Emery Shoves with Cowboys

Livello 13 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

The player in late position opened to 12,000 and was then immediately three-bet to 28,000 by Shaun Emery in the cutoff. The button got out of the way and then Doug Paxton in the small blind put in the four-bet to 57,000. Action got back to the original raiser who moved all in for slightly more, but then Emery jammed over the top, covering Paxton who went into the tank.

After thinking about it for around 30 seconds, he decided to let it go and the other two tabled their cards.

Late Position: 2♦2♥
Shaun Emery: K♠K♣

The board runs out 5♣6♦5♦8♦J♥ for Emery's kings to hold and he was awarded the substantial pot, while his opponent made his exit.

"Nice hand, sir, I threw away ace-king there," Paxton said as he gave Emery a fist-bump.

Gebhart Hits River to Scoop Massive Pot; Nicoletti Exits

Livello 11 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

On a three-way flop of 6♦J♠7♥, Ricky Gebhart checks to Wayne Welch, who bet 19,000 and was called by Kenneth Nicoletti and Gebhart.

On the turn 9♠, action checked to Nicoletti, who moved all in for 57,000. Gebhart and Welch both made the call to see the 8♦ fall on the river.

Gebhart checked and when Welch checked back, Gebhart quickly turned over J♥10♦ for a rivered straight while Welch showed A♠A♦ and Nicoletti flipped over 7♠7♦ for a flopped set. Unfortunately, these hands were no longer good as the massive pot was pushed over to Gebhart to rocket him up to over 400,000, while Nicoletti made his way to the exit.
