Johnson Gets One Back

Just prior to the break, Travis Johnson raised to 150,000 from the small blind and Craig McConville made the cal in the big blind.

They took a flop of {7-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{Q-Spades} where a 215,000-chip bet from Johnson was enough to take it down.

Salinaro Loses More Chips

In a battle of the blinds in an unraised pot, Walter Wright called Mark Salinaro's 80,000 bet on a flop of {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}. Wright called another 165,000 when the {4-Spades} hit the turn, and 255,000 more when the {3-Clubs} landed on the river.

Salinaro mucked immediately after the river call, and Wright showed {J-Spades}{10-Clubs} for second pair.

McInnis Takes a Big Hit

After winning a couple of good pots earlier, Brian McInnis just lost a lot of chips to Craig McConville.

McConville raised to 150,000 from the cutoff and McInnis reraised to 400,000 from the small blind. When McConville shoved all in, McInnis folded, leaving himself with just 600,000. McConville is now chipped up to 3.1 million.

Brian McInnis Doubles Up Again

Craig McConville raised to 150,000 from the cutoff and Brian McInnis made the call from the small blind.

McInnis then shoved all in on a flop of {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} and McConville called. McInnis showed {5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} for two pair while McConville showed {K-Clubs}{J-Hearts} for two over cards.

The {3-Diamonds} and {7-Spades} on the turn and river kept McInnis in the game and he now has 820,000. McConville has 2,700,000.

Mike Ciolota Strikes Again

Mike Ciotola
Mike Ciotola
Mike Ciotola won another pot, this time against Travis Johnson.

Ciotola raised to 140,000 from middle position and Johnson called. Both players checked the flop of {9-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} and Ciotola check-called a 150,000 bet when the {A-Diamonds} spiked on the turn. The {K-Hearts} on the river when check-check, and Johnson mucked when Ciotola turned over {A-Hearts}{J-Spades} for two pair.

Mike Ciotola Wins a Pot

Mark Salinaro raised to 130,000 from middle position and got calls from Mike Ciotola on the button and Craig McConville in the big blind.

Salinaro led for another 235,000 on a flop of {5-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{8-Diamonds}, and Ciotola quickly shoved all in. When McConville and Salinaro both folded, Ciotola added some valuable chips to his stack.
