Coppens Takes a Hit From Pochat, Recovers Quickly

Livello 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Haven Werner raised to 1,500 from under the gun, which was reraised to 3,600 by Manuel Pochat in middle position. Jen Coppens, two seats to his left, called, as did Werner.

The flop fell K♠2♦6♥. Werner and Pochat checked and Coppens bet 5,050. Werner folded but Pochat came along for the ride.

Pochat checked the Q♠ turn and Coppens bet again, for 8,000. Pochat called once more. The river came the 7♣ and was checked by both players. Coppens showed AxKx but Pochat tabled Q♥Q♣ to take the pot.

A few hands later, Coppens was involved again — check-calling from under the gun, on a flop of 9♥4♣A♦. Coppens checked again on a turn of 7♣ and called a bet of 4,000.

The river came the K♣. Coppens bet out 5,000, got the call and tabled A♣9♠, which was good enough to take the pot.

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Action was opened under the gun by Kasey Mills to 1,000. The action folded to the button who flat called and the small blind folded. It was then on the big blind who took a moment and ultimately opted to put in the cold three-bet to 5,000. Mills called and the button came along as well. The players were off to a flop three ways.

The J♥2♥K♠ flop hit the felt and the big blind continued with a bet of 7,000. Mills was next to act and took her time before gather a raise to the tune of 17,500 and putting it in the middle. The button got out of the way and the big blind went into the tank. After significant time had passed the big blind announced he was all in with Mills having him covered by just a few thousand. Mills snap called.

The cards hit their back.

Big Blind: A♥A♣
Kasey Mills: J♠J♦

Mills was in great shape but the 5♥ turn brought in a bunch of new outs in the form of a flush draw for her opponent's aces. Fortunately, the river landed a clean 9♦ and Mills would send her opponent to the rail early in Day 1 while dragging in a pile of chips.

Livello 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Ryan Brown was nice enough to relay a hand history that conspired on his table:

Alan Dworetsky raised 1,100 under the gun and Kevin Oharra three-bet to 3,500 from a couple of spots to his left. The action folded back around to Dworetsky and he made the call.

The flop came KxJx2x and Dworetsky check-called a bet of 2,000 from Oharra.

The 2x fell on the turn and Dworetsky check-called again, this time for 10,000.

The Kx double-paired the board and Dworetsky jammed all-in for 70,000. Kevin Oharra had him only slightly covered and tank-folded A♥K♠ face up. Dworetsky couldn't believe what he was seeing and showed 2x2x for quad twos.
