Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

A player from early position raised to 400 and was called by a player in middle position. Nick Blackburn three-bet to 1,700 from the cutoff, which the early position player called and the middle position player folded.

The flop came 5♥J♣2♣ and the player in early position check-called the bet of 2,000.

After the turn came with the 6♦, both players checked to the river.

The river was the K♦ and after the early position player checked, Blackburn bet 2,000 and was quickly called. Blackburn tabled A♣K♥ for top pair, top kicker, and his opponent mucked his hand.

The table also relayed info about the first hand of the tournament, when Mark Brennan eliminated a player after flopping quad queens. Brennan and his opponent got all the chips in on the turn, when his opponent needed a K♥ for a royal flush. The river gave Brennan a sweat when it came the K♦, but his quads were still best and he doubled up on the first hand of the tournament.

Sardella Turns a Straight Flush

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

With around 4,000 chips in the pot and a board that read 5♠8♠7♦4♠, Jeff Sardella had checked to the player in the hijack, who bet 5,000. Sardella then shoved his stack of 18,000 into the middle, and the hijack snap-called for 14,000 total.

Hijack: K♠Q♠ All in
Jeff Sardella: 7♠6♠

The entire table was in disbelief that Sardella had turned a straight flush, which left the hijack drawing dead. A meaningless J♠ completed the board and Sardella was pushed the pot, which sent his opponent to the rail early on.
