Nielsen Doubles With Quads Over Flush

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 12 : Blinds 0/0, 2,500 ante

On a flop of Q♥9♥6♠, Dong Chen and Martin Nielsen got all of the chips in the middle, with Nielsen at risk.

Martin Nielsen: 6♣6♦
Dong Chen: 8♥10♥

Nielsen was currently ahead with his set of sixes, but he was only a 55% favorite against Chen's massive straight and flush combo draw.

The turn came the 6♥, and Nielsen groaned as Chen hit the flush, but then he realized he had quad sixes! But he still wasn't out of the woods yet, as Chen could still hit the 7♥ or J♥ for a straight flush.

Fortunately for Nielsen, the river came the brick Q♦ and he scored a massive double-up from Chen.

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 12 : Blinds 0/0, 2,500 ante

Martin Zamani limped in from early position and Ryan Riess moved all in for 17,500 in the cutoff. John Juanda made the call on the button and Zamani came along as well.

The flop fanned out Q♥Q♦7♠ and Zamani led out for 10,000, which Juanda called. On the A♥ turn Zamani bet again, this time for 20,000 and Juanda called.

The 7♦ completed the board and both played tapped the table to a showdown. Zamani rolled over 8♥8♦ for a pair of eights, but Juanda tabled K♠Q♠ for a full house to take the pot. Riess revealed A♠K♣ as he made his way to the exit.

The remaining 16 players are in the money and guaranteed a min-cash of at least $16,792.

Chen Knocks Out Petitti

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 12 : Blinds 0/0, 2,500 ante

Dong Chen opened to 11,000 preflop and Hong Wei Yu made the call as well as Nicholas Petitti, which put him all in.

Chen and Yu checked all the way to the 7♠K♥Q♥8♠A♣ river, but then Yu exposed A♠10♣ before Chen had a chance to act.

Chen then bet 25,000 and Yu quickly folded.

"Well, that's probably not good for you," Tablemate Eric Wasserson said to Petitti as they waited for the other table to finish, "If you can't beat ace-ten, you are in bad shape, there is no reason for him to bluff, no side pot."

"I have straight," Chen told Petitti, who did not look too happy to hear that. When the floor came over the two tabled their cards. Nicholas Petitti showed A♥10♠ for the same hand as Yu but then Dong Chen tabled 6♠9♠ for the bottom straight on the river to win the pot, eliminating Petitti near the bubble.

Juanda Calls Zamani's Bluff

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 12 : Blinds 0/0, 2,500 ante

On a flop of A♥Q♥6♣, John Juanda led out for 15,000 and only Martin Zamani stuck around to see a turn K♦.

Juanda then checked and Zamani checked back for them to see the Q♣ appear on the river. Juanda bet 28,000 but then Zamani announced a raise to 112,000 and the pressure was back on Juanda.

After about 15 seconds of thought, Juanda set out the chips to make the call.

"You're good," Zamani sighed and tossed out 9♣8♠ for nine-high and Juanda then flipped over Q♠7♣ for trip queens to take down the substantial pot.
