Johnson Starts Level Strong

Marco Johnson opened to 16,500 under the gun and found action from the big blind.

Both players checked the {10-Spades}{7-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} flop to see the {A-Hearts} fall on the turn. The big blind lead out for 25,000 and Johnson made the call.

The river landed the {J-Clubs} and Johnson again called a 25,000-chip bet and tabled {A-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} for top-pair to best his opponent's {K-Spades}{8-Hearts} for King-high.

It's Hama Time at the Berger Bar

We quickly caught the action with the {J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds} of Clark Hamagami racing against the {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} of Barry Berger.

The flop of {K-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} left Berger with back-door outs to a flush and straight as well as his pair outs.

The turn of the {8-Clubs} would bring about one of them, and when the {J-Clubs} landed on the river, the set of Hamagami was run down by the nut-flush of Berger.

With Hamagami crippled on 52,000, Berger doubles through to over 210,000 and change.

David 'Doc Sands' Sands opened under the gun and committed the rest of his chips after the big blind bumped it.

Sands: {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}
Opponent: {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades}

The window would drop the {A-Hearts} to put Sands at risk, but when the eventual flop read {A-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} Sands would snatch the lead back.

No ace or queen would fall on the turn when it came the {6-Diamonds} on the turn and {8-Hearts} on the river as Sands doubles through to 128,000 in chips.
