Big Pot for Serock Against Kottler

On the {10-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{5-Hearts} flop, Jeremy Kottler checked and Joe Serock fired 24,000. Kottler made the call, and the turn was the {2-Diamonds}. Kottler checked again, and Serock bet 57,500. Kottler called.

The {10-Spades} paired the board on the river, and Kottler checked. Serock fired 135,000, which sent Kottler into the tank for several minutes. Eventually, he made the call, but couldn't beat the {K-Hearts}{K-Clubs} that Serock turned over.

Sabat Rolling

Picking up the action on a {Q-Hearts}{10-Spades}{5-Diamonds} flop, action was on Facundo Lambre. His bet of 7,500 was raised to 22,600 by Eddy Sabat, but Lambre came back over the top to 45,100. Sabat spent a few moments in the tank before pushing out a re-raise to about 82,000. Lambre folded pretty quickly and Sabat collected the pot.

Busquet Doubles Through Grishin

"All in and call!" was the cry from the dealer at one of the tables. When we arrived there, we saw that Olivier Busquet was all in with the {K-Hearts}{K-Spades} against the {J-Clubs}{9-Clubs} for Dmitry Grishin.

The flop, turn and river ran out {J-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}, and Busquet doubled up to about 300,000. Busquet was all in for 146,000 preflop, and Grishin was left with approximately 175,000.

Steve “BetrThanPhil” Tripp Wins Event #17 No-Limit Hold’em Turbo

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante
Steve "betrthanphil" Tripp wins Event #17 at the 2013 PCA.
Steve "betrthanphil" Tripp wins Event #17 at the 2013 PCA.

Earlier this year PokerNews conducted an interview with Steve “BetrThanPhil” Tripp for their popular Online Chat series.

In it, the 23-year-old online pro from Ontario, Canada said of playing poker for a living: "This is what I plan on doing unless things start to go wrong. I don’t see that happening but you never know. That is why I finished university, so I had something to fall back on. The game has given me a lot at such a young age — more than I could have ever asked for. I just hope it continues to give and not take."

On Wednesday, the game continued to give Tripp as he took down Event #17 No-Limit Hold’em Turbo at the 2013 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure for $133,080.

On a side note, Tripp also said in the PokerNews interview: "I do respect quite a few players. One being Griffin 'Flush_Entity' Benger, he works really hard at his game and is a great person to shoot the shit." Interestingly, Benger is alive and well in today's Main Event.

Shorr Folds to Check-Raise

We picked up with the action on a completed board of {3-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{2-Spades}{7-Hearts}{K-Spades}. Sam Greenwood checked over to Shannon Shorr who shot out a bet of 10,300 into a pot that already had about 29,000 in it.

Greenwood took this opportunity to slide out a check-raise to 28,000 total. Shorr tanked for well over a minute before finally deciding to fold his hand.
