Hallay Gets Above Starting

Livello 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Axel Hallay was involved in a pot of 3,500 chips against the neighbor on his left. Hallay was in the cutoff and checked to his opponent on the button, who bet 2,500 chips thereafter, on a board that read 2♦3♥Q♦A♠. Hallay made the call and the 9♣ river completed the board.

Hallay now elected to lead out for 3,000, eventually receiving a reluctant call from his opponent.

"I've got an ace," the latter claimed, but the cards would hit the muck as soon as Hallay tabled his A♥J♥.

Livello 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

David Berman raised to 600 from under the gun and was called by Steven Buckner from early position, the player in the cutoff, and both players in the blinds.

The flop came 3♥A♣8♥ and action checked to Berman, who continued for 1,200. Buckner and the small blind called.

Action checked to Buckner on the 6♣ turn and he fired 9,000 into the middle. Only Berman called.

Berman checked to Buckner once more when the 2♣ completed the board and he bombed 21,000 into the middle. Berman quickly called and Buckner tabled 8♠6♥ for two pair. It was no good, however, against the 8♦8♣ of Berman for a set of eights.

"What a brutal turn," Buckner fumed as Berman collected the pot.

Koon Runs into Full House

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

The turn read Q♣J♦10♥3♣ and Bogdan Tudor checked to Jason Koon who put out a pot-sized bet of 8,000. Tudor went into the tank for about 30 seconds before making the call.

The 10♠ paired the board on the river and Tudor checked. Koon said, "That wasn't the one I was looking for," before checking back himself.

Tudor gave Koon a look to open first and Koon said, "That's not how this works."

Turdor opened J♣J♠ for a full house and Koon mucked his hand, while claiming to have missed the nut flush draw.

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

A player limped in middle position, as did another player in the cutoff. In the small blind, Clement Richez raised to 1,100. The first limper called, but the big blind and the second limper folded.

On 3♥A♦4♠, Richez continued to 1,500. He was called a first time, then a second time for 5,000 chips on the turn 8♦.

The Q♣ landed on the river and Richez fired a third barrel of 8,000. This time it was too much for his opponent, who folded.

The river was the Q♣ and Botfeld checked, followed by a quick check behind from Sole.

"Ace-high," Botfeld announced, tabling A♥8♥. Sole showed his J♥J♣ and his hooks reeled in the pot.

On a heads-up completed board of 10♣2♥Q♦3♠K♠, Dusti Smith led out for 4,500 and her opponent, Brian Schaffer, went into the tank.

"I know I'm in second place, but I have to call," he said eventually as he threw in the chips.

Smith then showed him J♠9♠ for a rivered straight and he nodded his head as if he already knew and he tossed 2♦2♣ into the muck.

Livello 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Cole Ferraro opened to 500 from under the gun and picked up two callers along the way. The flop came A♠A♣4♥ and the action checked to the hijack who bet 800 and only Ferraro called.

The turn was the 7♥ and both players checked to the 3♠ on the river. Ferraro led out with a bet of 1,000 and his opponent quickly called. Ferraro turned over J♠J♥ and his opponent was unable to beat it.

On the next hand, the cutoff raised to 700 and Ferraro defended from the big blind. The flop fell 6♠5♦3♥ and Ferraro checked to his opponent who bet 600. Ferraro check-raised to 2,500 and his opponent countered with a three-bet to 6,000. Ferraro thought for a brief moment but decided to lay his hand down.
