Hachem Gets After It

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Daniel Hachem
Daniel Hachem

Daniel Hachem opened to 2,600 from under the gun and was called by Marc Maxey in the cutoff. Edward Grinko three-bet to 13,200 in the big blind and both Hachem and Maxey called.

The flop came {j-Spades}{8-Spades}{6-Clubs} and Grinko continued with a bet of 10,000. Hachem called and Maxey also came along for the ride.

The {8-Diamonds} paired the board on the turn and Grinko checked this time. Hachem threw in a bet of 30,000 which put Maxey in the tank for a minute. He eventually decided to fold and Grinko followed suit as Hachem dragged in the pot.

Flush Over Set Knockout

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

With a board of {q-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{2-Hearts} showing and around 20,000 in the middle, Max Altergott and Jared Hyman checked to Justin Landi who shoved all in for 28,300. Landi received calls for both and was looking at a nice triple up if he was to win the hand.

The river was a {10-Diamonds} and Altergott checked to Hyman who threw out a bet of 30,000 which he folded to.

Hyman flipped over {k-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} to show a flush he hit on the river and Landi showed {5-Clubs}{5-Hearts} for a set of fives but it wasn't enough to keep him in the game.

Hall Slays the Dragon

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Dan Cates
Dan Cates

An early-position player opened for 2,700 before Daniel Cates three-bet to 8,500. Ryan Hall four-bet to 27,600. Action folded back to Cates.

He thought for a bit, dressed as a fiery-red dragon, he unleashed his power with an all-in bet of 105,000. Having Cates covered, Hall made the call.

Daniel Cates: {a-}{k-}
Ryan Hall: {q-}{q-}

Cates couldn't improve on the runout, queens held, and the dragon was officially slain.

"My mystic powers didn't work this time," said the dragon on his way out the door.

Saphier Shows Aces

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Melissa Saphier opened to 3,000 and only got called by the player on the big blind.

The flop revealed {9-Hearts}{6-Spades}{3-Clubs} and the big blind tanked a minute and check-called Saphier for 4,000. The same action happened on the {4-Diamonds} turn, this time for 10,000.

The river showed a {4-Hearts} to pair the board and after some thinking, both the big blind and Saphier checked. The big blind tabled {6-Diamonds}{5-Spades} but Saphier turned over {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades} to win the pot.

Set Over Set

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Jameel Harris raised from early position and Hoa Pham three-bet from the cutoff. Harris called and the flop was {10-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{7-Spades}.

Harris checked and then shoved the rest of his stack when Pham bet. Pham called and Harris was at risk for a total of 60,600 when the cards were turned up.

Jameel Harris: {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
Hoa Pham: {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}

Harris was ahead through the {2-Clubs} turn, but the river {k-Spades} brought the better set for Pham.

"That was the case king! I folded one!", another player on the table said as Harris snapped a picture of the bad beat and left the game.
