Fei Among Leaders

Level 4 : 300/500, 500 ante
Wesley Fei
Wesley Fei

PokerNews was called over as Wesley Fei was excitedly ready to count his stack and tell about a big hand he just won to launch his stack toward the top of the counts.

As he counted it out, he told how he had {k-}{k-} on a board of {q-}{j-}{7-}{9-}. He check-jammed all in and got a call from his opponent who had {a-}{q-}. The river was another {9-} and Fei's overpair held to bust the departed player holding ace-queen and give Fei the substantial pot.

Depaulo Hooks Another One

Level 3 : 200/400, 400 ante
Ryan Depaulo
Ryan Depaulo

With the flop showing {k-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{6-Clubs}, the player in the big blind bet 2,200 and Ryan Depaulo called. Both players checked the {8-Clubs} turn.

The river came the {9-Hearts} and the big blind opened the betting again, throwing in 15,000. Depaulo responded by pushing all in and was met with a snap-call.

The big blind showed {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} for the rivered set, but Depaulo had made the nut straight with {j-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} to bust another player.

"What are the chances you're the chip leader of the tournament," a tablemate asked Depaulo.

"People just give it away to him. If he has all the chips, we can get them," another replied.

"I'm a tournament player, not a cash game player. I'm not going to give them away that easily," Depaulo said while stacking up his new chips.

Andy Miller opened to 1,000 from middle position and one player called in the cutoff before Jen Shahade three-bet to 4,500 on the button. Miller folded, but the field caller flatted again.

The flop came {q-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{9-Hearts}. Both Shahade and her opponent checked the flop.

The turn was the {2-Hearts}. The cutoff player bet 7,000 and Shahde called in position to take the hand to the river.

The river was the {j-Spades}. Shahade's opponent thought for about two minutes and bet 6,000. Shahade didn't think long before making the call.

The cutoff player showed {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}, but Shahade had the {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades} for the winner.

Level 3 : 200/400, 400 ante
Jimmy D'Ambrosio
Jimmy D'Ambrosio

Action picked up on the flop in a three-way pot with a board of {10-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{6-Clubs}.

Jimmy D'Ambrosio bet 3,300 from under the gun. Harry Kazazian folded the button, but the small blind called, and Josh Arieh called in the big blind.

"What?" said Ambrosio when Kazazian folded.

"You'll probably hit me with the five-six," said Kazazian.

The dealer reminded Kazazian not to talk about the hand.

The turn brought the {5-Diamonds}. Both players checked to D'Ambrosio, who bet 9,900. The small blind folded, Arieh made the call.

The river completed the front-door flush when the {9-Hearts} hit the board. Arieh checked to D'Ambrosio who bet 13,900.

Arieh thought for about 15 seconds before announcing "all in," 25,000 effective. D'Ambrosio called immediately.

Arieh showed {a-Hearts}{2-Hearts} for the rivered flush, but D'Ambrosio indeed had the {5-Spades}{6-Spades} for the turned full house.

Abernathy Hits the Last Jack

Level 3 : 200/400, 400 ante
Sam Abernathy
Sam Abernathy

Sam Abernathy was heads-up on a flop of {j-Spades}{3-Hearts}{10-Hearts} and bet 6,400 from the small blind. Her opponent called on the button and they saw the {10-Spades} fall on the turn.

Abernathy checked this time and the button flicked in 15,000. Abernathy re-checked her cards one last time before moving all in for 27,000, with her opponent snap-calling.

Abernathy showed {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} for a full house as her opponent was already drawing dead with {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}. The meaningless river was the {5-Diamonds} and she doubled up.

Afterward, a tablemate said he folded king-jack of hearts, meaning Abernathy had hit a one-outer on the flop.

On a completed board of {7-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{2-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{4-Spades} , Paulina Loeliger aka "Poker Bunny" was deep in thought after faced with a bet of 1,800 from Chad Burum.

Then Loeliger put out a raise to 7,000 and Burum looked slightly confused.

"Ok, nice hand," he said as he put out calling chips.
