Niceta Flops Top Set and Gets Paid

Tyler Foran

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Lily Kiletto opened to 1,200 from early positon and Michael Niceta called next to act, followed by the small blind the big blind.

The dealer spread a flop of J♦8♠4♠ and the binds checked before Kiletto continued with a bet of 2,200. All three players made the call.

The 7♥ fell on the turn and the blinds checked, as did Kiletto before Niceta fired a bet of 5,500. This time only the big blind check-called.

When the Q♦ hit the river, the big blind checked and Niceta kept his foot on the gas with a bet of 12,000. His opponent tanked for about 20 seconds and tossed in the call to see the bad news as Niceta tabled J♥J♠ for top set on the flop.

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Michael Carr, who busted Gene Calden during the last level, just took down another pot with a big bet on the river.

Carr was in the hijack and heads-up against an opponent under the gun on a board of 3♦J♦Q♣8♣. The under-the-gun player bet 2,700 and Carr came back with a raise to 5,900.

His opponent called to the 7♠ river, where Carr fired out 17,500. The under-the-gun player tanked for about a minute before folding his hand as Carr showed 10♣9♣ for the straight.

"I had a really strong hand," his opponent told him.

Sachin Bhargava and Tony Vo were seen putting 3,000 in each to see the 9♣6♦3♣ flop.

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Stefan Bittger opened to 800 from late position and the cutoff player makes the call as well as Derek Normand on the button.

The flop came out 6♥7♠8♣ and the action was checked to Normand who bet 1,300 and only received a call from Bittger.

On the turn 3♠ Normand fired again for 3,600 and Bittger thought about it for more than twenty seconds before deciding to let it go.

"Finally! Sticky f*cker!" Normand laughed, "He's German, he doesn't believe any of us!"

Adam Lamers

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

The action folded around to the small blind for the third hand in a row but this time Ren Lin made it 1,400 to go. Patrick Liang called from the big blind and the dealer fanned the flop of 9♠9♦8♥.

Lin continued with a bet of 1,000 on the flop but Liang whiffed and dumped his cards to the muck.

"No coolers on this table," Lin said as he flipped over A♦9♥. "Drawing dead."
