Moed Gets Quartered

Level 29 : 80,000/160,000, 0 ante
Michael Moed
Michael Moed

Michael Moed was the first player to raise, and was then three-bet by Micah Brooks in the lojack. Carl Lijewski cold-called from the big blind and Moed raised all in. Both Brooks and Lijewski called.

Lijewski proceeded to check-call down on the {5-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{9-Hearts} flop and {k-Hearts} turn. However, Lijewski folded after facing a bet from Brooks on the {4-Hearts} river.

Brooks showed {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{k-Clubs}{2-Spades} for top set and the nut-low. Moed held {a-}{9-}{7-}{2-} for the same low and an inferior high.

Moed doubled up shortly after the hand ended to gain some chips back.

Travis Pearson
Travis Pearson

Travis Pearson raised from early position, and Yehuda Buchalter called from the big blind.

The dealer spread a flop of {k-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}. The action went check-check.

The turn brought the {a-Clubs}. Buchalter checked, Pearson bet, and Buchalter called.

The river was the {2-Hearts}. This time Buchalter led and was raised by Pearson. He thought for a brief moment before he called, but mucked after Pearson tabled {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} for a turned full house, aces full of nines for the scoop.

This pot left Buchalter with around 425,000 chips, while Pearson chipped up to around 3,120,000 chips.
