Luthra Goes for the River Value

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

There was a middle position open by Bryan Robitaille-Fequet to 3,500 before it folded to Danesh Luthra in the cutoff who called and then the big blind defended.

The 9A5 flop landed and the action checked all the way to Luthra who put out a bet of 2,500. Only Robitaille-Fequet called on their way to a flush completing K.

The action slowed down and checked through to a 3 river. Robitaille-Fequet checked again before Luthra went for another bet of 4,200.

Robitaille-Fequet went into the tank for a moment but eventually flicked in a call. Luthra tabled K9 for two pair and Robitaille-Fequet mucked.

Raimondi at it Again

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

There was an under the gun open to 2,400 that got four calls from middle position, the button, Peter Raimondi in the small blind, and the big blind.

The A62 flop landed and the action checked all the way to the button who bet 6,500. Only Raimondi called.

The 6 rolled off on the turn and the action checked through to a 7 river. Raimondi checked again and the button bet 18,000. Raimondi took a moment and then moved all in having his opponent covered. The button called and got the bad news...it was a cooler.

Raimondi rolled over K8 for the nuts and the button tabled Q7 for the second nuts. Raimondi scooped and is still running pure

Trickey Wants Every Chip

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

There was an early position limp before middle position and the cutoff also limped. The button then raised to 5,500 before the small blind cold called and action was on Michael Trickey in the big blind.

There was hefty pile of dead money out there and some limpers left to act. Trickey thought for a moment and them moved all in for his last 29,000 with multiple players covering him.

One by one each players mucked till it got to the small blind. He sat in the tank for over a minute before finally finding a fold. Trickey didn't need to get tricky on this one. He just ripped it in and scooped it back. Easy game.

Raimondi's Opponents Want It All; He Comes Along for the Ride

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

Peter Raimondi opened under the gun to 1,600 before the action moved to the button who flat called. The small blind folded and then the big blind put in a three-bet to the tune of 6,100. Raimondi called and then the button back jammed for 28,000. The big blind then rejammed for 75,000. Raimondi thought for a moment and then put in the chips to put himself at risk.

The cards hit their backs.

Button: 88 All in
Peter Raimondi: 1010 All in
Big Blind: AQ

Raimondi was in the lead but needed to fade a lot to hold. The full board ran out KJ997 and Raimondi scooped a massive pot with his pair of tens after his opponents put on all the pressure.
