Chip Counts From Half the Room

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante

Level: 5

Blinds: 200/400

Ante: 400

Hudson Three-Bets from Big Blind

Level 4 : 100/300, 300 ante

The player under the gun flung out an open of 800, which the players in the hijack and on the button called. Mario Hudson had different plans for the hand, three-betting to 3,800 from the big blind. The initial raiser folded, as did the hijack, and the button counted down his own stack before eventually calling.

The flop came down {a-Clubs}{q-Spades}{8-Hearts}, and Hudson asked to see his opponent's chips, which covered his own, before continuing for 6,000. The button mucked, later asking, "Did you have queens?" Hudson didn't respond.

A Few New Faces

Level 4 : 100/300, 300 ante

Riley's Kings Earn a Double Through Hawkins

Level 4 : 100/300, 300 ante

Garrett Riley raised to 700 from middle position, then called a three-bet to 2,100 from Maurice Hawkins in the hijack.

Riley checked the {2-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{2-Spades} flop to Hawkins, who bet 2,900. Riley check-raised to 7,900, and Hawkins three-bet shoved. Riley instantly called off his 27,900 stack.

Garrett Riley: {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts}
Maurice Hawkins: {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}

Riley was looking to fade an ace to earn the double, and did just that on the {9-Spades} turn and {j-Hearts} river.

Massey's Kicker Makes the Difference

Level 4 : 100/300, 300 ante
Ralph Massey
Ralph Massey

Ralph Massey raised to 700 from early position, and was called by the hijack, as well as Pratap Golla in the small blind. Golla checked the {j-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} flop to Massey, who bet 700. The hijack folded, but Golla check-raised to 2,100. Massey called.

Golla bet 2,800 on the {3-Hearts} turn, and Massey called again.

The {k-Diamonds} fell on the river, and Golla bet 4,500. Massey instantly called, and after Golla tabled {j-Diamonds}{10-Spades}, Massey rolled over {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts} and took down the pot.

Janssen Jams on Izadi

Level 4 : 100/300, 300 ante

George Janssen raised to 700 from middle position, and former Detroit Lions tight end Eric Stocz called on the button. Hamid Izadi three-bet to 2,700 from the small blind, and Janssen thought for a moment before four-bet shoving for 8,800. Stocz folded, and Izadi had a decision to make.

"I would've called if you had shoved quickly," Izadi said, pondering to himself for a moment before tossing {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} up on the felt, folding.

Jennings Way Behind, Drills It for a Knockout

Level 4 : 100/300, 300 ante
Greg Jennings
Greg Jennings

Under-the-gun player Albert Morrow open-jammed 4,700—just shy of 16 big blinds—and headed to a flop with his tournament life at risk versus his only caller, Greg Jennings in the small blind.

Albert Morrow: {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}
Greg Jennings: {4-Hearts}{4-}

Jennings yelled, "Chop!" on the {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{j-Spades} flop, which became more likely on the {k-Spades} turn. The river, however, brought the {4-Diamonds}, giving Jennings a set and forcing him to accept the victory instead.

"Prince" Leaves Saleh Short

Level 4 : 100/300, 300 ante
Jean Gaspard
Jean Gaspard

Season XV HPT Vicksburg champ Yousef Saleh limped in from middle position, then called a raise to 1,000 from WSOP bracelet winner Jean "Prince" Gaspard on the button.

Saleh checked the {4-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} flop over to Gaspard, who announced a bet of 2,300. Saleh called.

The {10-Diamonds} turn and {k-Diamonds} river were checked down, and Saleh said, "Four," without showing his hand.

Gaspard tabled {j-Spades}{8-Hearts} for a pair of eights, and Saleh mucked.
