David Lacchia - 5th Place
David Lacchia - 5th Place
David Lacchia got the remainder of his short stack in the middle before the flop vs. Jamie Pickering. It was a race situation.

Lacchia {6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}
Pickering {A-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}

The flop was {K-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{8-Spades}, putting Pickering in the lead. Lacchia could not catch another 6 on the {4-Diamonds} turn or the {2-Spades} river, and he shook each opponent's hand before heading to the cage to collect his $7,380 in winnings.

Jamie Pickering Makes a Good Read

Jamie Pickering raised from the button and Ivan Sop called from the big blind. The flop was {Q-Spades}{8-Hearts}{6-Hearts} and both players checked. The turn was the {10-Diamonds}. Sop bet 8,000 and Pickering called. The river was the {K-Diamonds}. Sop bet again and after a bit of a think, Pickering called. Sop turned over {A-Spades}{9-Hearts} for ace high, while Pickering tabled {A-Diamonds}{10-Spades} for a pair of tens and dragged in the pot.

Fear the Potter Check Raise

It was the battle of the blinds. James "Welcome Back" Potter raised from the small blind. James Pickering, who had the reputation of never folding his big blind, had called. The flop was {10-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{6-Spades}. Potter fired out 4,000. Pickering raised to 8,000 and Potter called. The turn was the {K-Clubs}. Potter checked. Pickering bet 8,000. Potter check-raised to 16,000. Pickering went into the tank for a minute before he called. The river was the {4-Diamonds} and Potter quickly bet 8,000. Pickering insta-folded.

Potter tabled his semi-bluff and exposed {Q-Clubs}{J-Clubs}.

James Potter 119,000
Jamie Pickering 114,000
Ivan Sop 98,000
David Lacchia 22,000

Jim Sachinidis opened for a raise from UTG, Simon Morris re-raised from the big blind, and Sachinidis called all in.

Sachinidis {J-Hearts}{9-Clubs}
Morris {Q-Hearts}{7-Hearts}

The flop was {J-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{3-Hearts}, giving the lead to Sachinidis, but the {Q-Spades} fell on the turn, pairing up Morris. The river was the {7-Clubs}, making Morris two pair and Sachinidis hit the rail in 6th place. He'll collect $6,150 for his finish.

David Lacchia Doubles Though James Potter

James Potter raised from UTG, David Lacchia three-bet all in from the big blind, and Potter called.

Potter {A-Clubs}{10-Hearts}
Lacchia {K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}

The flop was {J-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}, giving Lacchia a flush draw, and he hit it on the turn when the {8-Diamonds} fell, much to the dismay of James Potter. The river was the {4-Diamonds} and Lacchia doubled his short stack to 26,000.
