKellar ran his big slick into rockets and needed help, and the {q-Spades}{j-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} flop did just that, while his opponent let out sounds of disbelief. The {5-Hearts} and {7-Hearts} completed the board to confirm McKellar's double with Broadway, and his opponent's aces were cracked.

Ho Eliminated

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

A player in middle position opened to 2,300 and Maria Ho three-bet shoved a stack of around 20,000 from the cutoff. The action folded back to the middle position player, who entered the tank before eventually calling with Ho covered.

Maria Ho: {k-Clubs}{9-Clubs}
Opponent: {a-Hearts}{5-Hearts}

The flop of {6-Clubs}{2-Spades}{j-Clubs} gave Ho hope with a flush draw, but the board finished out {4-Hearts}{6-Hearts} and she was eliminated from the tournament.

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

With roughly 20,000 in the pot and a board reading {a-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}, Andrew Lichtenberger bet 6,300 in early position and the button called. Both players checked the {a-Spades} river.

Lichtenberger revealed {9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} for a flush which was good for the pot as his opponent mucked.
