Cohen Powers Up, Takes Down Pot

Nível 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Matthew Cohen found himself in the small blind and watched some heavy action before he acted.

A player in early position raised 700 and then a player in late position three-bet to 1,700.

Cohen then looked down at his cards and four-bet to 4,500, which forced out the original raiser. The player in late position flatted.

The dealer fanned 4♠7♦K♠ on the flop, after which Cohen led out for 3,000. His opponent called.

The turn showed 10♥ and Cohen didn’t slow down with a 4,500 bet. Cohen’s action caused anxiety for his opponent, who alternated looks between his hand and the board. After a few moments, he showed J♣J♦ before mucking his hand.

“That’s respect,” Cohen’s opponent said.

Cohen then showed K♣ in return before giving his hand to the dealer.

“That was a very good flop for me,” Cohen replied.

Nível 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

PokerNews alumni Terrance Reid bet 500 from the hijack and was called by the cutoff and both blinds.

The flop came Q♠9♠4♦ and Reid bet 1,200 which gained a call from the cutoff and folds from the small and big blind.

The 4♣ paired the board on the turn and Reid delivered the third barrel for 4,300 which was enough to get the cutoff to fold.

Boulais Doubles then Franklin Quadruples

Kirk.brown

Nível 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

On a heads-up turn board of 8♣9♣6♣9♦, the pot had around 10,000 in it and Reggie Franklin led out for all of his chips, covering his opponent, Joe Boulais.

Boulais only paused for a few seconds before making the call for his tournament life.

"Agh, nice call," Franklin sighed as he turned over K♠Q♠ for just king high while Boulais flipped over A♣4♣ for the flopped nut flush.

The meaningless 8♦ came on the river to give Boulais a huge double-up to 85,000 early in the tournament.

Franklin, who was left short with only around 5,100, moved all in preflop the very next hand and managed to quadruple-up when he hit a straight on the river with A♦9♦ on a 7x7x6x8x10x board.

Nível 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

The 2023 World Series of Poker continues to have gargantuan fields as after only one of hour play, the Monster Stack has passed the 6,501 figure set at the 2022 edition.

Currently, 6,691 have stumped up the $1,500 buy-in and there are still nine levels of play before late registration closes. It is going to be a big one.

Vasquez Flops World, Gets There to Win Pot

Nível 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

A player in early position raised before Angel Vasquez, who was in the small blind, looked down at his cards.

Vasquez apparently liked what he saw because he called, as did the big blind, to bring three-way action to the flop.

The dealer placed 8♣5♥3♥ on the board, which Vasquez and the big blind checked. The original raiser bet 1,500, which Vasquez called. The big blind folded.

The 9♦ arrived on the turn, which both players checked. The dealer then put 8♦ on the river, which paired the board.

Vasquez checked, and his opponent bet 1,800. Vazquez snap-called and his opponent mucked his cards without revealing his hand.

“I have a straight,” Vasquez said as he tabled 7♥6♥, showing he flopped open-ended straight, gut-shot straight flush, and flush draws, making his straight on the turn.

Messineo Checks RIver to Confuse Opponent

Kirk.brown

Nível 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

On a three-way turn, the board read K♠A♠9♦2♥ when Joe Messineo in early position bet 7,500 after a check from the big blind. The middle position player to his left made the call while the big blind folded and the two went heads-up to a river 5♦.

Messineo looked visibly confused, visibly shaking his head as he checked it over his opponent, who seemed like he couldn't tell if Messineo was pulling a Hollywood or not, so he just checked back.

Messineo then flipped over A♣Q♣ for top pair and his opponent quickly mucked to award him the pot.

"What, you didn't like that river?" another player at the table joked.

"I mean yeah I'm glad spades missed I just wasn't happy about him calling the 7,500," Messineo replied as he stacked his new chips.

Wilkie Takes Down Big Pocket Pairs

Nível 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Steve Wilkie was involved in three-way action on a flop showing 8♠3♦6♥ and the pot already had more than 50,000 in the middle of the table.

The fireworks went off on the turn when 8♦ appeared on the board. A player in early position went all in, then a player behind reraised all in. Wilkie, who was covered by his two opponents, followed by going all in to put his tournament at stake. He appeared in good shape when the cards were tabled.

Steve Wilkie: 10♣8♣
First all in: A♣A♠
Second all in: J♣J♦

Wilkie’s trip eights had a commanding lead, which wasn’t lost when the dealer placed the 4♥ on the river to give Wilkie a triple up.

Fleischer Straight to the Point

ChrisBean

Nível 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

With 14,000 in the middle on a completed board of A♥5♠3♦7♦J♣, Terry Fleischer bet 6,600 from the button. The hijack took a moment before making the call.

Fleischer turned over 6♣4♣ for the straight, while the cutoff grimaced showing Ax9x for a no-good top pair.
