Hand #1: Al Hart raised to 3,000 in middle position over an early-position limp from Eddy Konarske and as called by Zachary Reinbold in the cutoff, Michael Giardina on the button and Josh Saltz in the big blind. Konarske also called, taking five to a flop of {6-Spades}{6-Hearts}{5-Spades}.

Action checked to Reinbold and he bet 5,200, receiving calls from Giardina and Hart.

"That's not what I expected," said Reinbold after two players called, and all three remaining players checked through the turn {k-Clubs} and river {5-Hearts} to take the hand to showdown.

Hart tabled {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts} and his aces wound up best, earning him the pot.

Hand #2: On the next hand, Ben Keeline open-jammed for 5,900 on the button and Josh Saltz re-jammed for around 18,000 in the small blind, getting no action behind.

Ben Keeline: {j-Clubs}{9-Hearts}
Josh Saltz: {a-Spades}{j-Spades}

"It's okay," said Keeline. "There are a lot of nines in the deck," he added. He would need none, instead flopping a straight on {7-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{10-Spades} and fading the backdoor Broadway draw that Saltz picked up while {k-Spades}{a-Clubs} finished the runout.

"Well, that wasn't fair. But I enjoyed it," said Keeline with a laugh as his stack was matched by Saltz and the pot was shipped his way.
