"This Game Sucks."

[user340093]

Nível 15 : 6,000/12,000, 1,500 ante

Matt Grapenthien, James Obst and Yordan Petrov all made it to fifth street with big pot brewing in the middle.

Grapenthien bet when it got checked to him but both Obst and Petrov called. Petrov and Grapenthien both received an ace on sixth while Obst's board hit a third Broadway card with the .

The round was checked and so was the river.

"Queens?" Petrov's tone inclined more to a question than a statement as he was trying to figure out whether he had any chance to scoop the pot with just a pair of queens. Both Grapenthien and Obst turned their board upside down and Petrov indeed won the big hand with one pair.

Yordan Petrov: /
Matt Grapenthien: /
James Obst: /

They talked a little bit more about the hand and Obst smiled, saying: "This game sucks."

Obst Prevails Against a Scary Board

[user340093]

Nível 15 : 6,000/12,000, 1,500 ante

James Obst made it two bets after Matt Grapenthien completed and Grapenthien called to continue heads-up.

Obst had an ace out and bet on fourth again. Grapenthien stuck around called, picking up a third diamond on his board on fifth. Obst slowed down, checking, and Grapenthien used his texture to apply pressure. Obst, however, wasn't willing to go away.

Sixth street was even more dangerous for Obst. He paired his ace but Grapenthien picked up another fantastic card and his board was showing four cards to a king-high straight flush with / .

Obst had at least a blocker for the nut flush but he certainly liked the check-back he'd received.

Grapenthien checked the river as well and Obst turned up / for trip aces. Grapenthien couldn't peel a diamond among his hole cards and conceded the pot.

Brunson Enjoys Double Crying Time

[user340093]

Nível 16 : 6,000/12,000, 1,500 ante

If anyone witnessed a hand that play out between Todd Brunson, Yaniv Birman and Joseph Cappello, they would enjoy mostly the final scene that unfolded after the river round.

First things first, Cappello led out on fourth and Brunson and Birman both called. Cappello continued on fifth and Brunson raised, but all three remained in the contest for two bets. Brunson bet on sixth again, earning two calls again.

Then he bet on the river and both of his opponents laid their hands down, with the final situation looking as follows:

Todd Brunson: / /
Yaniv Birman: / / - fold
Joseph Cappello: / / - fold

"You deserve this one, Todd, but I had a big draw," Cappello said.

"You had a big draw? I had a big f***ing draw!" Birman replied, showing for a straight flush draw on fifth street. Cappello then countered, opening his flush draw and open-ended draw.

"How is there no club coming? Brick, brick, brick," Birman sighed.

Cappello continued, moaning about his own blank river.

Brunson, in the meantime, silently stacked the newly earned chips with a laugh on his face.

"How could you fade two draws? There were no aces out!" Birman still couldn't believe that he didn't get there. But while Birman and Cappello lost this one, they are both still playing very healthy stacks.
