Bloch Prompts a Mandel River Fold

Level 6 : 300/600, 100 ante

From under the gun, Andy Bloch opened to 1,400 and Kin Wong called on the button, as did Kris Lozano and Lloyd Mandel from the blinds.

The flop fell {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{4-Clubs} and after a Lozano check, Mandel bet out 2,300. Bloch raised to 7,000 and both Wong and Lozano folded as Mandel called.

The turn of the {A-Spades} went check, check, as the dealer delivered the {8-Hearts} on the river.

Mandel checked, Bloch bet 20,000 and Mandel folded. Bloch is now up to 53,000 in chips.

Shannon Shorr Doubles Up

Level 6 : 300/600, 100 ante

Following a flop of {7-Hearts}{6-Spades}{4-Hearts} with about 10,000 in the pot, a player in middle position checked to Shannon Shorr on the button and he bet about 5,300. The middle-position player effectively raised to 26,100 and Shorr called all in with {Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades}, leading his opponent's {J-Clubs}{J-Spades}.

The {K-Diamonds} turn and {9-Diamonds} river completed the board, safe for Shorr to double up.

Soverel Doubles; Merda Chips Up

Level 6 : 300/600, 100 ante
Sam Soverel
Sam Soverel

Sam Soverel three-bet shoved out of the big blind and his opponent quickly called with {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}. Soverel had two over cards with {K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} and got there on the river of a board {A-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{2-Spades}{5-Spades}{K-Spades}. That brought Soverel's stack up to more than half the starting stack.

At the same time on a different table, Igor Merda faced two limpers and raised to 2,500 on the button. John Bonora as one of the limpers was the only caller and checked the {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{4-Spades} flop. Merda continued for 2,200 and Bonora called before announcing a check in the dark. Merda bet the {4-Diamonds} turn for 5,000 and Bonora folded with the words "nice hand."

Eight-High Like a Boss for Rini

Level 6 : 300/600, 100 ante

"Let's make a decision ok?" blurts out Robert Rini.

The board read {Q-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{A-Spades}{K-Hearts}{9-Hearts} and there was 11,000 in the middle with Rini having a bet of 20,000 in front of him.

Grayson Nichols was deliberating about what to do before he eventually opted on a fold.

Rini was pushed the pot and immediately tabled his {8-Spades}{5-Diamonds} for just eight-high to move to over 100,000 in chips.
