Picquelle Attempts to Punt his Chips Off

Roxanne Johnson

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Sean Picquelle was under the gun and limped in the pot and the player beside also limped but the cutoff had other ideas and raised to 2,200. Picquelle decided to take a stand and three-bet to 7,000 but the cutoff was not going anywhere and five-bet to 16,000. Picquelle stuffed all of his chips in for 47,000 and the cutoff called.

Cutoff player: K♦K♠
Sean Picquelle: A♣7♣

The board came out Q♥A♥8♥2♣9♠ and Picquelle was unsuccessful at the punt off and doubled his stack. Picquelle requested the title of this post and laughed as he stacked his chips.

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Action was picked up on the turn in a pot with 6,400 in the middle.

The board read 10♦5♥A♥K♦ and Hutter checked over to Ozgur who bet 2,200. Hutter responded by moving all in for 9,700 and Ozgur called.

Barry Hutter: K♣10♥
Onur Ozgur: 10♠10♣

The river J♣ was not the king that Hutter needed to fill up against Ozgur's set and he exited the tournament.

At another table, Bryn Kenney was also eliminated from the main event.

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

"I'm playing this only because PokerNews is watching" said Randall Emmet before opening under the gun to 1,500. He picked up calls by the two players next to him and the button.

The flop revealed A♣6♥3♦ and Emmett continued to bet for 1,500, commenting "I need to do it because PokerNews is writing the hand!" . Once again, his three opponents called.

On the K♠ turn, Emmett sent 7,000 in the middle and it was enough to make his opponents fold and win the pot.

"Watch this" said Emmett before tabling K♦3♥ for two pair. "Finally I'll be on PokerNews when I'm winning hand!" added he jokingly.

Lafaye Finds a Miracle Double

David Salituro

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Glenn Lafaye and Anas Benohod built a pot of around 20,000 heading to the 7♦K♣8♣ flop when Lafaye bet 7,000 from the hijack. Benohod instantly moved a stack of chips forward for a raise, and Lafaye snap-called for his last 39,300.

Glenn Lafaye: A♣K♣
Anas Benohod: A♥A♠

Lafaye had flopped top pair but was in bad shape against Benohod's aces. The turn, though, came the K♥ and Lafaye made trips to take the lead.

Benohod now needed to hit the last remaining ace in the deck but couldn't find it on the 7♠ river as Lafaye doubled up.

Bitty Breaks Through

Kirk Brown

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

On a three-way flop of 2♠7♣K♣, Stephen Bartlett and Jack 'Bitty' Bittker checked from the big blind and early positon, and the middle position player then bet 1,600.

Both Bartlett and Bittker both called and the trio went to the turn 6♦, where everyone checked.

On the river 8♦, Bartlett led out for 4,500 and Bittker thought for a few seconds before making the call and the other player quickly folded.

Bartlett then flipped over A♦7♦ for a pair of sevens but then Bittker revealed K♦J♣ for top pair to take down the sizeable pot.

Ari Engel raised to 1,200 in the hijack and Eric Phillips reraised to 3,500 in the cutoff. Engel called and the flop of Q♠10♠8♥ was spread across the felt.

Engel check-called a bet of 4,000 from Phillips and the 7♦ landed on the turn. Both players checked and the 10♣ paired the board on the river. Engel checked again and Phillips checked it back. Engel turned over 7♠4♠ for a pair of sevens and Phillips looked dumbfounded as he mucked his cards.
