Moorman Finds Value

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Chris Moorman
Chris Moorman

Picking up the action on the turn, Chris Moorman from the cutoff was involved in a hand with a player in early position. With the board reading {q-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{7-Spades} the early position player checked and Moorman bet 3,500. His opponent called to send the two players to the river.

The {9-Clubs} river saw the early position player check again. Moorman was not yet prepared to go to showdown and fired off 8,400. His opponent snapped it off but mucked, saying "nice hand", as Moorman turned over {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}.

Multi-Way Mayhem

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

The PokerNews team was called over to a table after the fact to report on a wild hand that happened. Action started with an early position open to 1,100 from Chris Ackerman. Eli Siboni three-bet next to act to 5,000 and Kelli Stewart made the call from the hijack. Scotter Clark four-bet from the cutoff to 9,500 and it folded back to Ackerman who moved all in for 33,000 and Siboni called for his last 15,000. Both Stewart and Clark got out of the way and the hands were shown.

Eli Siboni: {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
Chris Ackerman: {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades}

When the hands were revealed Clark told the table he folded ace-king preflop making Siboni's odds drop drastically, however when the board ran out {j-Hearts}{3-Spades}{5-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{4-Hearts}, Siboni scored runner-runner flush and a full triple up.

Parminder Makes the Laydown

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Action was picked up with 7,800 in the pot and a board of {q-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{9-Spades} on the table. Eric Persson led out from early position for 7,000. Kumar Parminder, two seats to his left, put in the call, albeit with a bit of hesitation.

On the {8-Diamonds} river, Persson fired for 15,000, sending Parminder into the tank. "You were really behind," Parminder told Persson several times, visibly disgusted at the river.

"And you're a smart man who folds when he knows he's behind," Persson responded.

After a few minutes in the tank, and a warning from another player at the table that he'd soon be calling the clock, Parminder folded, face up, showing {9-Hearts}{10-Clubs} for two pair. Persson showed him {j-Hearts}{4-Hearts} for a flopped flush.
