A Tale of Three Hands for Hayes

Level 14 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Phillip "PT" Hayes has caught fire and has vaulted to the top of the chip counts in just three hands and PokerNews was right there to catch all of the action.

Hand #1: Hayes and Karen Smith were heads up on a board reading {k-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{4-Hearts}. Smith fired out a bet of 8,000 into a main pot of about 20,000 and Hayes called. The river was the {7-Clubs} and Smith bet 10,000. Hayes called and Smith turned over {k-Hearts}{10-Spades} for top pair, but it was no good as Hayes held {8-Clubs}{6-Hearts} for a straight.

Hand #2: In the next hand the action folded to Hayes in the small blind and he limped in. The big blind checked and they went heads up to the {j-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} flop. Hayes led out with a bet of 2,300 and the big blind raised to 8,000.

Hayes called and both players checked the {a-Hearts} turn card. The river was the {k-Hearts} and Hayes fired out a bet of 16,000. His opponent quickly called turning over {j-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} for a floppped two pair, but once again Hayes was holding a straight with {3-Spades}{2-Spades}.

Hand #3: In the third consecutive hand for Hayes a player in late position raised to 4,000 and Hayes called from the button. They went heads up to the {a-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{5-Spades} flop and the player continued with a bet of 4,000.

Hayes called and his opponent moved all in for 20,000 when the {9-Hearts} hit the turn. Hayes called turning over {a-Spades}{10-Spades} for top two pair and his opponent showed {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}. The {4-Diamonds} river sealed the deal for Hayes to earn him the knockout, and he now sits at the top of the chip counts with 220,000.
