Day 9: Nobles, Gold, Laak and Brenes

By Sean Lind

The only event running with any news to report as of 1 p.m. Saturday was the $2,500 NLHE Event 13. Dmitri Nobles got himself involved in a four-way pot early in the day.

Dmitri Nobles

After a pre-flop raise, four players saw the flop:

J86

After everyone called the first player's bet of $275, the turn brought the 9. It got checked to Nobles, who bet $775, which was called by two players.

The river brought the A for a board of J869A.

Everyone checked the river, Nobles turning over 75 for a straight to win a big early pot.

Jamie Gold

It looks like Gold was doing exactly what he does best again. After raising with AK in one of the first rounds of play, Gold slow-played the flop of AQ#9S. When the A came on the turn, Gold pushed his $3,000 stack and talked his opponent into calling off all of his own chips with A8.

Phil Laak and Humberto Brenes

Brenes managed to take about half of Laak's stack after flopping a set of threes. Phil never showed his hand, but judging by the unconnected board of Q3782, chances are it was a strong top pair or two.
