Palma Shoves on Belluscio

David Salituro

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

In a blind versus blind battle, Julio Belluscio led out for 7,000 on a flop of 7♥5♣7♠ before Joseph Palma raised to 21,500.

Belluscio called as the A♦ fell on the turn. He then led out again, this time for 15,000. Palma immediately announced he was all in for around 97,000.

Belluscio lowered his head and tanked for a few seconds before sliding his cards into the muck. Palma gave out a big fist pump as he dragged in the pot.

With about 25,000 in the middle, the action checked to Anthony Zinno as he bet 4,000, and his opponent check-called.

The Q♣ hit the turn and both players checked to see the 8♥ river.

Zinno's opponent checked before he tossed out a bet of 25,000. His opponent went in the tank for two minutes and eventually pushed his cards towards the dealer.

Ollie Garland

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Andrew Wu in middle position limped in, the player in the hijack raised to 14,000, the big blind called and so did Wu.

Three-ways to a flop of 2♦7♣K♦. The action checked to the hijack who bet out 13,000. Only Wu continued.

The 3♣ turn checked through to the 10♠ on the river. Wu now took the lead for 38,000.

The player in the hijack thought for a considerable amount of time. Perhaps in the hope of speeding up the decision, Wu told his opponent "Don't call!". The hijack seemingly listen and folded his hand.

Another player at the table begged Wu to show his cards.

"Buy me a beer and I'll show you" he replied as he tabled 3♦3♠ for a turned set.

The next time PokerNews walked past Wu's seat, he had a beer beside his chip stack.

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Tom Dwan opened early to 10,000 with K♠5♠, then called a three-bet from Brian Atchison to 25,000 in the hijack with the rockets. The flop came 3♦10♠J♠ and Dwan check-called a 55,000 bet into a pot of 60,000.

The 5♦ hit the turn, and Dwan once again checked to Atchison, who made it 110,000. Dwan check-shoved with his pair and flush draw, but Atchison nearly beat him into the pot with his aces. The 10♥ river couldn't save Dwan and he hit the rail from the feature table.

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

David McGowan was heads-up on a board of J♣8♦7♦7♥ when he bet 50,000 from the hijack. An opponent in early position then moved all in, having McGowan's remaining 107,000 covered.

"Did you flop a set," McGowan asked as he continued to tank. He eventually called and flipped over K♣K♠. His opponent didn't have a set, instead showing Q♦Q♥, and McGowan secured his double up once the 6♦ fell on the river.

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Narongsak Dhanjaichon opened to 8,000 from early position and was called by Todd Brunson in middle position. Another player in middle position squeezed to 33,000 and Dhanjaichon called. Brunson then back-raised all in for 123,000. Action folded back to Dhanjaichon, who went deep into the tank before calling to put Bruson at risk.

Todd Brunson: A♠K♣
Narongsak Dhanjaichon: Q♠Q♣

It was a coinflip, but the J♠7♠3♠7♦3♣ runout left Dhanjaichon's queens best and Brunson was eliminated.

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Leon Sturm, who won Event #22: $50,000 High Roller earlier this summer, opened to 8,000 from early position and got a call from a player in middle position.

Both players checked the 8♣Q♠8♥ flop leading to the 3♣ turn. Sturm checked, his opponent bet 14,000 and Sturm raised to 46,000, receiving a call from his opponent.

Sturm fired again on the 3♥ river for 72,000. After about two minutes in the tank his opponent reluctantly put in the call. Sturm tabled A♥A♠ for the winner and took down a sizable pot.

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Action was joined as the money was already in. Ryan Andrada, the button, had his opponent in the small blind at risk.

Small Blind: A♠K♦
Ryan Andrada: J♥J♦

The flop was nearly as good as it could possibly be for Andrada, as the first three cards came 4♦J♠4♣ to give him a boat. The 4♥ turn gave his opponent additional outs should quad fours hit the board, but the 9♠ river came to give Andrada the win and send his opponent to the rail.
