Hasas Gets Away; Shields Blocks Franco
Level 2
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Elanit Hasas raised to 500 and Travis Simpson called from the next seat over. The flop was 10♠A♠J♠ and Hasas check-called a bet of 500 from Simpson. Both players checked the 5♠ to get to the 9♠ river. Hasas fired 2,200 but Simpson raised to 5,200 and that was enough to take the pot.
Across the room, Alan Franco flagged down the PokerNews team to share the story of his demise. He sat down for his very first hand with 10x9x and the flop fell JxQxKx. Franco got it all in and Gregory Shields called with less before turning over the better straight with Ax10x. The hand left Franco with just 500, but he has since spun it up to 8,300.
Meanwhile, Angela Jordison, Raymond Leone, Caitlin Comeskey, and Edward Mroczkowski have joined the fun.
