Foutty Doubles Through Moses

Level 5 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Steve Foutty three-bet jammed for the last 15,600 in the big blind and was called by David Moses on the button.

Steve Foutty: {4-Clubs}{4-Spades}
David Moses: {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}

The "Grinch hat" of Moses had a flip and gained more equity on the {9-Clubs}{8-Spades}{7-Diamonds} flop with the gutshot straight draw. However, both the {5-Spades} turn and the {8-Hearts} river were blanks and the pocket pair of Foutty locked up the double.

Tran Felts Felts

Level 5 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

In a preflop all-in contest between two of the shorter stacks in the field, Alan Felts and Quan Tran got their chips into the middle with near identical stack sizes.

Alan Felts: {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Quan Tran: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}

The {k-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{3-Hearts} flop left Felts with a mountain to climb and he found no miracle on the {5-Clubs} turn nor {8-Clubs} river. Both stacks were counted and the 17,100 by Felts were covered by a notch.

Bissinger Boosts Stack and Shows a Semi-Bluff

Level 5 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Heads-up to the {k-Spades}{9-Hearts}{4-Spades}{q-Spades}{8-Diamonds} river, Dan Gannon bet 7,500 with around two times as much behind and Christopher Bissinger then raised it up to 25,000 with the far larger stack. Gannon reluctantly folded and was shown the {10-Hearts}{4-Clubs} for the bottom pair.
