Kevin Taylor

Blinds: 200/400

The action started with "acesfull1924" raising to 1,000. Both of the blinds would call, and the flop came down {10-Spades}{7-Hearts}{6-Clubs}. Action checked to Mark "NaigoPA" Foresta in the big blind, and he fired 800. "acesfull1924" called, only to see "MeeJEB" reraise to 2,400.

Only Foresta called that bet, and the {a-Clubs} hit the turn. "MeeJEB" fired 4,500, Foresta called, and the {9-Hearts} completed the board. "MeeJEB" fired 9,000, and Foresta called over half his stack, only to muck when "MeeJEB" showed {9-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} for a flopped straight.

Two Big Pairs in the Blinds

Blinds: 150/300

Action folded all the way around to "rwa0791", and they raised to 600. In the big blind, "Bubbarn50" reraised to 2,120. "rwa0791" called, and the flop ran down {9-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}. "rwa0791" checked, and "Bubbarn50" bet full pot, 4,560. "rwa0791" called, and the {3-Clubs} hit the turn.

Another check from "rwa0791" saw "Bubbarn50" move all in for 17,000 and change, and "rwa0791" called off their remaining stack with {j-Spades}{j-Clubs}. It was no good though, as "Bubbarn50" showed {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} for a better pair. The {9-Clubs} completed the board, giving "Bubbarn50" the knockout, and near double up.

Silks Secures a Double With Aces

Kevin Taylor
Kevin Taylor

Blinds: 100/200

"Paulie_Card$" raised to 500, and after one caller, Damien "DamienSilks" Silks three bet to 1,200. On the button, "googlenoagen" four bet to 2,984. One player called, but then Silks five bet shoved for 25,000 and change.

"googlenoagen" put him at risk holding {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}, but they were miles behind the pocket aces of Silks. The board came down {10-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{4-Spades}, and Silks held to secure a nice double up.

"KISHDOGG215" On Right Side of Cooler

Kevin Taylor

Blinds: 80/160

"KISHDOGG215" limped in under the gun, and "22Coins" raised to 320 on the button. "Keksis8" called, as did "KISHDOGG215" and the flop came down {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{5-Clubs}. "22Coins" fired full pot 1,360, only to see "Keksis8" raise to 5,440.

"KISHDOGG215", who had started the action with a check, went for a three bet shove all in of 22,748. "22Coins" ducked out of the way, but "Keksis8" called with {a-Spades}{5-Spades} for two pair. They were miles behind the pocket fives held by "KISHDOGG215", as only an ace would change the fate of the hand.

That card never came, and "KISHDOGG215" scored a virtual double up with a set.

Queens for "Pauline_Card$"

Blinds: 80/160

Two players limped in before "Pauline_Card$" made it 720 to go in the small blind. "rwa0791" was the lone caller, and they went heads up to a flop of {10-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{4-Diamonds}. Both players would check, and the {j-Spades} hit the turn. "Pauline_Card$" went for an overbet of 2,280, "rwa0791" called, and the {6-Clubs} river paired the board.

"Pauline_Card$" went for another big bet, 4,960 this time, and that bet was called once again. "Pauline_Card$" showed two red queens, which was good enough to take down a nice early pot.
