Andrews Wins the Showdown

Level 3 : 50/100, 0 ante

On a {j-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} board, the player first to act checked to Cherish Andrews who had the button. She bet 525 and the opponent called. The turn was the {8-Diamonds} and again the opponent check-called a bet of 900. The river was the {9-Diamonds} and this time Cherish slowed down to find herself in a showdown. She tabled {k-Clubs}{8-Hearts} and it was good enough to win the pot and chip her up to 12,000.

Dempsey Gives It Up

On the board of {10-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{7-Spades}, James Dempsey called a bet of 1,000 from his opponent while out of position to the player. We're unsure as to whether Dempsey check-called or bet-called after his opponent raised. Either way, he put an extra 1,000 in against his opponent before seeing the {7-Hearts} pair the board on the river.

Dempsey checked on the end and his opponent bet all in for 2,025. Dempsey thought for a minute or two and then folded his hand. He was left with about one third of the starting stack.

Feldman Busts One

Level 2 : 25/50, 0 ante

In a five way pot with a {2-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} board, Peter Feldman bet 500. The player next to act moved all in for 3,100 and action folded back around to Feldman. He made the call and his {k-}{k-} was well ahead of the {6-Spades}{7-Spades} of his opponent. The turn was the {10-Diamonds} and the river the {j-Diamonds} and Feldman has now chipped up 9,000 as he sends one to the rail early.

Romanello Loses Some

Roberto Romanello started a hand off raising to 200, and received five callers. All five players got to see a {8-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{5-Spades} flop and it was Romanello who bet out 300, he managed to get two callers, a player in early position and a player on the button.

The {9-Hearts} turn lead to a check-call of 700 chips from Romanello and a fold from the player on the button.

The river {6-Spades} brought another check-call of 1,250 from Romanello. The player in late position showed {9-Clubs}{9-Spades} for a set of nines. Romanello was not able to counter and showed the table {K-}{K-} as he folded.

Gromov Caught with His Hand in the Cookie Jar

On a {7-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{6-Hearts} flop we found Dmitry Gromov betting 425 into a single opponent in middle position. The middle position player made the call and both players were awarded the {3-Hearts} on the turn and again Gromov put out a bet, this time 775. After a call from the middle position player it was off to the river.

On the {2-Diamonds} river both players checked, the middle position player showed {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds} for a pair of nines, no flush. Gromov mucked and his opponent said "nice try" and collected the pot.
