Harding Wins With Full House

Livello 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

A player in middle position raised to 2,400 and received three callers; from the late position, the hijack and the cutoff. The flop came out with J♠J♥K♥ and the middle position player checked, the late position player bet 6,000 and Ray Harding in the hijack three-bet all in to 11,000. Everyone folded except the late position player who called.

Ray Harding: J♣8♣ All in
Late position player: A♦K♣

The turn was the 8♥ which essentially sealed the deal for Harding with his full house and the river 9♦ did not change that result as Harding gained some chips.

Livello 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Action folded to a player in the cutoff who raised all in for 4,600. It folded to the small blind Eric Smith who called to put the player at risk. Once the big blind folded the players were heads up.

Cutoff: A♣J♦ All in
Eric Smith: A♥Q♦

Smith had his opponent dominated and after the flop that came 4♥Q♣8♥ his opponent would need running cards to stay in the tournament. The turn brought the J♥ that did keep the player in the cutoff alive to the river, but after the Q♠ improved Smith to trips, he was officially eliminated.

Olsen Flops a Miracle to Stay Alive

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

A player from early position limped in, before Gisle Olsen raised to 3,200, and was called by the big blind. The player in early position then three-bet all in to 10,100, when Olsen four-bet all in to 15,600. The big blind snapped called, giving us three players with two all in.

Early Position: A♦Q♠ All in
Gisle Olsen: J♠J♣ All in
Big Blind: K♠K♥

The big blind set the trap perfectly with his pocket kings, poised for the double elimination. But when the flop came 6♠8♣J♥ it was Olsen with the best hand with his set of jacks. The 5♥ on the turn left the player in early position drawing dead, and the 2♠ on the river officially eliminated him, and Olsen scooped the main and side pot.
