Christy Pham Doubles Through Gosbani Hernandez

On a flop of AhKdQs, Christy Pham leads out for 3,200 and is called by Adam Santos. Gosbani Hernandez raises all in for 14,500 and Pham calls off her stack of 9,500.  Santos folds and the cards are turned up.

Pham shows AdQd8d9h, good for two pair and Hernandez tables JsTs9h8d, good for the nut straight. The turn is the 2d, giving Pham a flush draw to go with her two pair. The river is the Td and Pham fills her flush and doubles up to 23,000.

Hernandez is crippled with just 4,500 in chips.

Santos Eliminates Tirrell

Daniel Tirrell raises from early position and Adam Santos calls from the big blind. The two see a flop of JhTs3d and they get the last of Tirrell’s chips in the middle.

“Ok, I got a wrap and an overpair,” said Tirrell with a sigh as he tabled KcKdQc9s.

Santos was ahead with bottom set as he showed Ad9d3s3c. The turn is the 7c and the river is the 4d and Santo’s set holds up as Tirrell is eliminated.

Santos grows to 67,000 in chips with that pot.

 

Santos Gets Peter W to Fold the Best Hand

On the turn with the board reading Ts7s5s8c, Adam Santos bet the pot and effectively put Peter W all in for his last 23,000.

“Man, you’re like the only guy that I call with this here,” said Peter W. “I got an out too.”

Peter W eventually folds his hand and shows the 6s3s. Santos shows QcJsTc9s, good for what everybody thought was a higher flush. Peter W then shows that he also had the Ks in his hand and he had Santos drawing to just one out.

“You had it king high?” asked Phil Wasserman. “Then you were ahead.”

The whole table laughed at the needle as Santos scooped the chips. Santos climbs to 46,000 while Peter W has 23,000.

Imhoff Doubles Through Tirrell

Daniel Tirrell is facing a river bet of 10,000 from John Imhoff (pictured) on a board of Ks9h6hKd8h and is in the tank.

“If a queen came on the river this would be a lot easier,” said Tirrell while contemplating his decision. “This is so stupid.”

Tirrell tosses in a call and sees the bad news.

“If you have a boat, you’re good,” said Imhoff as he showed AhKh9d6s.

Imhoff apparently misread his hand as he did have an ace-high flush, but also had the nut full house as well.

Tirrell showed an inferior flush and a king as he mucked his hand and needled Imhoff about the comment at showdown.

Imhoff scoops the pot and grows his stack to 33,000 while Tirrell slides to 27,000 in chips.
