A Motley Pot

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 3 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

A total of three players were all in preflop; early position had 9,400 left from their starting stack, middle position had 9,400, and Todd Hatch put them both at risk with a dominating stack.

Early Position: A♥K♥K♦Q♣
Middle Position: A♦A♣9♥4♥
Todd Hatch: 6♦6♠7♥4♦

Middle Position was ahead preflop with a big pair, but Hatch had plenty of boards that could favor him. This ended up being the case when the flop fell, 10♣6♣8x, flopping Hatch a set. The turn brought a 9x, which had the early position player rooting for a jack to make a straight and the middle position player needed an ace to pull ahead.

The river paired the board with the 10♦ and Hatch was awarded the pot.

Hatch can also be credited with the title of this post.

Livello 3 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

"Tiny House" Tom Ulch led out 3,000 from the small blind on an action flop of J♣Q♦10♣ and Martin Carnero called.

Ulch ceded the lead on a 2♦ turn, and Carnero bet 1,000. Ulch checked again when the river came 9♥, and Carnero moved all in, covering Ulch. Ulch grimaced and folded.

"Nice hand," said another player at the table.

"Yeah, nice hand, you b*****d," said Ulch, then paused before saying, "I mean that in the nicest possible way."

"Don't worry," replied Carnero. "It's a long day. We will be able to talk as much sh*t as we want."
