Low Catches Taylor

Livello 13 : Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

On the turn of 9♠8♠4♥3♥, a player bet 15,000 into the 30,000 pot and was called by Kam Low and Esther Taylor.

The A♣ landed on the river and the action checked to Taylor as she piled up a bet of 68,000 and pushed it across the line.

The third player in the hand quickly check-folded and the action was back on Low. He took some time, counting out exactly 68,000 and eyeing his stack of about 30,000 behind. After another minute he made the call.

Taylor tabled Q♦J♣10♦5♣ for a missed straight draw and Low was awarded the pot as he tabled A♠Q♠J♦9♦ for two pair.

Moncek Five Bet Jams

Livello 13 : Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

Michael Moncek was facing a raise to 7,000 from Nir Cohen and reraised to approximately 27,000, it folded around to the initial raiser and he three bet to well over 65,000. Moncek didn't take long thinking before putting in the five bet jam. Cohen put his chips in the middle and cards were on their backs.

Nir Cohen: A♣A♥3♣5♣
Michael Moncek: 6♦8♠9♦J♠

The board came down Ace-high and closed the door on everything but one out when Moncek made trip sixes on the turn. The river made him a boat but it wasn't enough to beat the aces full of Cohen.

Moncek recently won his second bracelet in the $5,000 NLH/PLO mix and in his post-win interview he made mention that many in the field were more skilled than him in this particular game.

Fields Pot-Sized River Bet Takes it Down

Livello 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Three players limped before the 10♠5♣3♣ flop and Eric Fields led out for 5,000. Only the button made the cutoff made the call.

The A♠ hit the turn and Fields continued for 17,000 which was called after only a couple of seconds.

When the K♥ landed on the river, Fields cut out a pot-sized bet of 52,000 and dropped it across the line. The player in the cutoff went deep into the tank, and after a few minutes he said, "It's a coin-flip for me."

Another 30 seconds went by before he tossed his cards into the muck.

"Bluff," Called out table mate Ryan Leng as Fields was dragging the pot.
