Foxen Calls Correctly

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

With the board already fully dealt, and reading 6♥6♦7♣3♠7♥, the player in the hijack seat bet 16,000 in to a pot of just over 30,000.

Kristen Foxen on the button thought for a second before making the call.

She tabled 10♠10♥ and her opponent tossed his cards in the muck.

Hastings Makes a Hasty Exit; Agarwal Finds Fortune

Livello 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

A short-stacked Brian Hastings called the shove of Pushpa Agarwal and a flip commenced.

Brian Hastings: A♠K♦
Pushpa Agarwal: 5♦5♣

The board ran out no luck for Hastings as it rolled 10♣6♥J♣9♣7♣.

Agarwal then went on to tell her table a funny story, as she had hopped in Event #83: $1,500 Short Deck without knowing the rules, in particular the switched hand ranking of flushes and full houses, as well as the way the ace worked both ways.

She did go on to cash the event and looked up the rules after the fact, making it a happy mistake.

Owen Doubles Right Away

Livello 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Brad Owen was sat with a fresh starting stack of ten red chips and was in an all-in altercation with the player two seats to his right.

Brad Owen: A♠K♦
Opponent: Q♥Q♣

The flop fanned out 9♠10♦10♥ with no help for Owen. The turned 10♠ did give him one extra out in the form of the last ten but a less dramaric K♣ rolled off on the river, awarding him a double plus the blinds.
