l Scubba l ($27,714), Steve Yea ($8,315) and kmoneyk10 ($12,084) played at the $50/$100 $3,000 Cap No Limit Hold-em game at FullTiltPoker.net. Also at the table were Erik Lindgren ($6,300), 5h1p1t 2 m3 ($4,900), nationz ($1,119).

There hasn’t been much high stakes action with the 2009 WSOP in full swing. Right now the 2009 WSOP Main Event is being played and I expect that after the tournament ends in mid July and most poker pros leave Vegas the online poker tables will be filled with high stakes action.

For now,  I felt like the site needed an update so I went down a couple levels and ended up at $50/$100 where there was some poker action.

At the end of the action the chips were:

kmoneyk10 ($14,404)
5h1p1t 2 m3 ($15,234)
MissNikita1987 ($3,000)
l Scubba l ($28,534)

Patrik Antonius ($59,843) played against Resoh ($259,866) at the Harlin (heads up) table at FullTiltPoker.net. The limits at the poker table were $1000/$2000.

Since the game was limit hold-em the hands were noticeable smaller then other games I have written about in the past. But the average hand at the table was higher then a lot of games that I have watched at $10k. There were a lot of hands in the $13k range and not very many under $5k.

One of those hands had Resoh betting $2k which Patrik Antonius called pre-flop. The flop came down [Jd 3h 4d] and both players checked. The turn was a [7d] and Antonius bet $2k which was then raised to $4k and again Antonius raised it to $6k which Resoh called. The river card was a [3s] and Patrik Antonius checked while Resoh bet $2k which Antonius called. On the showdown Resoh showed [Kc Ks] and Antonius mucked his hand and Resoh took the pot worth $19,999.50.

Marcus Golser ($13,925.50) played against ClockWyze ($49,154.50) at the $50/$100 No Limit Hold-em table Janell (heads up). I didn’t watch from the beginning but was able to watch until their session ended.

One of the first hands that I saw was a hand where ClockWyze raised to $200 and then was re-raised to $600 which was called. The flop of [5h 7d 4c] came down and Markus Golser bet $900 which was called. The turn was a [Ah] and Markus Golser bet $1,600 which was then raised by ClockWyze to $4,488, at this point Markus Golser raised all-in to $12,425.50 but was not called and won the pot worth $11,975.50.

The next hand which I will talk about was the largest and basically the last hand played between the players. ClockWyze raised to $200 and was then re-raised to $600 and then ClockWyze made it $2,188 which was called. The flop was [Jc 2c Jd] and ClockWyze bet $2,485 and after some time Markus Golser raised to $8,831 which after taking some time ClockWyze called. The turn was [Kc] and Markus Golser went all-in with his last $12,903.50 and was called by ClockWyze. They both showed their cards and Markus Golser had [3h Ah] while ClockWyze showed [Js Jh]. At this point ClockWyze had the winning hand and the river card was a [6d] which had no effect on the hand (couldn’t have at that point). ClockWyze then took down the $47,844.50 pot. Marcus Golser added $2k but after two hands left with ClockWyze winning the session and at the end had $63,119.50.

There were a lot of $60k hands, $30k cap for each player…so makes sense there would be lots of them. The first one I watched was between ioi and Daivd Benefield. ioi raised to $3k while Benefield raised to $7,800 which ioi called. The flop of [5h 6h 7c] had ioi checking and David Benefield betting $22k (capping bet) which ioi called. The turn was a Kd and river a Tc….Benefield had QQ while ioi had Jh Ah….Benefield then won the hand as ioi missed his flush and raked in the pot worth $61,497.

Another $60k hand was between Phil Ivey and world1969. Phil Ivey raised $3k pre-flop which was called by world1969. On the flop of [6h 2h Jc] Phil Ivey bet $5k and was then raised to the cap by world1969 bringing the total to call $22k which he did call. Phil Ivey shows [6s Ks] while world1969 showed [Td 8d]. The turn and river were Ad and Jd respectively. Phil Ivey had the hand on the all-in and indeed held his lead on the turn and river and won the $61,497 pot.

The table broke up after about 100+ hands. Players left had:

Phil Ivey ($95,126.50)

Wednesday, December 3rd, 2008

LarsLuzak ($164,599), Phil Ivey ($47,995) and durrrr ($87,397) played $500/$1000 No Limit Hold’em at RailHeaven. The table is a 6 max table and has a reserved seat for Patrik Antonius but at the time he wasn’t playing.

The first hand that I watched which was a partial hand since I started watching mid way in the hand was a good one with a pot of $87,397 won by Durrrr against LarsLuzak. Durrrr went all-in after the river and was called by LarsLuzak….When they showed their cards Durrrr showed two pair, aces and threes and took the pot down.

The largest hand that was played at the table was between Phil ivey and LarsLuzak. After the hole cards were dealt LarsLuzak raised to $3,500 and was then re-raised to $11,500 by Phil Ivey…It didn’t take long for LarsLuzak to shove all-in. He had Phil Ivey covered and Ivey called with the rest of his chips which was $37,874. They both flipped over their hands and LarsLuzak had pocket queens while Phil Ivey had As9d. The flop wasn’t good for Phil Ivey as a queen hit as well as a k and a 4. The turn of a 7 and final a 5 didn’t help the cause and Phil Ivey lost the hand worth $99,747.

At the end of about 50 hands the chip counts were:

durrrr ($131,992)
LarsLuzak ($218,352)
Phil Ivey ($0)

Another large hand was again in Limit Hold-em and after the hold cards were dealt Ivey raised to $4k which was called by Son. After the flop, Son checked, Ivey Bet $2k, Son then raised to $4k and Ivey re-raised to $6k which son called. After the turn Son checked and Ivey bet $4k which was called.

The larger hand at the table was between vlindermes and BusterLove. There was a lot of raises and re-raises and in the end vlindermes had the nuts on the flop. The flop of [8h 7c Td] and with his hand of [Jc 9d] had a jack high straight. Buster Love went the whole way and ended up mucking his hand.
