Setback for Hawkins

Tyler Foran

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Three players saw the 8♠5♠2♥3♥ turn. Igor Yaroshevskyy was in the small blind and checked to the big blind, who fired 2,200 into the pot of about 8,500. Maurice Hawkins was on the button and raised to 6,500 before Yaroshevskyy checked-raised to 15,000. The big blind quickly folded, but Hawkins stuck around with a call.

The 5♣ landed on the river, and Yaroshevskyy continued for 25,500, putting Hawkins in a tough decision. Hawkins went deep into the tank, taking a little over three minutes as he talked to himself. Eventually, he apologized to the table and mucked his hand.

Dan O'Hair

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Heads-up on a board of K♦2♥4♦6♦ with several thousand already in the middle, John Iemolo checked from the small blind and Tony Miles bet 18,000. Iemolo called.

The 2♠ completed the board and Iemolo checked again. Miles quickly fired 42,000 into the middle, which sent Iemolo deep into the tank.

Iemolo eventually tossed in a call and Miles could only show A♦Q♥.

Iemolo turned over K♥Q♦ for kings-up and was sent the large pot.

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Eugene Ward check-jammed into a bet by Shachar Haran from under the gun and a call with the flop showing Q♣7♣3♣. Once both opponents folded, Ward tabled the Q♥7♠ for flopped two pair.

One table over, Artem Metalidi was in the tank on the 6♣4♥2♥J♦Q♠ river. He faced a bet worth 8,400 and reluctantly sent his cards into the muck to drop below one third of the starting stack.

Nick Becker

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

The under-the-gun player raised to 1,200, Martin Malone flatted in early position, and Nicholas Rigby three-bet shoved all in for 11,300 in late position, putting himself at risk. Under the gun, who covered both of his opponents, reshoved to isolate and Malone made the call, who had 24,600 to start the hand.

Nicholas Rigby: J♦J♠ All in
Martin Malone: Q♦Q♥ All in
Under the gun: 10♦10♠

The board ran out 9♣7♦Q♠9♦10♥, and Malone scooped both the main and side pots with a full house, queens full of nines.

Another deep run in the Main Event was not in the cards for Rigby this year, who was sent to the rail.

Reid Chips Up

Tim Baker

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

There was a raise from the hijack to 1,000. Terrance Reid called from the cutoff before the button three-bet to 4,200. The big blind cold-called but the initial raiser folded. Reid called and they went to the flop three-way.

The action checked through on the A♥5♦J♣ flop to see the 6♠ come on the turn. After the big blind checked, Reid bet 4,200 and only the button made the call.

The 10♦ on the river saw Reid fire out a bet of 7,000. The player on the button went deep into the tank, eventually getting the clock called on him by another player. Ultimately, he settled on a fold, and Reid dragged in the pot.
