Hoppe Doubles Through McCormick to Take the Chip Lead

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Laura Hoppe
Laura Hoppe

Laura Hoppe raised to 60,000 from the hijack, and Austin McCormick three-bet to 160,000 on the button. Hoppe called after a minute in the tank.

The {q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} flop was checked by Hoppe, and McCormick bet 170,000. Hoppe called.

Hoppe checked again on the {5-Spades} turn, and McCormick fired another barrel, this time for 340,000. Hoppe called again.

The {4-Diamonds} hit the river, and Hoppe checked a third time. McCormick jammed, putting Hoppe to the test for her last 995,000. Hoppe tanked for a few minutes.

"Go big or go home, eh?" Hoppe said to McCormick. She called, and McCormick tabled {a-Hearts}{9-Clubs} for a triple-barrel bluff. Hoppe slammed down {a-Spades}{q-Hearts} for top pair, top kicker, and Hoppe, the start of the day short stack, now holds the chip lead with eight players left.

"That was a bad ass call, eh boys?" Hoppe added after the hand.

Cunningham Gets Lucky to Double Through Reeder

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Brent Cunningham
Brent Cunningham

Hand #1:

Brent Cunningham raised to 60,000 from the cutoff, and Brian Reeder three-bet to 175,000 from the button. Cunningham folded.

Hand #2:

The very next hand, Kyle Cartwright raised to 60,000 from middle position, and Cunningham three-bet shoved for 480,000 from the hijack. Reeder four-bet shoved for 1.3 million from the cutoff, and action folded back to Cartwright, who quickly folded.

Brent Cunningham: {k-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Brian Reeder: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}

Reeder's Big Slick held on the {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}{7-Clubs} flop, but the {q-Spades} turn left him shaking his head, as Cunningham peeled a three-outer to leave Reeder looking for an ace to earn the knockout. The {4-Clubs} on the river changed nothing, and Cunningham doubled up.
