Ho Chops It Up Again

Ryan Gray

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Maria Ho raised 60,000 from under the gun and button Christopher Hodgson called. Big blind Cole Keenan looked at his stack and saw he had only 140,000. Then he turned and craned his head up to the game lock, watching at it for a long time. A tablemate asked what he was doing.

"I'm waiting for the payouts to scroll," said Keenan. "I need to see the pay jump."

After another moment, Keenan saw the information he was looking for and put those remaining chips all in. Ho called and Hodgson folded.

Ho: A♣Q♣
Keenan: A♥Q♦

The 4♠2♠5♣10♥A♠ board did not bring enough clubs for Ho, or diamonds or hearts for Keenan, and they split the pot. And Keenan perhaps lived to make that next pay jump.

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

A player under the gun started the hand with a raise to 50,000 called by both the blinds; Daniel Barrioncanal in the small and Kyriakos Papadopoulos in the big.

The flop came 3♣10♦J♣. All three players checked through to a turn of the 4♦. Barrioncanal took the lead for 85,000, Papadopoulos called and the original raiser folded.

The river came the 9♠ and Barrioncanal fired 220,000 for a final time. Papadopoulos sat on the decision for some time before finally settling on a fold.

Cole Keenan: K♥J♣

Keenan's trips were no good against the second-nut straight and he left for the rail.

Angelou Gains Some Momentum

Roxanne Johnson

Level 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Preflop action had the button, Kyriakos Papadopoulos, raise to 70,000 and the small blind, Nikolaos Angelou, called. The big blind, Boris Berthomet, also called and the flop came down J♦6♦7♣, which all players checked.

The turn brought the A♦ and again it was checked around.

The J♦ on the river reopened the action with Angelou betting 125,000, Berthomet called, and Papadopoulos reraised to 320,000.

Angelou announced, "All in," and both Berthomet and Papadopoulos folded.

With that, Angelou took down the pot uncontested.
