Anderson’s Trip Aces Grabs Pot

Nível 20 : Limits 10,000/20,000, 0 ante

Stephanie Anderson and Kevin Rand found themselves tangled in a hand.

Rand raised in late position, while Anderson, who was in the small blind, called. The big blind folded to bring the flop, where the dealer placed 6♣A♣10♣ on the board.

Anderson checked, leading Rand to bet. Anderson quickly check-called the bet, and the action went to the turn, which produced 2♥. Anderson checked her option, and Rand once again bet only to see Anderson check-call for a second time.

The river brought A♥, slowing down the action as both players checked.

“I have an Ace,” said Anderson, who tabled A♠3♠ to give her trip Aces.

Rand promptly mucked his hand, prompoting the dealer to push the pot to Anderson.

Klein Cuts His Losses, Folds Early

Nível 21 : Limits 12,000/24,000, 0 ante

In a pot that saw Jesse Sylvia raise in middle position and Bill Klein call from the big blind, the flop came J♦8♣K♥.

Klein, with the first action, opted to fold rather than check or bet. Sylvia asked, "How do I win the pot now?" before jokingly tossing out a bet.

As the table laughed, the dealer told Klein that he can't fold when there is no betting action to him to which Klein, with a wry smile on his face, jokingly said, "Penalize me. I'll lose less chips while I'm gone."

The whole table got a good laugh out of it as Sylvia dragged the pot.

Rolfe Takes Down McKeehen

Nível 21 : Limits 12,000/24,000, 0 ante

Three-time WSOP bracelet winner Joe McKeehen was fighting an uphill battle after the break.

He had the smallest chip stack at his table when the big blind came to him midway through Level 21, and he faced a raise from Byron Rolfe, who was on the button. After the small blind folded, McKeehen called the raise, leading to a flop of 2♠4♦5♥.

McKeehen immediately made an all-in bet, and Rolfe called.

McKeehen: A♠2♥
Rolfe: K♦5♦

Rolfe was ahead, and McKeehen needed help to the turn, which produced Q♦. The dealer then placed a third diamond on the board, giving Rolfe the flush and ending McKeehen’s tournament.

Min's Kicker Gives Him the Pot

Nível 21 : Limits 12,000/24,000, 0 ante

The middle position player raised and saw calls come from the cutoff and then Jason Min in the small blind. The big blind came along as well before a flop of K♥6♥5♦ was spread out by the dealer.

Min led with a bet, prompting two folds and then a call from the cutoff before a turn of 9♥ hit the table. Min bet again and once again received a call from the cutoff leading to the 2♠ river.

Min decided to check-call a bet from the cutoff player and turned over the K♦J♦ to beat the K♣10♥ of his opponent and take down the pot.

Mullaney's Set Takes Out Sylvia

Nível 21 : Limits 12,000/24,000, 0 ante

John Mullaney and Jesse Sylvia, two of the shorter stacks at their table, were involved in a swollen pot before the flop just before the dinner break.

The flop brought 5♦10♥J♠, opening the door for more chips to enter the fray with betting. The turn produced 6♣, and Mullaney bet into Sylvia, who took at least two minutes to ponder the situation. Sylvia eventually counted out the rest of his chips, restacked them, and then announced an all-in bet.

Mullaney immediately called and tabled 5♦5♥, while Sylvia showed AxKx, needing help against Mullaney’s bottom set.

But with 7♦ on the river, Mullaney secured the hand and sent Sylvia to the rail.
