Bailleul Dodges the River to Double

David Salituro

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Four-handed on a flop of 4♥9♦10♦, Romain Bailleul bet 2,000 from middle position and Daniel Samson called in the cutoff, as did an opponent in the big blind.

The turn was the 3♠ and Bailleul bet 5,000. Samson then raised to 20,000 and the big blind folded, while Bailleul snap-called for his last 19,700.

He showed A♦10♠ for top pair, while Samson had 5♦2♦ for straight and flush draws. Samson missed all his draws on the Q♣ river and Bailleul held on to double up.

The A♦ on the turn got checked through for the K♣ to appear on the river. Benyacov bet 3,500 and Lockhart quickly called. Benyacov turned over A♥10♠ and took down the pot with a pair of aces.

On a nearby table, Josh Arieh was seen leaving the tournament area and has busted the WSOP Main Event.

Liam Gannon

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Bob Mather raised to 800 from the cutoff and the button and both blinds came along.

The flop rolled out Q♣8♣6♣ and action checked over to Mather who bet 1,500 which only the button called.

On the turn K♦ Mather bet 2,000 and was called again with action checking through on the river Q♦.

Mather turned over A♣A♦ for aces up which was good for the pot as a tablemate commented "that's the third time you've had aces today."

"And I'm below starting stack," responded Mather "what does that say about me?"
