Swart Dropped by Hackney

Level 4 : 200/400, 400 ante
Dale Hackney
Dale Hackney

A player from late position raised to 900 and found two callers before Bruce Swart three-bet jammed for 2,500 on the button.

After the blinds folded, all three players called and the {5-Spades}{3-Hearts}{q-Spades}{j-Spades} board was checked down to the {3-Clubs} river.

Action was checked to Dale Hackney who fired out 1,000 into the dry pot from the cutoff, the initial raiser folded while the hijack player called.

Swart held {a-Spades}{9-Diamonds} but it was no good as Hackney showed {q-Clubs}{7-Clubs} to win the pot with two-pair.

Brian Tuenge
Brian Tuenge

The player in middle position opened for 900 and found three callers that saw a {9-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} flop.

Action was checked to Dapo Ajayi who fired out 2,000 from late position and only Brian Tuenge called from the cutoff.

The dealer dropped the {3-Spades} on the turn, Ajayi check-called Tuenge's 2,900 bet and the {q-Hearts} paired the board on the river.

Ajayi checked one last time only to be sent into the tank after Tuenge fired out 9,500. After a few minutes, Ajayi called and quickly folded after Tuenge rolled over {q-Clubs}{3-Clubs} for a full boat.
