Obrestad Takes a Hit

Level 5 : 100/200, 0 ante

We caught the action three-handed on the turn with a board of {7-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{10-Spades}{10-Hearts}. The small blind checked to Grant Hinkle in early position who also checked. Annette Obrestad fired out a bet of 500, the small blind made the call, and Hinkle folded.

The river came {Q-Hearts} and the action went check-check. The small blindflipped up {5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} and Obrestad threw her cards into the muck, knocking her stack down to 2,100.

Dwan Continues to Steamroll Table

Level 5 : 100/200, 0 ante

On a board of {10-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} Tom Dwan fired out a bet of 2,275 from the small blind. The player in the cutoff made the call and we were off to the river. The {K-Clubs} came on the river putting four clubs on the board and after some time Dwan announced that he was all in. His opponent in the cutoff tossed his cards into the muck with a sigh.

"You can see one" Dwan said.

His opponent reached over and flipped up the {J-Diamonds}. This hand brings Dwan up to around 20,000.

Joe Sebok
Joe Sebok

One player raised to 500 from middle position before Joe Sebok reraised to 1,800 from the button. The original raiser called to send him and Sebok to the flop. The {Q-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{6-Diamonds} was spread by the dealer and the first player checked. Sebok bet 2,300 and his opponent check-raised to 7,500. Sebok made the call.

The {8-Clubs} fell on the turn and the middle-position player fired 8,000. Sebok called and was all in for less than his opponent's bet. The middle-position player tabled the {2-Spades}{2-Hearts} while Sebok showed top set with the {Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}.

The river completed the board with the {9-Diamonds} and Sebok doubled up. He's now got about 36,000 in chips.

Grant Hinkle
Grant Hinkle

Grant Hinkle checked the {J-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{4-Spades} flop and his opponent bet 550. Hinkle made the call to see the {K-Spades} fall on the turn. Hinkle checked again, but this time he didn't just call his opponent's 1,250 bet. He check-raised to 2,500. His opponent called. The river was the {8-Hearts} and Hinkle checked. So did his opponent.

Hinkle showed the {A-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}, but lost to the {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} for his opponent and dropped back to 8,000 in chips.
