Big Hands and Storylines:
Caught Bluffing
Matthew Hawrilenko: 2
Q9J
Mickey Appleman: 9
4410
Randall Skaggs: 865
Hawrilenko brought-in with the 2, Appleman called, Skaggs completed, and Hawrilenko and Appleman both called. On 4th street, Hawrilenko bet out with his 2Q showing and both players called. Appleman checked 5th street after pairing his four, Skaggs checked behind, and Hawrilenko bet. Appleman called and Skaggs folded. Upon drawing a 10 on 6th street, Appleman led out for 5,000 and Hawrilenko quickly folded.
“Oh! They were spades!” joked Hawrilenko as he slid his downcards toward the muck. Appleman asked what the youngster had and he responded, “Backdoor flush door. Overcards.” Quipped Appleman, “Nothin’” as he grinned and tossed in his ante for the next hand. Hawrilenko still has over 100,000 in chips and Appleman is close behind with 85,000.
Doesn’t Get Much Better
Katja Thater and David Levi played a heads-up pot:
Thater: 8TQJ
Levi: AJ57
Thater completed on 3rd street and Levi raised. The action went bet-call on 4th and 5th street but Levi checked 6th street and folded to a bet by Thater. Thater flipped up (8)(9) for the straight flush and raked in the pot. Thater now has 80,000 and Levi has 75,000.
