Richardson Bluffs With the Best Hand

Livello 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Action was picked up on the river in a pot between Ian Richardson on the button and another player in middle position.

With 23,500 in the middle, the middle position player checked over to Richardson who moved all in for 14,300. The middle position player went into the tank and eventually tossed in the call.

"Sevens," Richardson said shaking his head and turning over 7♣7♠. His opponent looked back at his hand and tossed his hand into the muck, rendering it unretrievable and Richardson took down the pot to double.

"Put the Green Tea In"

Livello 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Action opened preflop with the small blind raising to 1,600 and Chris Land defending his big blind.

The flop came 7♦9♦3♣. The small blind bet 1,700 before calling Land's reraise of 3,600.

The turn brought the 8♦. The small blind bet a single red 5,000-value chip, and Land threw in one of his own a half-second later.

The 7♥ hit the river. Land's opponent checked to him, and he went all in for his remaining 8,500. His opponent began to think, as Land sipped on his green tea.

"As he sips green tea," said Land aloud, attempting to write his own story. After a minute, the small blind folded.

"Put the green tea in," said Land as he took down the pot uncontested.

Baime Scoops A Limped Pot

Livello 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Action was picked up in a four way limped pot with Ken Baime in late position.

The flop rolled out K♠10♠7♦ and the big blind bet 1,500 which saw a player in middle position call and Baime in late position call.

The turn peeled off the 9♣ and action checked over to Baime who bet 7,000 which only the middle position player called.

On the 7♥ river, the middle posiiton player took the betting lead to the tune of 8,000 and Baime called.

Middle position turned over 8♥6♥ for a straight to the ten, but Baime had that beat with Q♦J♦ for a straight to the king and the WSOP bracelet winner took down the pot.
