Hand #32

Hand #32 - Jeff Langdon has the button in seat 8, he raises to 45,000, and Smith calls from the small blind. The flop comes {J-Spades}{9-Clubs}{8-Spades}, and both players check. The turn card is the {A-Diamonds}, Smith checks, Langdon bets 60,000, and Smith folds. Langdon takes the pot.

Hand #30

Hand #30 - Bruce Van Horn has the button in seat 5, and Smith raises from under the gun to 44,000, winning the blinds.

Hand #29

Hand #29 - Mike Spegal has the button in seat 4, Smith limps from early position for 16,000, Van Horn limps from the small blind, and Friedberg checks his option. The flop comes {7-Spades}{2-Spades}{2-Diamonds}, and all three players check. The turn card is the {8-Clubs}, Van Horn bets 25,000, Friedberg calls, and Smith calls. The river card is the {3-Diamonds}, Van Horn checks, Friedberg bets 40,000, and Van Horn calls with {8-Spades}{5-Diamonds} for top pair. But Friedberg shows {8-Hearts}{7-Hearts} to win the pot with two pair, sevens and eights.

Hand #28

Hand #28 - Thomas Savitsky has the button in seat 3, Smith limps for 16,000, and Van Horn checks his option. The flop comes {K-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}, and both players check. The turn card is the {J-Diamonds}, and they check again. The river card is the {9-Hearts}, Van Horn checks, Smith bets 25,000, and Van Horn folds. Gavin Smith takes the pot.

Hand #26

Hand #26 - Eric 'Rizen' Lynch has the button in seat 1, and Smith raises from the cutoff to 44,000, winning the blinds.

Hand #25 - Thomas Savitsky Doubles Through Bruce Van Horn

There appears to be a mistake with the button, as it skipped seat 8. But we'll continue forward ...

Hand #25 - Gavin Smith has the button in seat 9, Savitsky moves all in under the gun for 40,000, Van Horn reraises to isolate, and everyone else folds. Van Horn shows {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}, while Savitsky has {Q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}. Savitsky will need to improve to stay alive.

The flop comes {A-Hearts}{9-Spades}{5-Spades}, and Van Horn retains the lead. The turn card is the {6-Clubs}, and Savitsky needs a queen or a ten to survive.

The river card is the -- {10-Diamonds}! Savitsky spikes a higher pair on the river to double up in chips.
