Kenney Four-Bets, then Folds

Livello 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

From early position, Bryn Kenney raised to 2,900. Action folded over to the player in the hijack seat and he reraised to 7,600. When play got back to Kenney, it was time to go even higher. He four-bet to 16,500. His opponent tanked for a bit and then moved in, having Kenney and his last 47,500 covered. Kenney took little time before mucking his hand and giving up the pot.

Preflop Pandemonium Ends with Tran on Top

Livello 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

The action started with a player in middle position open-raising to 2,800. JC Tran re-raised to 7,700 on the button, only to see a four-bet to 20,000 and change from the player in the small blind. The big blind got out of the way and the original raiser went all in for about 100,000. Undeterred, JC announced he was all-in for his last 76,000. The four-bettor slid his cards into the muck.

"Aces?" Tran's opponent asked.

Tran: {A-Clubs}{A-Hearts}
Opponent: {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}

...Yep. The board ran out {4-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{5-Hearts}, propelling Tran into one of the chip leads with just over 150,000.

Who Shows First?

Livello 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

On player checked the flop of {A-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{J-Clubs} to Dave "Doc" Sands. Sands bet 2,400 and his opponent made the call. The turn brought the {9-Hearts} and the first player checked again. Sands bet 4,700 and his opponent called. The river completed the board with the {6-Diamonds} and the first player checked to Sands once more. Sands checked behind.

There was some confusion as to which player would have to show first. Sands' opponent argued that it should be the last aggressor from the previous street. He even cited a ruling that was made that way yesterday in this event. At any rate, the floor was called over and the ruling was given that the player to the left of the button must show first, not the last aggressor on the previous street. The first player was upset, but had to show first. He revealed the {J-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} for two pair and Sands mucked.

Why does this matter if he had the winning hand? Well, the first player would want to see what Sands was playing, but with this rule, he had to show first and Sands had the option to show or muck afterwards. In this case, Sands mucked when he saw he was beat.

Marquez Falls

Livello 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Catching the action on the {6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{5-Spades} board, we found Matt Glantz betting out 5,000 into roughly an 11,000-chip pot.

His lone opponent in the hand - Ana Marquez - made the call as the {8-Hearts} completed the board on the river.

Marquez pushed roughly her remaining 22,000 into the pot and Glantz looked her up with {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades}. Marquez flashed her {8-Clubs}{7-Hearts} and quietly made her way to the rail as Glantz moved to 120,000 in chips.

Kim Fades for the Triple Up... Son

Livello 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

From early-middle position, Brian Kim moved all in for his last 5,600. Action folded around to one of PokerNews' Rookie Roundup players Mickey Petersen in the small blind and he reraised all in for about 27,000. The big blind then called all in quickly after looking at his hand.

Kim: {4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}
Petersen: {A-Spades}{K-Clubs}
Big Blind: {A-Clubs}{J-Spades}

The board ran out {9-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} and Kim was able to fade his opponents' hands and triple up to 17,700. Petersen won the side pot against the big blind and saw his stack move up a tiny bit to 38,000.

Mortensen Over 100k

Livello 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

On a flop reading {A-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}, a player in early position bet 3,300. Carlos Mortensen, who was in middle position, made a small raise to 8,300. His opponent thought it over, but landed on a fold.

Mortensen has chipped up nicely since beginning day two and is currently sitting with 108,000.
