Whittington Loses to Stemmler

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

Blake Whittington raised to 250 from mid-position and was called by Neil Stemmler in the hijack and Christopher Marion in the big blind.

The flop came {10-Spades}{2-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}, Marion checked, Whittington bet 200 and only Stemmler called.

The turn brought them the {q-Spades}, Whittington now check-called the 600 bet of Stemmler.

The {3-Spades} completed the board on the river on which both players checked. Whittington showed {k-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} for the flopped pair of tens. Semmler had him beat though with {a-Clubs}{x-} for at least the flopped top pair.

The board read {J-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} and there were about 325 in the middle when we got to the table. The big blind checked to his lone opponent, Men Nguyen, who was in the hijack. Nguyen bet 100 and the big blind called.

The {6-Spades} hit the river and the big blind checked. Nguyen bet 500, his opponent called, and Nguyen tabled {3-Hearts}{3-Spades} for a flopped set that improved to a boat on the river. The big blind mucked and Nguyen took the chips.

The flop read {k-Spades}{2-Spades}{2-Hearts} and there was around 1,600 in the middle already. Both the player in the small blind and Dara O'Kearney in the under-the-gun position checked.

The turn brought them the {j-Hearts}, O'Kearney's opponent check-called the 500 bet of O'Kearney.

The river completed the board with the {k-Clubs} and they both checked again. The small blind showed {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} for the two pair on the board with the ace-kicker. But O'Kearney tabled {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} for the higher two pair to take down the pot.
