Swann Gets a Bluff Through on Spragg

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Benjamin Spragg
Benjamin Spragg

On a flop of 9?6?J?, Benjamin Spragg in the big blind check-called a bet of 4,400 from Nicholas Swann, who was under the gun.

The two saw a Q? fall on the turn and again Spragg went into check-call mode when Swann fired 10,600.

An 8? on the river put four to a straight on the board and again Spragg checked, then Swann shoved for just under 30,000. Spragg had around 35,000 remaining in his stack and kept looking over to his opponent, trying to get a read. However, Swann remained motionless and after rechecking his cards several times, Spragg elected to fold.

Swann wasted no time in showing the TV cameras that he had bluffed the PokerStars Ambassador with K?7?, then raked in the pot

Lewis Has Kicker Problems, Arapi Chips Up

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Jean-Emmanuel Lhuillier opened to 2,500 from early position and Dritan Arapi called in the hijack. Andrew Lewis also called from the button.

They went to a flop of 4?6?J? which checked through to the A? turn. Lhuillier checked, and Arapi fired 3,400. Lewis called, and Lhuillier folded.

On the 6? river, Arapi checked it over to Lewis, who stuck out a bet of 8,000. Arapi didn't need to think for too long before he tossed in a chip to signify a call.

Lewis then confidently flipped A?5? for a pair of aces, but Arapi showed A?Q? for a pair of aces with a better kicker to scoop the pot.

Boatman Flops Bottom Two, Stacks Carr

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Barny Boatman
Barny Boatman

Barny Boatman raised to 2,600 from early position and Adam McKola three-bet the hijack to 7,000. When it got to Alan Carr on the button, he shoved for 8,700. Boatman and McKola both called.

On the 2?3?J? flop, Boatman checked and McKola fired 3,500. Boatman quickly raised to 15,000, and after some time in the tank, McKola folded.

Alan Carr: A?10? All in
Barny Boatman: 3?2?

Boatman had flopped bottom two pair, which left Carr drawing extremely slim. By the time the 6? hit the turn, Carr was drawing dead, with a meaningless 7? completing the runout.

Moroney's Kicker Plays to Double Through Keshav

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Ricky Keshav made it 2,500 from middle position and Martin Donoghue called on the button before Ian Moroney shoved for 10,000 from the big blind. Keshav called, but Donoghue folded.

Ian Moroney: A?J? All in
Ricky Keshav: A?3?

Keshav was behind and couldn't catch up as the board of 7?9?Q?9?6? kept the ace-jack of Moroney in the lead, which earned him a double-up.
