Flopped Set Doesn't Hold for 'ElleSriracha'

Level 6 : 200/400, 0 ante

'ElleSriracha' opened to 800 from the cutoff and everyone else still in the hand made the call including 'Asspad' in the small blind.

A {k-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{10-Clubs} flop was fanned out 'ElleSriracha' continued with a bet of 2,000 that only got rid of the player in the big blind.

When the {5-Clubs} peeled off on the turn, 'Asspad' bet the pot for 9,200 and 'ElleSriracha' jammed all in for 23,686. The player on the button folded but 'Asspad' quickly called.

'ElleSriracha': {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{3-Spades}
'Asspad': {q-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}

'ElleSriracha' was a 2:1 favorite with top set and while that rendered 'Asspad''s inferior two pair dead, he could still win by completing his straight or flush draw. The {9-Diamonds} on the river gave 'Asspad' a straight and 'ElleSriracha' chose not to rebuy and was eliminated.

'Phenomajohn' Makes 'Sparrow' Reload

Level 5 : 150/300, 0 ante

After the under the gun player limped, 'Sparrow' opened from the cutoff to 900. 'Phenomajohn' three-bet to 3,150 out of the big blind getting rid of the limper and 'Sparrow' called.

The flop came down {7-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{k-Diamonds} and 'Phenomajohn' bet the pot, enough to put 'Sparrow' at risk, and their last 5,800 went in the middle.

'Phenomajohn': {a-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{4-Clubs}
'Sparrow': {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}

'Sparrow' was in great shape but a {10-Diamonds}{q-Spades} run out gave 'Phenomajohn' a straight and 'Sparrow' clicked the rebuy button.

'TXSheriff' Extends the Lead

Level 5 : 150/300, 0 ante

The under the gun player opened to 1,050 and got called by the player on the button and tournament big stack, 'TXSheriff', out of the big blind.

All three players checked a {6-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{4-Spades} flop and the {10-Hearts} hit the turn.

'TXSheriff' bet the pot, putting out 3,300, and just the under the gun player made the call.

Both players checked the {3-Clubs} on the river and 'TXSheriff' collected the pot with the {q-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{2-Clubs} making two pair.

'Sparrow' Avoids the Probe

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

'Alienprobed' opened to 700 from middle position and 'Sparrow' three-bet to 2,400 from the cutoff. Tournament chipleader, 'Phenomajohn' called out of the big blind and 'Alienprobed' flatted as well.

A {j-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{2-Hearts} flop fanned out and two checks saw 'Sparrow' continue for 1,800. 'Phenomajohn' folded but 'Alienprobed' moved all in having 'Sparrow' covered. 'Sparrow' put themselves at risk calling with a total of 6,735.

'Alienprobed': {q-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}
'Sparrow': {q-Spades}{a-Spades}{a-Hearts}{4-Hearts}

'Sparrow' was miles ahead and scored an easy double up with a {10-Hearts}{5-Spades} run out.
