Greenwood Loses a Flip for His Tournament Life

Level 10 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Sam Greenwood
Sam Greenwood

Sam Greenwood opened for 30,000 from middle position and action folded to Byron Kaverman, who three-bet to 78,000 from the small blind. Greenwood responded by four-betting all in for 358,000 and Kaverman called, which left him with just 26,000 behind.

Kaverman: {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
Greenwood: {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}

It was a big flip for both players, and while Greenwood paired up on the {a-Spades}{10-Hearts}{9-Spades} flop, Kaverman also found a set. The {4-Clubs} turn left Greenwood drawing dead, and he was eliminated from the tournament in ninth place after the {Q-Hearts} was run out on the river.

Flush for Kaverman

Byron Kaverman looked down at the {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} and raised to 20,000 from middle position. David Peters, in the next seat, made the call with the {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}, and everyone else folded before the dealer ran out the {Q-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} flop.

With top pair and a flush draw, Kaverman checked. Peters bet 20,000, and Kaverman made the call.

The {K-Diamonds} on the turn gave Kaverman an unbeatable flush, and he checked again. Peters also checked, and the river was the {10-Spades}. Kaverman tanked for quite a bit of time before he bet 50,000. Peters folded, and Kaverman won the pot without going to showdown.

Peters Flops Two Pair

Level 9 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Ben Tollerene raised to 23,000 holding the {7-Clubs}{4-Clubs} in the hijack and David Peters defended his big blind with the {k-Clubs}{3-Clubs}. Peters then check-called a bet of 20,000 after flopping two pair on the {3-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} flop.

Both players then checked the {9-Hearts} turn, and Peters opted for a third check on the {7-Spades} river. Tollerene checked behind and Peters took down the pot.

Four-Way Action

Level 9 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

David Peters raised to 23,000 holding the {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} and Igor Kurganov called from the cutoff with the {7-Spades}{7-Hearts}. Ben Tollerene then called from the small blind with the {2-Spades}{2-Hearts}, Paul Newey came along from the big with the {8-Spades}{7-Spades}, and four players saw a flop of {q-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}.

All four players checked, as they did on the {Q-Diamonds} turn, and then two checks on the {6-Hearts} river saw Peters bet 53,000. It was enough to win the pot as one-by-one his opponents folded.

From early position, Connor Drinan raised to 25,000 with the {A-Spades}{J-Spades}. Play folded to Sam Greenwood in the small blind, and he reraised all in for 146,000 with the {A-Hearts}{K-Spades}. Ben Tollerene was in the big blind and went into the tank with what was shown on the stream to be the {J-Hearts}{J-Clubs}, but folded, and Drinan called.

The flop was {K-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{3-Spades}, and Greenwood added a pair of kings to improve his position on the hand. The turn was the {6-Clubs}, the river was the {4-Diamonds}, and Greenwood doubled.

Paul Newey opened for 22,000 with the {k-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} in the hijack. Connor Drinan then three-bet to 55,000 from the cutoff with the {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}, Steve O'Dwyer cold called from the big blind with the {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}, and Newey got out of the way.

Both players checked the {5-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{5-Clubs} flop and then O'Dwyer bet 63,000 on the {7-Spades} turn. When the {3-Clubs} completed the board on the river, O'Dwyer led out for 140,000 and Drinan hit the tanks for several minutes before making the call.

O'Dwyer tabled his tens and seemed a little surprised to see Drinan roll over pocket rockets for the win.
