Borella Applying Max Pressure

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Steven Borella raised in early position to 48,000, which was called by the big blind.

The flop came 6310 which both players checked.

On the turn was the Q which the big blind checked over to Borella, who bet out 50,000. The blind then decided to raise to 150,000 before Borella instantly three-bet all in for the big blind's last 200,000 chips. After sitting in the tank for over a minute, the big blind laid his hand down.

Thomas Over a Million

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

On a J1065 turn Joe Cada was in a hand against Aaron Thomas.

Thomas had bet 60,000 and Cada had raised out of position to 200,000. Thomas called.

The river was the 4. Cada checked.

"Damn Joe," said Thomas, before checking behind. Cada showed A4 for a missed flush draw and a rivered pair of fours, but it wasn't enough as Thomas showed Q10 for a pair of tens and won the pot.

Greenberg

Level 20 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Button: K4All in
Matt Greenberg: KQ

The button was looking to improve on the turn and river but the J and 6 was no good and the opponent walked away from the table.

Branchen More Than Doubles; Eliminates a Player

Level 20 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

A player from early position moved all in for 64,000. Matt Bond called before Clinton Branchen three-bet all in from the big blind for 240,000. With the action back on Bond, he thought before calling to put two players at risk.

Early position: 44 All in
Clinton Branchen: AJ All in
Matt Bond: 87

The flop Q106 gave both Bond and Branchen a gutshot straight draw. The turn K completed Branchen's straight with the 4 giving the third player in the hand a set, but it wasn't enough as he was eliminated and Branchen doubled through Bond.
