Hennigan Puts Kaplan To The Test

Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
John Hennigan
John Hennigan

In a heads-up pot with 20,000 in the middle on a board showing J?8?4?10?, Gabe Kaplan led out for 16,000 in the small blind and John Hennigan made the call from under the gun.

The A? hit the river and Kaplan slowed down with a check. Hennigan took a moment before announcing all in, well covering the 46,000 remaining for Kaplan, who went in the tank.

After close to 30-seconds, Kaplan released his cards and the pot was sent to Hennigan.

Rezaei Goes For It All

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Daniel Rezaei limped from middle position as did a player in the small blind. Alejandro Lococo then checked his option in the big blind to send action three-way to the flop.

All three players checked through the Q?J?4? flop to the 10? turn at which point the small blind led out for 2,000. Lococo responded with a raise to 7,000, which Rezaei called while the small blind folded.

Lococo continued his aggression with a bet of 28,000 after the J? river completed the board. Rezaei decided to move all in for not much more but Lococo was not willing to pay off even that amount, instead choosing to cut his losses and muck.

McNicholas Takes From Wong

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Euan McNicholas raised to 4,000 under the gun. He received three callers - a player in early position, a player in the cutoff, and Jerry Wong from the big blind.

All four players checked the A?Q?6? flop before doing the same on the 5? turn.

The 5? appeared on the river. Wong led out for 11,000. McNicholas called with the other two players folding. Wong showed Q?6? for queens and sixes, but McNicholas tabled A?J? for aces and fives to take the pot.
