Big Hands Collide

An under-the-gun player opened with a raise and received a call from a player in early position. Ted Forrest then three-bet from the cutoff and was called by both his opponents. When the flop fell {Q-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{9-Spades}, the UTG player led out with a bet, which only Forrest called.

The dealer then burned and turned the {9-Hearts}, with the action going check, bet, and call. The UTG player decided to bet out when the {7-Diamonds} river hit, only to have Forrest raise. The UTG player made the call and showed {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds}; however, it was no good as Forrest rolled over {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}.

Eskandani in the House

Livello 3 : 75/150, 0 ante

Mori Eskandani may not be a name familiar to the average poker fan, but it certainly should be. Eskandani is the man responsible for many of the poker shows you see on TV, including Poker After Dark, High Stakes Poker, and the National Heads-Up Poker Championship.

Eskandani is in today's field and is looking for his first WSOP gold bracelet, which would no doubt compliment his 15 WSOP cashes totaling $200,580.

Man Down Already?

Livello 3 : 75/150, 0 ante

It seems as though we have witnessed our first casualty of the tournament. A player was all in preflop with {Q-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} against the {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs} of Maria Ho. The board ran out {3-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{3-Spades} which provided no help to the player and he was eliminated. The very next hand Ho raised from under the gun to pick up the blinds and was at 8,700 after that.

Witteles Pays Off Opponent

Action folded to the player on the button and he decided it was a fine opportunity to raise. The small blind got out of the way but Todd Witteles decided to defend from the big. Witteles, who if you recall won this very event back in 2005, proceeded to check-call bets from the button every step of the way as the board ran out {4-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{A-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{9-Spades}.

The button was proud to show {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}, which must have been enough as Witteles rapped the table and slowly mucked his hand.

Jeff Shulman is the First One to Win at His New Table

Jeff Shulman started out the hand by calling a three-bet preflop from the player on the button. Shulman then check called his opponents bet on a flop of {J-Hearts} {K-Diamonds} {5-Hearts}.

The turn was a seemingly meaningless {4-Diamonds}, but it didn't stop Shulman's opponent from betting. Shulman again made the call.

A {3-Hearts} river brought with it a bet from Shulman. After some slight deliberation, the button made the call only to see his aggressor's {A-Hearts} {2-Hearts}, rake the pot.

Ho with the Better of Two Straights

Maria Ho
Maria Ho

On a flop of {9-Hearts}{7-Spades}{4-Hearts}, Maria Ho bet from under the gun only to face a raise from her opponent in early position. Ho made the call and then checked the {5-Clubs} turn. Her opponent took the opportunity to fire out a bet, which Ho check-called.

When the {8-Clubs} peeled off on the river, Ho once again checked. The early-position player bet, but this time Ho woke up with a check raise, which her opponent called.

Ho revealed {J-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for the nut straight, which was ahead of her opponent's {6-Clubs}{5-Hearts} lower straight.

Turner Headed in the Wrong Direction

Action folded to the player in the cutoff and he put in a raise, which was called by Jon Turner in the small blind. The {K-Spades}{7-Hearts}{5-Hearts} flop inspired Turner to check-call a bet from his opponent, leading to the {6-Hearts} on the turn. This time Turner led out, the cutoff called, and the {3-Hearts} was revealed on the river.

Turner bet, the cutoff raised, and Turner made the call. The cutoff showed {A-Hearts}{3-Spades} for an ace-high flush, which was good as Turner simply mucked.

Aces for Aguiar

A player in late position raise only to have the button three-bet. Jonathan Aguiar was in the big blind and put in a four-bet, which both his opponents called. When the flop came down {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{10-Spades}, Aguiar led out with a bet, and once again both opponents called.

When the {5-Hearts} hit the turn, action checked to the button and he was the one to do the betting. Aguiar made the call as the late-position player got out of the way. Aguiar then checked the {A-Diamonds} river, the button bet, Aguiar check-raised, and the button made the call. Aguiar rolled over {A-Clubs}{A-Hearts} for a rivered full house and the button mucked in frustration.
