Tang Shoves on Brewer

Adam Lamers

Level 6 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Chris Brewer is on his second bullet of the day and landed himself on a table with fellow high-stakes regular Danny Tang. The two recently clashed in a pot where Brewer raised it up from the hijack and Tang defended in the big blind.

The flop came Q♠4♥3♦ and Tang check-called a continuation bet from Brewer. The 5♠ landed on the turn and Tang checked again. Brewer announced a bet of 55,000 and Tang check-raised all in, prompting a quick fold from Brewer.

Level 6 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Kristen Foxen is seated just shy of the feature tables where the $100,000 Triton Main Event is currently taking place. While trying to build chips on her own table, Foxen is also keeping an eye on the chip counts posted right above her where her husband Alex Foxen is currently leading with just five players remaining.

After facing a raise to 20,000 from Vytautas Semaska, Foxen three-bet to 55,000 from the hijack. Semaska called and the flop of K♦6♥3♥ hit the felt. Semaska checked to Foxen who continued with a bet of 40,000 and Semaska called.

The K♣ paired the board on the turn and both players checked to the Q♠ on the river. Semaska led out with a bet of 100,000 and Foxen quickly called. Semaska showed A♦Q♦ and Foxen held A♥Q♥ for the same hand and a chop, although Foxen had been free-rolling with the flush draw.

Level 6 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Omar Diez raised to 28,000 from under the gun and picked up calls from Eelis Parssinen on the button and Jeff Cormier in the small blind. The flop came 10♣8♠8♣ and the action checked to Parssinen who bet 25,000. Both Cormier and Diez called.

The turn was the 4♥ and Parssinen sized up a bet of 106,000 this time. Cormier called and Diez got out of the way. The river was the 2♣ and Cormier splashed in a bet of 203,000. Parssinen wasted little time before folding and Cormier collected the pot.

"Bluffy," Cormier said hinting that Parssinen was trying to steal the pot. "You can't bluff a bluffer."

Level 6 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

In a heads-up pot on a board of 10♠J♣A♦3♦4♦, Quan Zhou checked and Jean-Noel Thorel bet 75,000 with around 210,000 already in the pot.

Zhou responded by check-raising all in and was met with a snap-call from Thorel. Zhou could only show 9♥8♥ for a stone buff as Thorel tabled A♣10♣ to win the pot with aces-up.

"Wow! Snap-call!" commented Shawn Stroke.
