Grunat Cracks Aces

Roxanne Johnson
Roxanne Johnson
Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

A player in early position limped, the middle position player raised to 3,000 and Josh Grunat made the call from the small blind. The early position player also came along. The flop was the 9♠10♣10♦ and Grunat took the lead and bet 12,000. The early position player folded and the middle position player moved all in for 19,000. Grunat had no decision and made a quick call.

The middle position player knew immediately and asked, "Do you have the ten?"

Grunat replied, "Yes".

Middle position: A♣A♦ All in
Josh Grunat: J♠10♠

The turn 3♣ and the river 8♦ did not help the aces and Grunat received a nice bonus with his trips.

A full board of 4♠7♣8♠Q♠J♣ with 20,000 chips in the middle. Alex Broad had fired a bet of 7,500 on the river and his opponent made a quick called.

"Flush," announced Broad before he flipped over J♠3♠. His opponent flashed 5♠2♠ to the table for a lower flush before she mucked her hand.

Massive Cooler on Flop

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Action was picked up on the flop between three players with the board showing 4♥5♦3♣ with Peter Alson from under the gun position all in for 20,000, another player in the small blind all in for 74,100, and Allen Jersak calling with slightly more chips to put them both at risk from the big blind.

Peter Alson: A♣2♣ All in
Small blind: 4♠4♦ All in
Allen Jersak: 5♥5♣

It was a massive cooler as the small blind and Jersak both flopped a set, and Alson flopped a wheel. When the board ran out K♥ on the turn, and 10♥ on the river, it was Alson the winner of the main pot with his flopped straight. But Jersak was able to win a big side pot with his set of fives, while also eliminating a player.

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

The player on the button limped, as did the small blind and David Blickenstaff checked from the big blind. The flop came out with 9♥2♠3♦ and the blinds both checked to the button who bet out 3,600. The small blind folded and Blickenstaff made the call.

Both players checked the 5♣ on the turn.

The river 2♦ had Blickenstaff betting 4,300 and the button called.

The button hesitated as Blickenstaff showed K♦2♣ for trips and announced, "It was the big blind special". The button mucked and indicated he was coming for Blickenstaff.

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

When it folded to John Piotrowski in the hijack, he raised to 2,300, and was called by the big blind.

The flop came 8♦J♣2♣ and both players checked to the turn.

After the 9♠ on the turn, the big blind bet out 4,100 before being raised to 9,500 by Piotrowski. The big blind elected to make the call and see a river.

The river was the A♠ and once the big checked, Piotrowski bet 13,500. After thinking over his decision, the big blind folded his hand and gave the pot to Piotrowski.

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Action was caught on the flop of Q♦9♥3♣. Bracelet-winner Susan Faber was first to act, putting in the last of her chips. She was quickly called by her opponent in the hand, Dennis Stevermer, who was in middle position.

Susan Faber: 9♠8♠All in
Dennis Stevermer: K♥K♦

Faber’s good-looking hand was good for second pair, but she needed help against Stevermer’s kings. However, the turn came the 6♥ and the 7♣, respectively, and Faber did not improve. Faber had made quite an impression with her table mates, who made it clear it was a pleasure playing with her and even gave her a round of applause as she left the tournament area.
