Charania Chipping Up

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Mohsin Charania opened to 50,000 with {a-Spades}{9-Spades}, Philipp Gruissem three-bet to 135,000 from the small blind with a mystery hand, and Charania called. The flop fell {5-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}, and Gruissem led out for 130,000. Charania called.

The turn was the {7-Hearts}, both players checked, and the {5-Clubs} completed the board. Both players checked again.

We didn't see Gruissem's hand, but it wasn't better than Charania's, because he was shipped the pot.

Diamonds are Forever

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Theo Jorgensen opened to 45,000 from under the gun with {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}, and the action folded to Matt Salsberg, who defended hid big blind with {a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}.

The dealer fanned {5-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} - action flop - and Salsberg checked. Jorgensen continued for 58,000, Salsberg raised to 150,000, and Jorgensen called.

The turn was the {5-Diamonds}, giving Salsburg an ace-high flush, and he led for 175,000. Jorgensen called.

The river was the {k-Diamonds}, and Salsberg slid out 200,000. Jorgensen tanked for the better part of two minutes, then finally made the call. Salsberg tabled the ace-high flush, and raked in the pot.

Salsberg Takes from Jorgensen

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Matt Salsberg opened to 40,000 on the button, Theo Jorgensen defended his big blind, and the flop came {8-Spades}{10-Clubs}{a-Hearts}. Jorgensen check-called 32,000 from Salsberg, and the turn was another ace - the {a-Spades}.

Both players checked.

The {j-Diamonds} completed the board, both players checked again, and the hands were opened. Unfortunately the hands were not exposed on camera, but Salsberg won the pot.
