Morris Snaps with Set

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

Three players put in 2,700 after a flop of {5-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{2-Spades}, and everybody checked the {a-Diamonds} turn. When a {k-Clubs} completed the board, the player in the small blind bet 12,000. One player quickly folded, but Lynn Morris called off his stack just as quickly.

Morris: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
Small blind: {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}

The small blind had played his set slow on the turn, and Morris had spiked a better set on the river to take the pot and more than double up.

Romer Shoves the Turn

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante
"Wild" Bill Romer was waiting for someone to bet.
"Wild" Bill Romer was waiting for someone to bet.

"Wild" Bill Romer opened for 525 from early position, and Michael Horchoff three-bet to 1,200 on the button. Kenny Milam made the call out of the big blind, and Romer came along as well.

Everyone checked the {10-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{3-Spades} flop, but those checks may have been deceptive because action sprang to life on the turn after two more checks. Horchoff bet 2,600, Milam called, and Romer shoved for just under 10,000. Horchoff quickly folded, but Milam took a bit of thinking time before laying his hand down as well.

Vang Gets Value

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Kou Vang bet 7,300 after a player in the big blind checked to him on the end.

"So sick," the player kept muttering, staring alternately at the {10-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{8-Clubs} board and his opponent.

Finally, he tossed in a call. Vang showed {7-Clubs}{7-Spades} for a set, and the big blind tabled {a-Clubs}{q-Spades} for a worthless top pair.

Shawn Schoreck flopped bottom set against top pair.
Shawn Schoreck flopped bottom set against top pair.

The small blind bet 1,700 into Shawn Schoreck on a flop of {3-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{a-Spades}, and Schoreck raised to 3,400. The small called, and the turn brought the {q-Spades}. The small blind checked, Schoreck bet 3,300, and the small blind raised to 10,000. Schoreck jammed for 16,350, and the small blind made the call.

Schoreck: {2-Spades}{2-Clubs}
Small blind: {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}

The small blind thought he had seen a good turn when the queen gave him top two, but all it did was inspire him to put all of his chips in the pot against Schoreck's set. A {5-Clubs} completed the board, and Schoreck doubled up.

Darius Brown thought he was done for.

With a community of {k-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{8-Spades}, Darius Brown bet and got raised by a player on the button. Brown shoved all in for 12,125, and his opponent made the call.

Brown: {k-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}
Button: {a-}{a-}

Brown got up to leave, but the dealer burned and turned the {7-Hearts}, giving him a winning two pair.

"Back from the dead," another player at the table said, and indeed Brown is now above the starting stack after being down to 3,000 following a rough beat in an earlier pot.
