Jaster Gets New Life

Livello 15

Chris Jaster was all in from the small blind on a board of 4♥9♦7♠9♠9♣ and up against Tom Schneider in the cutoff and an opponent in early position.

The river came the 9♣. "Dammit," Jaster said as he slammed his cards down and got up from his seat. Schneider and the early-position player checked down and Schneider opened up A♦6♦5♣3♠ for ace-high.

Jaster, though, turned over A♠J♣ for ace-high, jack-kicker, which proved to be the best hand as the early-position player mucked. Jaster let out a sigh of relief and sat back down in his chair.

"Remember this hand when this guy goes on to win the tournament," a tablemate said as Jaster tripled up.

Pescatori Wins Without Showdown and Continues Chipping Up

Livello 14

A player under the gun raised and was called by the small blind and Max Pescatori in the big blind to see a flop of 9♠A♥J♣.

Pescatori bet when checked to and both the under-the-gun player and the small blind called to an 8♣ turn card.

Pescatori bet out again and again found calls from both of his opponents, prompting the dealer to lay the 6♠ out on the river.

Once more, the small blind checked to Pescatori who bet for a third street, this time prompting folds from both of his opponents as he chips up nicely without showdown.

Lin Goes Runner-Runner to Double

Livello 14

Ren Lin was all in on the flop with the board showing 9♠8♣3♦. His opponent had 8♠3♠2♥5♦ for two pair, while Lin had A♥4♦Q♣J♣.

"I have the Lady Gaga," Lin said, moving his queen along the board as the turn came the 10♣. The river was the 5♣ and Lin made a running flush to scoop the pot.

"Someone take that sticker," his defeated opponent said about Lin's "No Gamble, No Future" banner.

"That's why I'm losing. I forgot to put out the sticker all day," Lin said as he doubled his short stack.

Dennig Coolers Hughes to the Rail

Livello 14

Ryan Hughes, who won his third WSOP bracelet online earlier this week, raised a bet on a board of A♠5♥3♦A♣ and James Dennig put him all in.

Hughes quickly called with A♦2♣8♠ for trip aces, but Dennig turned over 2♦2♠4♥3♣ for the wheel. The river came the 9♥ and Dennig won the pot to send the recent bracelet winner to the rail.

Rubinstein Chopped Down

Livello 14

Donny Rubinstein was sitting on one of the biggest stacks in the room with well over 100,000 but just lost a big pot to cut down his stack.

Rubinstein was in the big blind and called a raise from an under-the-gun player, as did an opponent in the hijack. The flop came 8♦2♥9♣ and action checked to the hijack, who tossed out a bet.

Both opponents called that bet and another on the 2♣ turn. The river came the 5♠ and the hijack bet again. Rubinstein quickly called, while the player under the gun frowned before making a reluctant call.

The hijack turned over A♥4♦2♦7♦ for trip deuces and a low as he scooped the entire pot.

Hale Finds a Double

Livello 14

A player in early position raised and found a call in Millard Hale from late position. The two players went to a flop of 6♣Q♣8♠.

The player in early position continued with a bet but faced a raise from Hale. After Hale's opponent called, both players saw a 9♠ turn card, prompting the early position player to check.

Hale made a bet, committing the rest of his chips to the pot. His opponent tossed in calling chips before seeing Hale turn up the A♥K♦Q♥Q♠ for top set.

The 4♠ river offered no help as his opponent showed the A♦10♦6♠4♣, missing his low and securing a full double for Hale.
