Pincombe Doubles With the Ladies

Kirk Brown
Kirk Brown
Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

The under-the-gun player opened to 3,000 but then Gregory Pincombe three-bet to 16,000 and action folded around to Fudong Li on the button. He then decided to four-bet jam for around 150,000 and the under-the-gun player quickly folded while Pincombe made the call to put himself at risk.

Gregory Pincombe: Q♠Q♣
Fudong Li: A♣K♥

Pincombe was ahead going into this flippo de classico, and the runout of 5♥10♥6♣4♠10♦ kept it that was as he was awarded the pot for a big double-up.

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

On a heads-up flop of 10♥10♦4♠, Jaime Haletky led out for 8,000 and was called by Philip Gavrilov to see the turn 4♣.

Haletkuy then tossed out a bet of 25,000, covering Gavrilov, who shrugged and quickly made the call to post himself at risk.

Philip Gavrilov: J♠10♠
Jaime Haletky: A♠Q♥

"Wow, you have such a wide range, but every time I'm against you, you make a full house!" Haletky was not pleased to find out he was drawing dead as the board completed with the 9♦ to award Gavrilov the pot.

Platt Applies Pressure for Profitable Pickup

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

The late position player opened to 2,500 and the button and small blind made the call, but then Jeff Platt in the big blind did not think the price was quite high enough so he moved all in for around 60,000.

One by one his opponents fell as they dared not cross his path and the pot was pushed his way for a nice pickup.

The Deck is Riddled with Aces

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Michael Riddle moved all in preflop for around 20,000 and Daniel Turner made the call to put him at risk.

"Hope you don't have much," Turner said as he flipped over 7♣7♦, to which Riddle responded by tabling A♦K♥ for a flip.

The board ran out 3♠4♥10♥A♣9♦ to give Riddle an ace on the turn to keep him alive for the double-up while the table came to the consensus that almost every ace and king was accounted for so he hit his only out.

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

On a heads-up flop of A♣K♥4♣, Richard Troendly in the cutoff checked to Deven Cannon on the button, who bet 6,00 into the pot of 18,000. Troendly quickly called and the two went to the turn 2♥.

Troendly the decided to lead out for 10,000 into the aggressor, who responded by moving all in for 26,100 more (36,100 total).

This sent Troendly into the tank, and after some evaluation, he decided to let it go and the pot was pushed over to Cannon.

Counterfeit Still Good for Peling

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

On a flop of A♥2♠4♠, Zephyr Peling led out for 5,000 and was called by Joe Nguyen to see the 4♦ on the turn.

Both players then checked and went to the river, which came the 5♦. Peling then tossed out a bet of 10,000 and Nguyen thought for a decent amount of time before he tossed out chips to make the call.

Peling then shrugged and flipped over A♦2♣ for a flopped two-pair but ended up with aces and fours. Nevertheless, this was still good as Nguyen slid his cards into the muck and the pot was pushed over to Peling.
