Newsome Bets Small on the River

Ryan Lashmar

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Action was picked up on the flop with players heads up and the board reading K♥4♠4♦. A player in the hijack bet 1,200 and was called by Brandon Newsome on the button.

On the 2♥ turn the hijack fired a second barrel, this time for 2,100. Newsome once again made the call.

The hijack slowed down with a check on the 6♦ river. Newsome made a small bet of 2,000 and the hijack quickly folded.

Dominic Clementson

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

On a flop of 10♣6♣7♠, action was checked to Kyle Cartwright in the cutoff, who bet 2,500. He was called by the player sitting under the gun.

The turn brought the 4♦. Cartwright bet again, making it 7,400 — and his opponent declared all in for around 18,000. Cartwright, who covered comfortably, quickly made the call.

Under the Gun: K♥K♦
Kyle Cartwright: A♠A♣

The river was an insignificant 4♣ and Cartwright took the pot, busting his adversary in the process.

Late on Day 1, Sundiata Devore found himself on the right end of a cooler on a 7♦9♥10♦10♥A♣ board. After a check, Devore shoved all in and his opponent called it off with a painstaking look on his face.

Despite holding 9♣9♦ for a full house, his fears were confirmed as Devore rolled over A♠10♠ for a bigger boat.

The river was the J♦ and Rock kept up the betting and made it 12,000. The middle position player folded.

Rock flipped over the A♦Q♥ for the bluff and the whole table including the middle position player laughed.

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Patrick Beuter opened to 1,300 from the button and received calls from the small blind and big blind.

The flop came 10♦8♦5♣ and both the blinds checked. Beuter fired a continuation bet of 1,300 and received a call only from the big blind.

The turn was the J♦ and action was once again checked to Beuter, who bet a second time for 3,000, quickly forcing a fold from his sole remaining opponent.

Did Loon Get One Through?

Jeremy Geist

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Action was opened under the gun to 1,300 by Lun Loon. It then folded to a player in middle position who three-bet to 3,500. The rest of the field folded and action was back on Loon. He took a moment and then landed on a four-bet to 10,000. Middle position tank called.

The J♣10♣8♠ flop hit the felt and Loon continued for 5,000. Middle position called.

The turn brought an 8♦ and Loon now sized up to 13,000. The player in middle position kept his composure as the table began to stand in anticipation of a large pot. Eventually the middle position player folded KxKx face up and the pot was pushed towards Loon.

He smiled as he flipped over just the K♥ and the middle position player winced as he realized he may have just been bluffed.

Maxime Taldir

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

With nearly 300,000 chips, Christopher Brammer had to defend his big blind against the cutoff, who opened to 1,500.

On the flop A♦4♣5♥, the cutoff added 1,000 more chips to the pot. Brammer check-called to see the turn 8♠. This time, the cutoff raised it to 4,000. But Brammer check-called once again.

On the river 7♥, Brammer checked once again, and so did his opponent. Ready to reveal his cards, Brammer kept them facing down and gave them to the dealer, as the cutoff showed A♠J♥ for a pair of aces.

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

On a heads-up flop of J♠4♥4♦, Frank Calonnec checked to his opponent, Arian Stolt, who bet 5,500 into the pot of around 14,000.

Calonnec made the call and the two went to the turn 9♠, which went check-check to the river 3♦. Calonnec checked to Stolt once more who then sighed heavily as he checked back.

Calonnec then tabled K♣K♦ for kings and fours and Stolt rolled his eyes as he mucked his hand.
