Chambers Gets Three Quarters

Ryan Lashmar

Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Walter Chambers opened to 475,000 from the small blind and Caleb Furth defended from the big blind.

Both players checked the 8♣5♦3♦ flop leading to the 5♣ turn. Chambers bet 650,000 and Furth called.

Chambers bet again for 900,000 on the 6♦ river. Furth took a minute to weigh his options, counting out the remaining chips that he would have if he called and got scooped. Shortly afterwards he made the call.

Furth tabled A♠8♥9♥9♦ for an overpair and eight-six low. Chambers showed down A♣Q♦J♠5♠ for trip fives and the same low to take three quarters of the pot.

Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Caleb Furth raised to 375,000 on the button and was called by Walter Chambers in the big blind.

Chambers check-called a 225,000 bet from Furth on the K♦A♦Q♣ flop and a 700,000 barrel from Furth on the 2♣ turn.

Both players checked on the K♥ river and Chambers turned over K♣6♣2♠2♦ for kings-full. Furth couldn’t beat it and mucked — conceding the pot to Chambers.

Level 30 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Caleb Furth limped in from the small blind and Jiyang Gan checked from the big blind.

The flop came Q♥J♣7♠ and Furth check-called a 160,000 bet from Gan.

Furth check-called another bet from Gan on the 8♣ turn, this time for 300,000.

On the 10♠ river Furth led out with a bet of 1,300,000. Gan thought for about a minute before sending his hand into the muck and Furth took the pot without showdown.

Level 30 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Caleb Furth opened to 375,000 on the button and was called by Walter Chambers in the big blind.

Both players checked on the Q♣4♦4♥ flop and then Chambers led out for 700,000 on the 8♥ turn. Furth called.

The 5♦ completed the board and Chambers announced a pot-sized bet, which was quickly called by Furth.

Chambers tabled K♥Q♥Q♠3♠ for queens-full of fours, which was good for the scoop against Furth’s A♥J♣8♦4♠ for an inferior full house.

Caleb Furth	17,000,000 -2,000,000	-2,000,000

Level 30 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Jiyang Gan opened to 350,000 from the cutoff and Andreas Frohli defended from the big blind.

The flop came 3♥10♣5♠. Frohli moved all in for around 700,000 and Gan called with a covering stack to put Frohli at risk.

Andreas Frohli: J♠J♦9♣8♣ All in
Jiyang Gan: A♣10♦9♦5♦

The rest of the board ran out 10♠2♠. Neither player had a low and Gan's full house was good at showdown to send Frohli to the rail in fourth place and take down another sizable pot.

Andreas Frohli opened to 325,000 from the button and Jiyang Gan made a pot-sized raise to 1,135,000. Frohli made the call.

The rest of the chips quickly got in the middle on the 10♥7♠6♠ flop with Gan having about 1,400,000 behind and Frohli covering him.

Jiyang Gan: A♥10♣4♥3♣ All in
Andreas Frohli: A♣5♠2♦2♣

The rest of the board ran out Q♥9♥. No low was possible and Gan had gone runner runner to make the nut-flush and take the pot while Frohli was left with around ten big blinds.

The $25K Fantasy league is off to a hot start with seven of the 19 teams over 100 points as of June 4.
