Larivee Wins Three-Way All In

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

After a hijack jam of 45,000 the short stacked cutoff moved all in for about 19,000 before Andre Larivee called all in from the button for 35,000. The blinds got out of the way and cards were tabled.

Hijack: {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}
Cutoff: {3-Spades}{3-Spades}
Andre Larivee: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}

The board ran out {a-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{8-Hearts}{8-Clubs} to give Larivee the best hand, doubling through one opponent and knocking another out.

Phillips Gets There on River

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

Action went four ways to the flop the of the {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{2-Clubs}. Action checked to Sam Phillips in the cutoff who bet 4,500. Only Stephen "The Mover" Frakes called on the button.

The turn was the {5-Diamonds} and Phillips moved all in for 27,700. Frakes went into the tank before calling.

Sam Phillips: {k-Spades}{q-Clubs}
Stephen "The Mover" Frakes: {a-Spades}{9-Spades}

Phillips said nice call as he turned over his hand but the {9-Clubs} river gave him a flush and the double up which left Frakes with scraps.

Bendeck Rivers Gin

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

On a river with the under-the-gun player all in, play was heads-up between Roberto Bendeck in the hijack and the big blind. Bendeck lead for 10,000 on the board of {7-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{5-Spades} and the big blind called to create at least a 40,000 chip pot.

Bendeck flipped over {5-Hearts}{5-Clubs} for a rivered set, which was good to win against the big blind and bust the short-stacked player under-the-gun.

Gius Genius

Level 7 : 400/800, 800 ante

Gregory Gius just employed one of the best strategies in poker, the get good card strategy. He was all in preflop from the button with {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds} against an early position opponent jamming their last 27,000.

Gius had him covered and held against the opponents {k-Hearts}{10-Spades} on a board of {k-Spades}{6-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{a-Clubs} to chip him up nicely.
