Tribble’s Top Set Secures Pot

Livello 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Kevin Tribble raised 900 under the gun and received calls from the player to his immediate left and the button.

The dealer fanned 9♠2♣Q♥, which drew a check from the player in the big blind. Tribble continued with 3,000, prompting the player to his left to fold. The big blind, however, flatted.

The A♣ appeared on the turn, which both players checked. The K♣ showed up on the river and the player in the big blind led out with 2,800. Tribble immediately sat up in his chair and studied the board. He then made the call and his opponent showed 9♣6♥ for a pair of nines. Tribble tabled A♦A♥ for top set.

Tribble’s opponent chuckled seeing what he bet into.

“I should’ve raised you,” Tribble said with a laugh.

Livello 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

A player from middle position bet 1,000 and Jenerik Faulhaber called from the button.

Action was checked to Faulhaber on the J♠7♣6♠ flop and he opted to bet for 1,100. The middle position player made the call.

The turn came the 5♥ and the player in middle position check-called a 3,500 bet from Faulhaber.

Action was once again checked back to Faulhaber on the 9♣ river and he bet once more, this time for 7,000. His opponent asked to see how many chips Faulhaber had behind and considered his options for about 40 seconds before making the fold, awarding Faulhaber a decent pot without him having to go to showdown.

Livello 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

The hijack bet 1,000 and received calls from the button and the small blind. Jun Obara made a huge shove for 40,100 from the big blind.

The three other players folded in unison and Obara tabled 10♥10♦ who gestured that they didn't want to play a multiway pot with that hand.

Meanwhile on a neighboring table, Perry Friedman was seen standing up and gathering their belongings, then headed to the exit.

Livello 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Adam Mclaughlin opened to 1,000 from under the gun and a player in middle position three-bet to 2,300. A player in the button called, as did McLaughlin.

The flop came 10♣9♠K♣ and Mclaughlin checked. The middle position player bet 5,000, folding out the player on the button. Mclaughlin check-raised to 14,000 and the middle position player moved all in for about 36,000. McLaughlin quickly called to put his opponent at risk.

Middle Position: A♥K♠
Adam McLaughlin: K♦10♦

Mclaughlin had his opponent's top pair crushed with top two-pair. The turn and river offered no improvement to the player in middle position, who was sent to the rail early as McLaughlin collected a sizable early pot.

His opponent tapped the table and showed he had K♥.

Vener explained that he raised preflop and his opponent called. Vener then said his opponent bet 4,000 on the flop and he called. The turn, which gave Vener quads, was checked before the river, where Vener doubled up.
