Greenwood Caught Bluffing

Level 5 : 250/500, 75 ante

On the tail end of a bigger pot between Sam Greenwood and Victor Chung, the former made a pot-sized bet of 22,000 out of the small blind on the river of a board {K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{8-Clubs}. Chung was sent into the think tank and took almost a minute before calling. Greenwood rolled over {J-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} for a busted straight draw and Chung had that beat with the {K-Spades}{9-Spades} for top pair.

One hand later, Chung limped in and Greenwood raised to 1,700 on the button, just Chung came along and checked the {K-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{3-Spades} flop. Greenwood bet 2,000 and won a fraction of the chips he had just lost after Chung sent his cards into the muck.

Blumenfield Plays It Tricky

Level 5 : 250/500, 75 ante

Neil Blumenfield was sat in the big blind, with just 8,525 chips left. There had been a 1,000 open and a three-bet on the button to 3,000 by the time the action came to him and he decided to call. Back to the initial raiser and he four-bet to 14,000, which folded out the button and Blumenfield couldn't get the rest of his chips in quick enough.

Neil Blumenfield: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}
Opponent: {a-Clubs}{4-Clubs}

Blumenfield was the huge favorite as they went heads up to the flop. It came {k-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{a-Spades} and Blumenfield couldn't lose the hand and would only chop with running broadway cards. The {3-Diamonds} turn locked it up and the {9-Diamonds} didn't matter. That gets him more than a double and puts him back over 40 big blinds.

Colpoys Applying Pressure

Level 5 : 250/500, 75 ante

Dan Colpoys opened to 1,300 from late position, an opponent called from the hijack and another opponent three-bet to 5,000 from the cutoff.

Colpoys grabbed for chips, he four-bet to 14,500 and both opponents folded. He showed a {4-Diamonds} and the tabled started laughing as Colpoys added more chips to his already healthy stack.

Jivani Lays Down a Set

Level 5 : 250/500, 75 ante

On the three-way flop of {Q-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{3-Clubs}, a short stack moved all in for around 5,000 and Anil Jivani called from one seat over. Sinh Nguyen pushed over the top for more than 90,000 and Jivani, with some 95,000 behind, gave it a lot of thought before electing to fold. In table chat, he said he held pocket treys for bottom set and was shocked when he saw the showdown.

The player at risk had {A-Clubs}{2-Clubs} and Nguyen turned over {Q-Clubs}{8-Clubs}. The {K-Hearts} turn and {9-Diamonds} river run out brought no help and Nguyen claimed the pot. The talk about the hand was still going on after and another player chimed in with the words "I'd lay down a set of fives, only call with top set there."

Patel Takes a Big Hit; Tedeschi Eliminated

Level 5 : 250/500, 75 ante
Kevin Patel
Kevin Patel

"I slow-played the hand and misread my cards at the end," Kevin Patel said after he just had to ship over 48,775 on the river of a board {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{2-Hearts}. According to other players at the table, Patel had flopped a set of kings and got it in on the river against an opponent with {A-Clubs}{9-Clubs} to take a big hit.

For Paul Tedeschi it came even worse, he was spotted outside of the tournament area and explained an aces-cracked hand where he got it in after a ten-high flop only to see an opponent with jack-ten spike another ten for trips on the turn.
