Pat O'Brien's Tough River Decision
On a board reading [ks][9s][7d][ac][8d], Pat O'Brien checked in the big blind and a player in later position shoved all-in.
O'Brien went into the tank for a solid two minutes, and eventually threw in the chip to make the call.
O'Brien turned over [kc][2c], and his opponent instantly mucked his hand face down. O'Brien said, "He raised the cutoff, I just didn't believe him."
A player not involved in the hand said, "Great call man." To which another player at the table agreed, "Yeah, great call."
O'Brien is now sitting at 201,000.

Gary Wong Doubles Through Chris Tryba
On a board reading [9s][6c][2s], Gary Wong bet 7,000 and Chris Tryba called.
When the turn came the [2d] Wong checked, Tryba bet 18,000, Wong Shoved all in, and Tryba called.
Wong: [ks][10s]
Tryba: [js][jh]
Wong needed a spade to stay alive as Tryba had him covered. When the [6s] hit on the river, Wong whispered, "Yes," and fist pumped. Wong is now sitting with 195,000 in chips.

Donald Lohr Apparent Chip Leader in Level 16
We are currently about half way through level 16. Blinds are at 1,500/3,000 with a 500 ante. Donald Lohr just knocked out yet another player holding ace-king versus his opponent's pocket jacks after hitting a king on the turn.
After perusing the remaining field (117 players remain at this time), Lohr appears to be the chip leader with 420,000. The next closest stack appears to be just shy of 300,000.

Ryan Torgersen Doubles Twice
Shortly after cracking a player's aces with jack-five to double up, Ryan Torgersen shoved all in from under the gun. Action folded around to the big blind who asked for a count. Upon hearing the 8,700 total, the big blind threw in a chip to make the call.
Torgersen: [9h][8c]
Big Blind: [10c][9c]
The flop came [7s][6h][5s] giving Torgersen a straight. The player who had recently gotten his aces cracked by Torgersen said, "Dude, you just flopped the straight! You are running great."
The [ad] turn and [10h] river did not improve his opponent's hand and Torgersen was awarded a full double up.

The Celebration Continues for Luigi Petrone
Just moments before the last break, familiar sounding shouts sounded throughout the Tournament Poker Room here at Foxwoods. The FoxwoodsPoker,com Blog staff quickly turned around to see Luigi Petrone once again jumping out of his chair and celebrating (he had previously won a big hand and celebrated in a similar fashion). This time he upped the celebration "dance" by running up and down the middle aisle of the casino and shouting so that the entire room could hear him, and at one pointed jumped up and down in a "leaping" motion.
According to Petrone, a player in early position had raised to 1,200 preflop. Petrone called, and a player in late position made it 3,800. Both the early position player as well as Petrone called.
When the flop came [kh][qh][5s], the early position player bet 5,000, Petrone made it 12,000, and the player in late position called. With action back on the player in early position, he shoved all in for 24,000, Petrone shoved all in for 66,000, and the player in late position called.
The early position player had flopped two pair holding king-queen, Petrone had flopped a set of fives, and the player in late position had flopped a flush draw.
The turn and river did not bring a king or queen, nor did it bring the flush. Petrone has now chipped up to 169,200 and the celebration continues on.

William Morales Straightens Out
On a board reading [qc][qd][7d][10h], a player in the big blind bet 4,000 and William Morales called in late position.
When the [6h] river card was dealt, the big blind announced that he was all in. Morales quickly put his remaining 4,000 in chips into the middle to make the call, while turning over [9c][8h] for the straight. His opponent showed the [qh] and mucked his other card.
Morales is now sitting at 21,000 in chips.

Will Failla Knocks Out Three Players in One Hand
Will Failla raised to 3,650 and Chris Leong called in middle position. A player in the hijack shoved all in for 4,000 more. It folded to the player in the small blind who called and Failla also called. Leong shoved 19,000 effective and the small blind reshoved all in. Failla asked for a count of the small blind's chips as he had the most chips of any of the three all-in hands. Upon hearing the total of 26,475, Failla thought about it for a moment before ultimately saying, "I cant't fold for that," and threw in the chips to call.
As each player turned over their hands Failla said, "I can beat that."
Leong: [ah][kd]
Hijack: [ad][9d]
Small Blind: [10h][10d]
Failla: [6s][8s]
The flop came [8c][7c][4h] and Failla said, "That's a good start for me."
When the [5d] came on the turn a player said, "He hit it, there's his straight."
The [3s] on the river sealed the deal, and Failla would knock out three players and chip up to 104,000.
"It's good to be lucky," Failla said as he began stacking his newly acquired chips.

Four Way All-In with Will "The Thrill" Failla
"Straight Flush Royale"
On a board reading [ks][10s][6d], Luigi Petrone checked in early position, a player in the cutoff bet 3,800, the player on the button raised to 10,600, and Petrone shoved all in for 11,100. The player in the cutoff re-shoved over the top of Petrone and the button went into the tank. He asked for a count of the cutoff's chips. Upon hearing the 17,975 total, he sat back in his chair, thought for over two minutes, looked at his cards a few times, and ultimately folded [ad][kc] face up.
Petrone turned over [as][js] for a combination of royal, flush, and straight draws, and the cutoff turned over [qd][jc] for the straight draw.
The player on the button jumped out of his seat and said, "You've got to be kidding me," after seeing he folded the best hand on the flop. But when the [qs] came on the turn he turned around and said, "Thank you," to no one in particular.
Upon seeing the royal flush he had just hit, Petrone began celebrating so that most of the room's attention turned to him.
The [8h] on the river was inconsequential, and Petrone shouted, "Ha! Straight flush, ROYALE. Straight flush ROYAL. Same thing. Queen of spades!" He clapped his hands and continued celebrating as the dealer moved the chips towards him.

Je Wook Oh Punishing the Bubble
Je Wook Oh raised to 9,000 in middle position. The small blind smooth called, and the big blind shoved all in for 22,500. Oh reraised to 70,000, and the player in the small blind folded his hand.
Oh: [4c][4d]
Opponent: [ks][qd]
The flop came [ad][5d][2c] keeping Oh in the lead, but that quickly changed when the [kc] came on the turn, giving his opponent a pair of kings. Oh regained the lead when the [3h] came on the river to give him the straight and send his opponent home in 36th place, just four shy of making the money/Day 2.
Oh appears to be the chip leader in the room at the moment with just shy of 300,000.

Dave Lane Eliminates One
A player under the gun raised to 2,500. Dave Lane was next to act and reraised to 6,000. The original raiser said, "I am putting you on ace king, I call."
When the flop came [ah][2h][7s], the original raiser checked, Lane bet 15,000, and the player raised all in for nearly 40,000. Lane thought for a moment and said, "I don't think you have an ace since you put me on ace-king pre-flop, I call." Lane turned over [ks][kc]. His opponent showed [qh][jh] for a flush draw.
The turn and river did not improve his opponent's hand, so Lane would eliminate the player and chip up to just around 100,000.

Quad Jacks for Dale Phillips in Event #3 ($300 PLO HI LO 8+ With Re-Entries)
On a board reading [kh][jd][2c][js], Dale Phillips checked in the small blind and the player on the button announced, "pot," effectively putting himself all in. Phillips quickly called.
Phillips showed [jc][jh][8c][6s], having turned quad jacks.
The [7c] came on the river and after counting out the chips carefully, it was determined that the player on the button had 100 remaining. Phillips said to him, "I didn't reraise you, so you still have a chip left." The player asked the dealer if there was still time to rebuy and upon hearing that the rebuy period was closed, the player opted to keep his single 100 chip, and threw his cards into the muck face down, never having exposed his hand to the table.
There are 36 players remaining in level 5 of Event #3, and the blinds are currently at 100/200.

Michael Dobbs Knocks One Out
On a board reading [10c][8c][6h][2h], a player in early position shoved all in and Michael Dobbs quickly called.
Dobbs had flopped a set holding [6d][6c] against his opponent's turned two pair holding [10d][2d].
The [8s] on the river gave Dobbs the full house and sent his opponent to the rail.

George Colli's Huge Quadruple Up
In a huge pre-flop betting war, there were four all-ins preflop on the Foxwoods feature table (streaming live at www.foxwoodslive.com).
Player Under the Gun: [qc][qd]
George Colli - Early Position: [ad][as]
Player in the Cutoff: [kh][5h]
Robert Cournoyer - Button: [ah][kd]
(The player in middle position Joe Chividian announced that he folded pocket tens in the midst of all of the betting and raising).
The flop came [10c][7s][4s] to which Chividian sighed out loud as he would have flopped a set of tens, but had folded preflop. The [kc] on the turn and [jc] on the river gave Cournoyer a pair of kings, which was enough to scoop the side pot. But Colli's pair of aces would award him a full quadruple up and he is now sitting with around 45,000.

An Interesting Run Out for Clint Hubble
Clint Hubble shoved all in and the player directly to his left re-shoved all in for more. All other players folded.
Hubble: [ac][qc]
Opponent: [10c][10h]
The flop came [as][qs][kc] giving Hubble the lead with his two pair. That quickly changed when the [jd] fell on the turn, giving his opponent the straight. But when the [ah] came on the river, it gave Hubble a full house and he was awarded a full double up.
A player at the table said, "That was sick."
Hubble replied, "I almost stood up when I saw that turn."
Hubble is now sitting with just around 65,000 in chips.

Matthew Wantman Eliminates Two
On a board reading [6h][4d][5d], a player in early position checked, Matthew Wantman checked, and a player in later position shoved all in. With action back on the player in early position, he opted to move all in. Matthew Wantman had them both covered and called.
Early Postion: [Ad][2d]
Wantman: [9d][7d]
Late Position: [As][Kd]
Wantman sighed when he saw his opponent's ace high flush draw. But when the [7s] turn and [9h] river hit the board, it was Wantman that ended up eliminating both players and scooping the pot to bring him close to nearly 90,000 in chips.
