Raking in the Greene

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

A player in middle position checked and called a bet from Gabriel Greene on a board of {3-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{9-Diamonds}, and he checked again on the {k-Hearts} river. Greene put him all in for 1,600 more, and the player splashed in a call. Greene showed {a-}{j-} for top pair and took the pot.

Jeff Grimes had a wager of 9,000 in front of him on a board of {3-Spades}{k-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{a-Clubs}, and Aaron Gamino was pondering the raise of his 4,100 bet.

"All in," Gamino said. Grimes quickly called.

Grimes: {3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}
Gamino: {q-Clubs}{j-Clubs}

Gamino was shoving a draw, but he had outs against Grimes' flopped set. The river brought a {10-Spades}, and Grimes rapped the table in disappointed recognition of his opponent's straight. Grimes sent his 19,000 or so to his right, as Gamino had him covered.

We found the dealer counting out stacks on a board of {8-Spades}{9-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{j-Spades}. Roger Kamuf had gotten it all in with {6-Clubs}{5-Clubs} for a flopped straight, and his opponent had failed to fill up with {9-}{7-}, good for two pair on the flop. Kamuf had his foe covered, and he passed the 50,000 mark.

Dawson Doubles Up

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

A player under the gun bet 2,000 on an {a-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} flop, and Charlie Dawson pushed for 5,500. A player shoved over that from the small blind, and the original bettor folded.

Dawson: {6-Spades}{6-Diamonds}
Small blind: {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

"Well, I definitely had the third-best hand," the bettor said.

Dawson received a sweat when the {3-Hearts} turn paired the board, meaning an ace would win it for his opponent. The {5-Clubs} bricked the river, though.
