Hartzheim Wins Three-Way Pot

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Mike Hartzheim opened for 16,000 from early position and Patrick Fabian called from late position. Action was on Eddie Blumenthal who three-bet to 70,000 from the small blind, which was called by both Hartzheim and Fabian.

The flop fell {5-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{9-Spades} and Blumenthal checked to Hartzheim who fired out 45,000.

Fabian mucked his hand and Blumenthal quickly followed giving the decent-sized pot to Hartzheim.

Shane Thorne jammed for 57,000 from the small blind, and Marcus Yofon called in the big blind.

Shane Thorne: {a-Clubs}{j-Spades}
Marcus Yofon: {a-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}

Thorne, the September 2019 WSOPC Potawatomi Casino Champion, saw Yofon pick up four more outs on the {2-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{3-Spades} flop, but improve no further on the {8-Spades} turn or {6-Spades} river, earning Thorne a double.

Raghavan Binks and Doubles

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Ravi Raghavan
Ravi Raghavan

Ravi Raghavan jammed for 50,000 from under the gun, and action folded to John Gallaher in the big blind.

"I think I have this guy's favorite hand," Gallaher said, gesturing towards Ryan "Jesus" Scully, before calling.

Ravi Raghavan: {a-Hearts}{7-Hearts}
John Gallaher: {10-Hearts}{8-Hearts}

"How'd you know?" Scully said with a laugh.

Gallaher pulled ahead on the {8-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{9-Spades} flop, and improved to trips on the {8-Clubs} turn, leaving Raghavan looking for a five to survive.

"I jinxed you, didn't I?" Scully said to Raghavan.

"Nope!" Raghavan said once the {5-Clubs} fell on the river, sending him an unlikely double.

Ken Donarski, Winner of Event #5

A huge three-way pot had already built up between Joshua Clanton, who was already all-in, Ken Donarski in the hijack, and David McGowan in middle position.

The {6-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{5-Spades} board was on the felt, and McGowan jammed for around 210,000 into a pot of around 300,000.

"I think I have to call you," Donarski said before committing chips.

Joshua Clanton: {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}
David McGowan: {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}
Ken Donarski: {j-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

Donarski's trip nines held up on the {4-Spades} river, notching him a massive double knockout.
