Reichenstein Sends Big Slick to Rail

Livello 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Uri Reichenstein raised 1,200 under the gun, and was met by an all in from a player in late position.

Action folded back to Reichenstein, who asked for a chip count and the dealer revealed his opponent had 17,700. After taking a few moments, Reichenstein elected to make the call to put his opponent at risk.

Opponent: A♣K♣
Uri Reichenstein: 6♥6♦

In a classic race situation, Reichenstien held the lead but had to dodge the two over cards. The dealer fanned 5♦4♥2♥ on the flop, which gave both players a gut-shot straight draw. But Reichenstein’s straight would be better if any three appeared on the board.

The dealer then placed 10♣ on the turn, and 6♠ on the river gave Reichenstein a set and the win to send his opponent to the rail.

Rash Hits River to Send Opponent to Rail

Livello 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Connor Rash faced a situation after a player in the small blind moved all in for his remaining 6,900.

Rash didn’t have to just contend with the all-in player, but a player on the button was also in the hand after Rash raised preflop. Rash met the challenge head on by moving all in for his remaining 73,000.

The player on the button, who had Rash covered, asked for a count from the player in the small blind, then looked over to Rash before deciding to fold. With the play now heads up, the cards were tabled.

Opponent: 7♠7♥
Connor Rush: A♦J♦

The player on the button saw Rash’s hand and mentioned he mucked ace-queen, and the dealer fanned out 4♣K♥8♥ on the flop. The 8♣ on the turn kept Rash’s opponent in the lead, but the J♥ on the river gave Rash the win and knockout.

Campbell Flushes Opponent Away

Livello 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

On a heads-up flop of 8♠4♠9♥, Jeff Campbell bet 7,000 from the button but was then check-raised to 18,000 by his opponent in the cutoff.

Campbell made the call and the two went to the turn 3♠, to which the cutoff immediately moved all in. Campbell quickly made the call to put his opponent at risk and the cards were o their backs.

The player in the cutoff then proudly tabled J♠9♠ for a flush but that feeling quickly changed when Campbell rolled over K♠Q♠ for an even bigger flush and left his opponent drawing stone dead. The meaningless A♥ came on the river to secure Campbell's victory and eliminated his opponent.

Ostby Victorious With Set Over Set

Livello 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

With 10,500 in the middle at the turn and the board reading K♠7♥4♦3♠, the under-the-gun player bet 6,000 which was raised by Matt Ostby in the big blind to 26,500.

The under-the-gun player was undeterred by the raise and went all in for 42,400. Ostby snap-called.

Under The Gun: 7♣7♦
Matt Ostby: K♦K♥

A huge cooler for the under-the-gun player as their set was lower than Ostby's. Both players improved to a boat on the 3♦ river, but Ostby dragged in all the chips.
