Melissa Bryne
Melissa Bryne

"pkrmeister" raised from the cutoff and then called the 4,962 three-bet jam Melissa "luckmgmt" Bryne shoved out from the cutoff.

"pkrmeister": {j-Clubs}{j-Spades}
Melissa "luckmgmt" Bryne: {a-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}

Bryne was behind needing to pair her ace but none appeared on the {k-Spades}{7-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{9-Spades} board and she was eliminated from the tournament.

Hoard Benefits From Set Over Set

Level 11 : 200/400, 50 ante

Joe "Jumpinjo79" Altman raised to 1,050, Tommy "cliffiehawg" Hoard three-bet to 2,950 and Altman called.

The flop came the {q-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{7-Diamonds}. Hoard bet 2,400, Altman clicked it back for 4,800 which prompted Hoard to three-bet all in for 29,157 easily having Altman covered who called.

It was a set over set situation with Hoang on the better end of it with the {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts} vs the {7-Hearts}{7-Spades} of Altman. There would be no miracle seven for Altman as the {4-Spades} and {9-Hearts} completed the board and forced him to rebuy.

Hoard Eliminates "Lobstur"

Level 11 : 200/400, 50 ante
Tommy Hoard

Tommy "cliffiehawg" Hoard raised to 950 from the cutoff and was called by both the blinds bringing the {j-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{9-Hearts} glop.

Action was checked to "Lobstur" who moved all in for 10,977 from the big blind and Hoard isolated.

"Lobstur": {10-Diamonds}{9-Spades}
Tommy "cliffiehawg" Hoard: {q-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}

Both players held straight draws but Hoard was ahead after pairing his lady and neither the {6-Spades} turn nor the {7-Clubs} river changed a thing.

Melissa "luckmgmt" Bryne Looking to Bring the "GrindHaus" Some WSOP Gold

Level 10 : 160/320, 40 ante
Melissa Bryne
Melissa Bryne

Texan poker pro Melissa "luckmgmt" Bryne has spent the majority of quarantine firing up her Twitch stream and grinding the online streets, and Bryne, who now calls Las Vegas home, is looking for some WSOP.com Online Bracelet Series success.

Bryne says that in general, "I primarily play online but definitely mix in some live cash and tournaments when I need a break from the computer," according to her Twitch bio, but she's shown her chops in live tournaments, as well. In one of the last WSOP Circuit events before the Covid-19 pandemic, Bryne chalked up four cashes at the WSOPC Choctaw series, including a deep run in the $1,700 Main Event, ultimately finishing in twenty-ninth place for $7,421. Bryne's biggest score came in 2017, when she defeated a field of 327 entrants in a $500 No Limit Hold'em event at the Wynn to earn $36,708.

Bryne is a part of the "GrindHaus", a group of poker players living together in Las Vegas that includes Bryne's boyfriend, Jerod "whiskeydeck" Smith and Brian "TGBpoker" Frenzel among others. The group all participate in Twitch streams, podcasts, and other general hijinks on their active and entertaining social media pages.

Bryne, who is in today's field, will be looking to catch her first WSOP Gold Bracelet on stream in front of her loyal fanbase, and we'll be keeping tabs on her throughout today's play.
