Witteles Wins Battle of Top Three Hands

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Answering the siren call of "Get PokerNews over here!", the following scene was witnessed. Todd Witteles had raised from early position, another early position player reraised, and then Kyle Miholich had moved all in from the big blind.

Witteles re-shoved and the early position player called all in.

Early Position: QQ
Kyle Miholich: KK
Todd Witteles: AA

The 868 gave Miholich some back door flush outs. Those evaporated on a 7 turn, leaving Miholich and the early position player just their two outs each to beat Witteles, or eight outs for a brutal chop. Witteles dodged all of those scenarios on a clean 6 river, scoring the double knockout.

Han Boosted by Massive Cooler

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Giyeon Han and an opponent in the big blind went to the river on a completed board of QK3KA. The big blind led out for 15,000 and Han came back with a raise to 60,000.

The big blind tanked for about a minute before shoving all in for 91,000, and Han snap-called. The big blind showed Kx10x for trip kings, but Han had KQ for a full house to send his opponent to the rail.

After the hand, Han told tablemate Ronnie Bardah how he was down to 20,000 earlier in the day and needed a three-outer to survive.

Siboni Puts Vieira In The Tank

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Joao Vieira opened from middle position, and was only called by Eli Siboni, who defended his big blind.

On the flop 1028, Vieira continued with a bet of 3,500. Siboni called, and then called again a bet of 12,500 on the turn 5.

But on the river Q, Siboni decided to take the lead and bet 22,000. Vieirahe a sip from his cup and sat back in his chair. For two long minutes, he rested his head on his hand, deep in thought.

At some point, Siboni requested the clock. And just a few seconds before the end of the allotted time, Vieira folded.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

The action was picked up in a three-way pot of roughly 20,000 on a flop showing 1093. Xing He moved all in for 25,000 from the small blind and Eli Elezra made the call from under the gun. A player on the button moved all in over the top for 114,500 and Elezra went deep in the tank. After close to a minute, Elezra open-folded A10 and the other two hands were shown.

Xing He: 109
Button: JJ

He out-flopped the over pair for his opponent, and when the board ran out K6, it was the two pair that held up to score a full triple up for He.

"Better an Egg Tonight, than a Chicken Tomorrow"

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Max Pescatori
Max Pescatori

Max Pescatori open-raised to 4,500 from under the gun and received no less than three callers spread around the table.

The flop came down 65A and Pescatori put in a bet of 7,500 when the action checked to him. It was enough to let the other three players fold and Pescatori won a small but vital pot.

"Better an egg tonight, than a chicken tomorrow," Pescatori wisely concluded.
