D'Angelo Getting Up There

With the board reading {8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{2-Clubs}{k-Clubs} and around 10,000 already in the pot, Ryan "g0lfa' D'Angelo checked to his opponent who bet out 4,500. D'Angelo took a bit of time and then check-raised him to 22,450 which was a massive raise. The other player called and D'Angelo showed {5-Clubs}{5-Spades} for a turned full house.

His opponent mucked and D'Angelo scooped in yet another huge pot that put him up to 132,000 and on pace with Maxim Lykov and Bob Safai for the Day 1b chip lead.

Monnette Mucks

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

John Monnette raised to 800 from under the gun plus one and received calls from both of the blinds. On the {Q-Spades}{8-Spades}{4-Spades} flop, it was checked to Monnette who bet 1,700 with only the small blind calling. The small blind check-called another bet of 3,400 by Monnette on the {4-Clubs} turn and then both players checked the {7-Diamonds} river. The small blind turned over {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} for queens up and Monnette mucked.

Boom Goes the Devilfish

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

A middle position player raised to 600 and Dave "Devilfish" Ulliott made the call from the small blind. The big blind decided to see a flop as well and the three players watched it fall {Q-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}.

"Boom!" Devilfish exclaimed, before he started singing "Boom boom boom..." His joyous table talk was followed by a bet, leading out into the pot for 1,200. The big blind folded but the original raiser made the call. The turn came {9-Diamonds} and Ulliott continued the aggression with a 2,000 bet. His opponent thought it over before finally mucking his cards. This win brings Devilfish up to around 51,000 in chips.

Cody Collapsing

A player in the cut off put out a bet preflop, and when action was next on Jake Cody on the button he made it 2,100. Both the blinds folded and it was back on the cut off who completed. {8-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{7-Clubs} all made an appearance on the flop and the cut off checked. Cody then bet out 2,600 and was immediately reraised by the cut off who threw in 6,000. Cody hesitated for a few moments before ultimately throwing his cards in the muck.

Hruby Makes Sick Laydown?

Martin Hruby
Martin Hruby

A middle position player opened for 300 and Martin Hruby three-bet to 825 in the hijack. The opener made the call as the two saw a {10-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{5-Spades} flop come down. Hruby led for 1,125 and the the hijack called. Both players checked the {7-Hearts} on the turn and the preflop raiser bet 2,500 on the {9-Clubs} river. Hruby folded but showed what looked like the {9-Spades} for trips. If that was the case, then Hruby made a great laydown as the middle positon player showed {J-Hearts}{8-Hearts} for a straight as he dragged in the pot.

Seiver Slips

An early position player raised to 750, the player directly to his left called and action folded around to Scott Seiver on the button who raised to 2,550. When action got back around to the original raiser he went into the tank for a couple of minutes before upping the bet to 4,425. The middle player got out of the way and Seiver moved all in but was snap-called and after the cards were revealed it was easy to see why.

Seiver: {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}
Opponent: {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}

Seiver had the other player covered but would need some help to avoid taking a major hit to his stack. Unfortunately the board ran out {q-Spades}{9-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} and the other player doubled while Seiver was left with 7,500. As soon as the river had been dealt Seiver grabbed his phone and started typing, likely a text or tweet relaying his bad fortune.

Quads for the Mouth

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

Marcello Mesqueu opened to 800, Mike Matusow called from the small blind, and Robin Mitchell called from the big. The flop fell {a-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{8-Hearts}, and Matusow led for 1,100. Mitchell released, Mesqueu raised to 2,500, and Matusow called.

The turn was the {q-Spades}, and Matusow check-called 5,500 from Mesqueu. The river was another eight - the {8-Clubs} - and Matusow again checked, Mesqueu checked behind, and Matusow opened up {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds} for quad eights.
