Jeremy Brown Straightens Out

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

The board read {Q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{J-Spades} and Jeremy Brown was facing a bet of 1,500 from the big blind. Brown raised to 3,000 and his opponent called. The river was the {A-Clubs} and the action was checked to Brown who bet 5,000. His opponent showed him his cards before doing anything, while Brown sat in silence and didn't move. Eventually his opponent called and Brown tabled {10-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} for a straight and the dealer pushed him another pot.

Quads Are a Good Aces Cracker

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Tom Hall raised to 2,400 from under the gun and his opponent three-bet him to 5,900. Hall called and the two players went heads up to the flop.

The dealer fanned the {K-Spades}{10-Spades}{7-Clubs} and Hall checked to his opponent who bet 7,700. Hall clicked the check button on his laptop as he was grinding some online poker, and then raised to 17,800. His opponent quickly went all -in and Hall called even faster for 55,600. Hall tabled {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}, which was ahead of his opponent's {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}. The turn was the {4-Spades} and the river was the {10-Diamonds}, giving Hall quad tens and a massive double-up right before the money bubble.

Big Hands on Table #150 Results in Five-Way All-In

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

The hand was completed but there were lots of chips to count after a five-way all-in preflop. The player under-the-gun shipped all-in with pocket tens, the next player also went all-in with ace-king. There was a player after him who pushed all-in with pocket jacks. The player on the button looked down at pocket queens and said, sure why not, pushed all-in as well. Frederico Butteroni was watching all of this happen from the big blind. It was his turn to act and he was cheering for the aces. What do you know, the {A-Spades}{A-Clubs} showed up and he joined the party pushing his remaining chips in the pot as well!

The dealer spread the board of {J-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{5-Clubs} and it would be the pocket jacks taking down a smaller main pot. Fredrico Butteroni had 46,500 more than him to start the hand, and after stacking up a huge side pot he now sits comfortably around the 100,000 mark.
