Richter Finds a Set on the River

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Chris Linder open raised from middle position, Bill Richter three-bet from the small blind, and Lindner called.

Both players checked the flop {6-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}, and turn {k-Hearts}.

The river came {q-Spades}, Richter bet 25,000 and Lindner called. Lindner could only laugh it off when Richter turned over {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}, good for a rivered full house.

Gindi Gets a Double

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Bill Richter limped in from under the gun, and Josh Gindi jammed for 45,000 from the cutoff. Jon Turner three-bet shoved for 115,000 in the big blind, and Richter folded.

Josh Gindi: {a-Clubs}{10-Spades}
Jon Turner: {8-Hearts}{8-Spades}

Turner held on the {2-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} flop, but the {q-Clubs} turn gave Gindi a Broadway draw to go with his overs. The {10-Hearts} river gave Gindi a winning pair of tens and the double.

Flavin Almost Calls, Changes His Mind

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

With the flop reading {3-Spades}{a-Spades}{3-Spades}, Ray Flavin checked and Lance Donnell went all in from early position, for his last 111,000.

Flavin started putting together a big stack for a possible call. "I'm going to miss these guys," said Flavin, sounding like he was ready to make the call.

A few seconds later, Flavin chose to fold, shipping the pot to Donnell.

Burke Wins Big Flip to Felt Yoshihara

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

After a raise from Tyler Burke in the cutoff, Michael Yoshihara three-bet to 40,000 on the button, and Burke four-bet to 114,000. Yoshihara five-bet shoved for 240,000 and Burke called.

Michael Yoshihara: {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}
Tyler Burke: {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}

Burke bricked the {7-Hearts}{2-Spades}{q-Diamonds} flop and {6-Hearts} turn, but the {a-Diamonds} hit the river to give Burke a pair of aces and the winner.

"I bink-snapped the river!" Burke said, which led to tablemate Loren Klein and Burke discussing how it felt to hit the ace on the river.

Steinman Spinning it Up

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Ian Steinman started Day 2 with the second-smallest stack in the room, but the well-accomplished tournament player has built that up to nearly 30 big blinds as Level 17 plays on.

Steinman added to that total in a hand against Alex Conatser, which began with Conatser opening to 13,000 from the cutoff, and Steinman calling from the small blind.

Both players checked the {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{7-Hearts} flop, and Steinman bet 12,000 on the {q-Hearts} turn, which Conatser called.

Steinman bet 35,000 on the {5-Hearts} river, getting the fold.

Mary Swafford

On the turn of a {8-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{k-Spades} board, Mary Swafford check-raised all in for her last 60,000 from the small blind after a bet from Alex Conatser from under the gun, and Conatser called.

Mary Swafford: {k-Hearts}{j-Clubs}
Alex Conatser: {4-Hearts}{4-Spades}

Swafford turned top pair, but was drawing dead to the {7-Clubs} river due to Conatser's flopped set of fours.

Steinman Gets Another One

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Ian Steinman opened to 17,000 on the small blind, and Tyler Burke called from the big blind.

Steinman bet 15,000 on the {9-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{q-Hearts} flop, and Burke called. Both players checked the {k-Spades} turn, as well as the {5-Spades} river.

"I forgot what heart I have," said Burke as the two players showed down. It turned out to be the four, as Bukre mucked {4-Hearts}{x-} to Steinman's {q-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}.

Flavin's Flush Felts Fitzgerald

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Rob Fitzgerald
Rob Fitzgerald

Three players, including an all-in Rob Fitzgerald, built a pot of 90,000 up and saw a {4-Spades}{6-Hearts}{3-Hearts} flop together. Ray Flavin jammed on the flop, chasing out the other opponent, and the two remaining players tabled their hands.

Rob Fitzgerald: {a-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}
Ray Flavin: {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}

"Five would be nice," Fitzgerald said.

The {2-Hearts} turn gave Flavin a king-high flush, but Fitzgerald was still live with the nut flush draw. The {q-Diamonds} river bricked off, and Fitzgerald was eliminated.
