Feenstra Leads the River

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante

On fourth street the board was {k-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{8-Clubs}, and Rens Feenstra bet 2,200 out of the big blind. His opponent in the hijack made it 5,200, and Feenstra called. The {9-Hearts} hit the river, and Feenstra came out with a bet, tossing out two T5,000 chips and softly verbalizing an amount we couldn't hear. His opponent thought for a bit before he mucked.

"Nice bluff," Feenstra's opponent said.

The Dutchman silently dragged the pot.

Belluscio Baffles Galfond

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante
Julio Belluscio
Julio Belluscio

Phil Galfond raised from early position, Julio Belluscio called from the big blind and the flop fell {K-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}.

Belluscio check-called 2,200 from Galfond to see the {K-Clubs} turn where he opted to lead out for 2,200. Galfond called, the {Q-Spades} river completed the board and Belluscio fired 22,000. Galfond went into the tank for about two minutes before he opted to fold.

Two hands later Belluscio limped on the button, Galfond checked his option and they checked to the turn of a {10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds} board. Galfond bet 1,000, Belluscio called and the {3-Diamonds} river completed the board. Galfond check-called 3,300 from Belluscio, but the latter tabled {Q-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} to win the pot.

Isaacs With Position on Riess

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante
Susie Isaacs
Susie Isaacs

Susie Isaacs has just been moved to the same table as Ryan Riess and in a recent hand she was on the button. Riess was in early position and would face playing a pot out of position with Isaacs if she called his raise. Perhaps this was in his thinking when he open folded and elected to sit this one out.

It folded to Isaacs on the button who opened for 2,200. The blinds decided to get stubborn and called her bet. All three players then proceeded to check it down on a board of {k-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{10-Clubs}. No one seemed particularly inclined to show until Isaacs said, “Four.” and turned over the {a-Clubs}{4-Hearts}. The players in the blinds couldn’t beat that and the pot was hers.

Artur Arrives

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante
Artur Koren
Artur Koren

After a very eventful morning which included a skateboarding accident, a trip to the hospital and several X-rays, Artur Koren has finally arrived at the Rio for Day 2a of the World Series of Poker Main Event.

Contrary to previous reports, we discovered that Koren wasn't struck by a car - he simply fell.

"We were coming from the Palms," the Austrian told his table. "There is a ramp. We usually don't take it, but we were in a rush."

On one of the first hands Koren played, he called a raise from an opponent out of the blinds. The two took a flop of {3-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{4-Clubs}, Koren check-called a bet of 2,700, and the pair knuckled on the turn ({7-Diamonds}).

The {8-Clubs} completed the board, Koren led out for 4,000, and his opponent made a quick call. The Austrian showed {k-Spades}{j-Hearts} for a pair of jacks, and was awarded the pot.

Chris Johnson Doing Work

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante
Chris Johnson earlier this summer
Chris Johnson earlier this summer

Chris Johnson started the day with slightly less than 45,000 in chips, and after losing a pot earlier in the day to Stephen Diamantas, he was down to as low as 36,000. Since then, Johnson has eclipsed the 200,000-chip threshold.

Johnson has cashed three times at the 2014 World Series of Poker, including an 11th-place finish in Event #29: $2,500 No-Limit Hold'em for $30,267. He also made a deep run at last year's Main Event, finishing in 82nd for $71,053 and had six other cashes and a final table. With the recent upward trend, the former WSOP Circuit champion has put himself in excellent position to do the same thing again this year.

Misstep from Schemion

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante

We happened upon the action with 35,000 or so already in the pot and a board reading {9-Clubs}{2-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{5-Clubs}. From what we could piece together, Ole Schemion had bet 9,800 or so on the turn, got one caller, and drove out another player.

When the river hit, Schemion waited a few moments before moving all in. His opponent, who had 37,700 behind, snap-called off.

"Five," Schemion admitted sheepishly and reluctantly showed the {6-Spades}{5-Spades}. It was no good, of course, as his opponent doubled with the {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} for a flopped set.

Jonsson Doubles Through Lee

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante

Phillip Lee raised to 2,000 in middle position, and Jimmy Jonsson made it 5,200 on the button. In the big blind, Ben Yu fired up a four-bet to 11,000, and Lee cold-called the raises. Jonsson called as well after some consideration, and the three saw an {8-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{k-Hearts} flop. Yu checked, and Lee announced all in, covering both opponents. Jonsson called off his 28,000. Yu double-checked his cards, then folded.

Jonsson: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}
Lee: {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}

Lee was in bad shape and in need of a queen, but he didn't find one as the {2-Clubs} and {4-Spades} finished the board.
