Trips For Rooney

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

He is not the famous soccer player. But still, Terrance Rooney strikes when needed. For example, he called from the big blind the stack of a middle position player worth 9,000 chips.

Short stack: K♥K♠
Terrance Rooney: A♦4♥

Filming the scene with his phone, Rooney had the chance to hit trips on the flop 9♠4♠4♣. The J♣ didn't help the short stack, who couldn't find a king on the river 6♠.

Royal for Luu?

Livello 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Action was picked up on a flop of K♥Q♥10♥. Mimi Luu was in late position and bet out for 6,000. The player on the button only took a minute before going all in for 54,500 and action was back on Luu. She went into the tank, checked her cards multiple times, stood up, and eventually piled her chips into the middle for a call.

The cards hit their backs.

Button: A♣J♦
Mimi Luu: A♥9♦

Luu was only drawing to a heart for the win as her opponent already had made a straight. The 6♦ turn brought in no help but the 3♥ on the river had Luu back out of her seat and cheering. She dragged a monster pot late in Level 11.

Royal Flush Or Not ?

Livello 10 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Abby Merk opened from under the gun, and a player in middle position was the only one to call.

A pretty J♣A♣K♣ flop landed on the table, but the two players were not excited about it, as they both checked. On the turn 3♥, Merk started betting again to 3,000. Her opponent called to find a second J♠ on the river.

This time, Merk took a few red chips worth 5,000 each for a total of 15,000. But it was way too much for the middle position player, who folded.

Set For Graham

Livello 10 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

From the middle position, Antonio Graham opened, and in the cutoff, a second player shoved for 30,500 chips. The other players to act folded, and it took less than a second for Graham to call.

Antonio Graham: Q♦Q♠
Cutoff: A♥J♣

Graham needed to avoid an ace to knock his opponent out. He did better than that, hitting a third queen on K♦8♦8♥Q♣2♣. His stack is now over 100,000 chips.

Livello 10 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Action was opened under the gun to 4,000. It folded to Vasyl Zabrodskyy in late position who thought for only a moment before jamming all in for his remaining 24,500. The remaining players left to act made the fold and action was back under the gun. She only took a moment before calling.

Vasyl Zabrodskyy: A♦8♦
Under The Gun: K♣K♥

The flop came 5♦J♦9♠ giving Zabrodskyy a flush draw to go with his one over. The turn brought an 8♣ giving him a pair and even more outs. The river was a 2♦ and Zabrodskyy catapulted into the winners seat with a flush and got a much needed double up.

Snowmen Melted

Livello 10 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Ricardo Graells was down to 22,500 chips when he moved all in from under the gun. In middle position, 2023 WSOP $1,500 Monster Stack finalist Loic Dobrigna thought about calling but folded. However, the player in the cutoff didn't hesitate and reshoved. The button and the blinds folded.

Ricardo Graells: 8♦8♠
Cutoff: 10♥10♦

"I'm from Switzerland, so I have my favorite hand, snowmen," said Graells when he flipped his cards. Unfortunately for him, his snowmen melted on K♣7♥K♥10♠, which gave a set to his opponent on the turn. The dealer put an 8♥ on the river. But it was too late to save Graells.
