Li Chops with Michaud

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Vaughn Michaud
Vaughn Michaud

Action was caught from when Jiacheng Li was already all in for his last 88,000 from the small blind, and he was covered by Vaughn Michaud in the big blind.

Jiacheng Li: AKAll in
Vaughn Michaud: AQ

The pair were talking at the table and joked saying "Oh no, it's my turn to suck out." They continued to discuss a previous hand that they had played out together with similar hands in play.

Le was at risk but held the lead after seeing the 588 flop. The double-up was snatched away from Li on the 5 turn as the board double paired and both their aces played.

A 3 was placed as the river and there was minimal change in chips.

Winfield Sets Up Van Moorsel for the KO

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Antoine Winfield opened to 4,500 from middle position before Jasper van Moorsel jammed for his remaining 27,500. Winfield confirmed the count before putting in the call.

Jasper van Moorsel: AQ All in
Antoine Winfield: 77

It was a coinflip scenario as the A107 flop gave Van Moorsel top pair but Winfield a set of sevens. The 8J runout kept Winfield in front as Van Moorsel was sent to the rail.

"How does it feel to flop sets every time you have pocket sevens?" a tablemate jokingly asked Winfield, who smiled as he stacked his newfound chips.

Sechopoulos Struggles to Find Fold

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Peter Sechopoulos raised to 4,000 from the hijack. Jeremy Dresch called on the button.

When the flop hit J4K, Dresch bet 14,000, and Sechopoulos called. The 6 turn brought a bet of 25,000 from Dresch and a seemingly reluctant call after a decent tank by Sechopoulos.

The 5 landed on the river, bringing in possible flushes and straights. Dresch immediately shoved all in with a covering stack.

Sechopoulos, who had 28,500 chips left, went into an extended tank of more than six minutes before letting his hand go.

Mauldin Coolers Crema

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Sebastian Crema bet 8,500 from under the gun on a flop of 583 and Collin Mauldin called in the big blind.

The turn was the 2 and Mauldin led out for 16,500. Crema called, and the 8 fell on the river.

Mauldin slowed down and checked, and Crema bet 43,000. Mauldin snap-called, and Crema showed J10 for a flush. Mauldin, though, turned over K4 and won the pot with his king-high flush.
