Chamberlain Bluffs Auvil

Level 26 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Paul Chamberlain
Paul Chamberlain

Ian Auvil limped in the cutoff with Q?10?, which led to a limp from Ronald Kaepernick in the small blind with A?4?, and a check from Paul Chamberlain in the big blind with 8?7?.

The flop came K?J?5?, and after Kaepernick checked, Chamberlain bet 220,000.

Auvil called with his open-ended straight draw and Kaepernick folded.

On the 5? turn, Chamberlain bet again, this time to the tune of 320,000. Auvil thought briefly, then showed his hand and folded.

As the livestream announcers begged for Chamberlain to show the bluff, Chamberlain did just that, drawing an eruption from the booth and a head shake from Auvil as the pot was pushed away from him.

Gregg Bloom raised to 225,000 in the hijack with A?J? and was met with an all-in bet of 765,000 from John Purdy, holding 10?10?.

Bloom thought briefly and then called.

The flop came 8?8?8?, bringing Purdy a full house. The turn was then 3?, changing nothing, but the A? on the river drilled Bloom, giving him a better full house to take the pot and the chip lead while sending Purdy to the rail in 6th place.

After Gregg Bloom limped Q?8? in the small blind, David Phillips checked his K?J?.

The action flop came K?Q?8?, and action did indeed come with Bloom holding two pair and Phillips with top pair.

After Bloom checked, Phillips bet 125,000 and got check-raised by Bloom to 300,000. Phillips then moved all in for 925,000 and after a bit of thought, Bloom called.

The turn 4? and river 3? brought Phillips no help and his top pair went down in flames to eliminate him in 7th place.

Medrano Gets a Crucial Fold From Kaepernick

Level 25 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Folded to Miguel Medrano in the small blind, he raised to 1,000,000 with K?Q?, leaving himself 660,000 behind.

Ronald Kaepernick was in the big blind with A?Q? and 1,900,000 chips, which could have meant potential disaster for Medrano.

After a minute or so of thought, Kaepernick opted to fold to send the pot to Medrano.
