Buckly Bubbles Ante Up Poker Tour Tampa Bay Downs Main Event

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Pat Buckley
Pat Buckley

On the money bubble, Leif Oskarsson raised to 16,000 from early position and Pat Buckley three-bet all in for 128,000 from the lojack. Mike Taylor then called from the small blind and Oskarsson thought long and hard before folding what he claimed were pocket tens.

Taylor: {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}
Buckley: {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

It was a big flip but Buckley needed to improve to stay alive. Unfortunately for him he couldn't as the board ran out {4-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}.

Buckley exited in 46th place and now the remaining players are guaranteed $405 in prize money.

Dedomenico Can't Fade a Two-Outer

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Joao Figueiredo limped in from middle position and Dan Dedomenico shoved all in for 40,000 in the small blind. The action was back on Figueiredo who made the call.

Joao Figueiredo: {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}
Dan Dedomenico: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}

Dedomenico had a sizeable lead heading to the flop, but with the {8-Clubs} in the window followed by {k-Diamonds} and the {6-Spades}, Figueiredo made a set of eights. The turn was the {7-Hearts} and the {6-Diamonds} on the river meant Dedomenico was eliminated.

Morvay's Bluff Gets Punished

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Anthony Dianaty raised to 15,000 from middle position and was called by Melissa Morvay in the hijack and Mike Minyard in the big blind. The flop came {5-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} and Minyard checked to Dianaty who continued for 18,000. Both Morvay and Minyard called.

The turn was the {5-Clubs} and Minyard and Dianaty both checked. Morvay tossed in a bet of 25,000 which got Minyard to fold but Dianaty called. The river was the {k-Diamonds} and Dianaty checked again. Morvay counted out a bet of 45,000 and Dianaty quickly called. Morvay tabled {2-}{2-} but Dianaty had one better with {a-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}.

Ivan Finds an Ace to Bust Andrade

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Saul Andrade moved all in for his last 17,000 from the hijack and Alex Ivan isolated by three-betting to 28,000 from the cutoff.

Andrade: {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}
Ivan: {a-Diamonds}{8-Spades}

Andrade was primed to double until the {a-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{q-Hearts} flop delivered Ivan an ace. The {A-Spades} turn made it trips, and Andrade was looking for a jack on the river to say alive. He didn't find one though as the {5-Spades} bricked instead.

Quirk Catches a Jack to Stay Alive

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Matt Quirk
Matt Quirk

Matt Quirk moved all in for 51,000 from early position and action folded around to Bill Melms, who called from the small blind.

Melms: {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Quirk: {k-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}

Quirk was behind but drawing to two live cards. He failed to find one on the {3-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{6-Clubs} flop but he did spike the turn when the {J-Spades} peeled off. The {3-Diamonds} river improved him to a full house and he was pushed the pot.

Booth Sent Packing

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Pat Booth raised it up to 13,000 in the cutoff and was called by Efim Koenner on the button along with Mike Taylor in the small blind. The flop came {7-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{4-Clubs} and Taylor checked to Booth who shoved all in for 70,000. Koenner asked for a count and then made the call while Taylor stepped aside.

Efim Koenner: {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs}
Pat Booth: {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

The turn brought the {5-Clubs} to give Koenner a flush and a lock on the hand. The insignificant {4-Spades} hit the river and Booth headed for the exit.
