Gimbel Can't Beat Tens-Up

Level 7 : 200/400, 50 ante

Harrison Gimbel led out for a bet of what looked like 2,700 on a board of {2-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{2-Spades}{10-Hearts}, and a player in his direct left called. The river was the {9-Clubs}, Gimbel opted to check, and the player fired out 5,700. Gimbel tank-called, putting a few too many yellow T1,000 forward but not enough to make it an official raise. Confused, the player balked for a second before finally revealing {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs}.

Gimbel mucked his hand, and took back the extra chips.

Low Flow

Level 7 : 200/400, 50 ante

We caught up to Faraz Jaka preflop where he opened the pot to 900 from the cutoff. He was only called by the player on the button.

On the {q-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{9-Spades} flop, Jaka continued with a bet of 2,000. The player on the button called.

The turn was the {6-Spades} and Jaka bet again, this time 3,200. The player on the button moved all in and Jaka snap folded.

After that hand, Jaka has dipped below starting stack after having a healthy chip stack for most of the day.

Flopped Quads

Level 7 : 200/400, 50 ante

On a board of {6-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{q-Hearts} Max Steinberg made a bet of 1,300 which was met by Kevin Saul who called it. The turn came the {j-Spades} and Steinberg bet out again with a bet of 2,600. Saul called again. The river came the {a-Diamonds} and when Saul checked a third time Steinberg bet 8,000. This put Saul deep into the tank. He thought for five minutes. He could not find a reason to fold and made the call.

Steinberg flipped up quads {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}! The flopped quads gave Steinberg a nice pot and a stack of 30,000

Marafioti Gets Litvinov to Talk

Level 7 : 200/400, 50 ante

Matt Marafioti had made a raise preflop against his opponent. Artem Litvinov speaking in a deep accent goes off about having information but still makes the call. The flop comes {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}{7-Spades} and Marafioti bets 2,975. Litvinov not to happy with Marafioti makes the call. The turn came the {5-Hearts} and Marafioti bet 3,000 of his remaining 5,200. Litvinov went deep into the tank.

Litvinov said in a deep russian accent, "If I don't speak you only call!" Speaking of the preflop action.

Even though the pot was so big Litvinov did not want to call. Eventually Marafioti called the clock. Not to much longer after the clock was called did Litvinov released his hand. With that Marafioti is back in the game.
