Chan Bluffs Way Out of Event

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
John Racener
John Racener

Daniel Chan moved almost all in from the small blind with a starting stack total of 60,000 chips on the river with the board reading 1053J3 and a pot of some 35,000. He held onto a solo 500 chip.

Oliver Blithell, who was on the button, pondered the call. Eventually, he moved chips forward.

Chan tabled Q9 showing complete air, thanks to a straight draw on the turn that didn't get there.

Bithell had sniffed out the bluff, and made the call with 108, for a pair of tens with just an eight kicker.

Chan would exit the event in the next hand, as he was forced to toss in that 500 chip, a third of the small blind that he owed.

In the knockout hand, Steven Spivack raised to 6,000 in the cutoff. John Racener called from the big blind to fight for the side pot.

The flop hit 628 and both players checked.

The turn brought the Q and a bet of 8,000 from Spivack, which Racener also called.

The 4 landed on the river, putting four diamonds on the board. This prompted Racener to lead out with 23,000. Spivack folded.

Daniel Chan: 92All in
John Racener: A2

Chan had flopped a pair on his chip-and-a-chair quest, but Racener's nut-flush sent him to the rail.

Kings for Julius

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Kyle Julius opened to 6,000 in the cutoff, and Adam Hendrix made the call in the small blind. Benedetto Bianco slid out a three-bet to 23,000 from the big blind, and Julius replied with a four-bet to 50,500.

Hendrix got out of the way, and Bianco made the call. Bianco checked dark before the A105 flop, and Julius checked back. Another pair of checks followed the Q turn, and the 5 river hit the felt.

Both players opted to check it down, and Bianco tabled J10 for a pair of tens. Julius showed KK, and the pot was sent his way.

O'Connor Building a Stack

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

There were roughly 30,000 chips in the pot on 9J9210. Jamie O'Connor in the cutoff bet 9,000 and Junhyung Kim on the button quickly called. O'Connor then tabled the winner with KJ, and Kim mucked his cards.

A new player came to the table and said 'nice stack', which O'Connor responded with 'Yeah, I'm just running good'

Luo Gets River Value

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Erik Seidel opened to 7,500 on the button, and Xixiang Luo defended his big blind to the 23Q flop.

Luo checked to Seidel, who opted to check back. Another round of checks followed the A turn, and Luo watched the 4 fall on the river before betting 15,000.

Seidel took a moment before sticking in the call, and Luo turned over 75 for a wheel. Seidel sent his cards to the dealer, and Luo raked in the pot.
