Hinkle Wasn't Sure if He Was Bluffing

Ryan Gray

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Mason Hinkle bet 11,000 from late position on a 4♠3♦5♣ and Allen Li-Xin Shen called from the button.

When the turn came 3♠, Hinkle put all 27,700 of his remaining chips in the middle. Shen tanked for three minutes, separating out the calling chips, and then putting them back in his stack as he stared down Hinkle and the flop.

Eventually he released and asked Hinkle if he had been bluffing. "As you were thinking about the call," replied Hinkle, "I wasn't sure if I was bluffing or had the best hand."

Nicholas Baris raised 1,000 in middle position and Colten Yamagishi three-bet to 2,500 in the cutoff. The table quickly folded back around to Baris, and he made the call.

The dealer fanned a flop of 6♣6♥4♥, and Baris check-called a continuation bet of 2,000 from Yamagishi.

Baris checked the 5♠ turn, and Yamagishi quickly checked back.

When the 10♥ landed on the river, Baris fired a bet of 10,200 into the middle. Yamagishi surrendered the pot, saving his remaining stack of 13,200.

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

PokerNews was waved over to the table as Josh Palmer explained "That he was sitting to the left of Chris Moorman in the main event. He saw Moorman playing the $400 No-Limit Hold'em Turbo online bracelet event and decided to join him." Little did he know, he would be sat in the exact same seat position online right next to Moorman. Soon after, Palmer went on to bust Moorman from the online event.

Both players are currently short of starting stack but hope to chip up before making it to Day 2 of the Main Event. With lots of tournament left to play, PokerNews will be keeping an eye on these two players throughout the day.

Roxanne Johnson

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Tracey Nguyen Hill was in early position and raised to 1,100 and received a call from the big blind. The flop came out 3♥5♠7♠ with flush and straight options all over the place. The big blind player bet 1,100 and Nguyen Hill reraised to 2,200. The big blind player went into the think tank and called.

The board got more dangerous on the turn 10♠ and the big blind checked and Nguyen Hill placed a bet of 2,300 and got the call.

On the river K♥ the big blind made his move and bet 12,000 and it was Nguyen Hill's turn to think and then she made the call.

The big blind flipped over 8♥9♣ for a missed straight and Nguyen Hill tossed over A♠A♦ for the overpair. Nguyen stated, "He was repping that flush draw hard".

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Three-handed on a flop of 8♥7♥A♠, Robert Mierzejewski bet 1,200 from the button and only Lucia Antunes called in the hijack.

The turn came the 4♠ and Mierzejewski bet another 6,500. Antunes this time came back with a raise to 15,000 and Mierzejewski laid his hand down.

"Another bluff," a tablemate said as Antunes raked in the pot.

At the same time on an adjacent table, Christian Harder raised to 1,000 from under the gun and was called by an opponent in the big blind.

The flop came 3♣7♦2♦ and Harder continued for 800. His opponent called to the K♠ turn, where Harder won the pot with another bet of 3,000.

Harder is seated at a tough table that also includes Frederik Brink and Tyler Smith.

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Keith Vuono raised in late position to 1,200 and got called by both the small blind and big blind to bring out a 6♣10♥3♦ flop.

The small blind led out for 1,200 and both the big blind and Vuono called to see the 9♣ turn.

The small blind again chose to lead, this time for 1,600. The big blind decided to fold but Vuono stuck around to see the Q♠ hit the river.

The small blind led one more time, this time for 3,000. Vuono thought briefly, but decided pretty quickly that he wasn't a believer and called with the A♥10♠.

His opponent showed the A♠J♥ and Vuono said, "You can't have trips every time" as he collected the pot.

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Daniel Cates raised it up from the hijack and picked up two callers including Marcelo Lanza in the big blind. The flop came J♦10♣6♦ and the action checked around to the 8♣ on the turn.

Lanza led out with a bet of 2,300 and Cates raised to 8,500, forcing the button to fold. Lanza jammed all in for 14,200 and Cates snapped him off.

Marcelo Lanza: J♥8♦
Daniel Cates: K♣Q♣

Lanza had two pair but needed to fade the world with Cates having a combo draw. The river was the 7♦ and Cates missed everything as he sent over a double up.
