Tough Table

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 0 ante

One of the most interesting tables in the room #295. Currently seated there are McLean Karr, Isaac Haxton, Eric Baldwin, Shawn Buchanan, Nicolas Levi, Darryll Fish, and Sorel Mizzi. Ty Reiman also started at that table before being bust and replaced by Steve Billarakis.

In a recent hand, Karr and Haxton tangled on a board reading {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{7-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}. With about 5,600 in the pot, Karr check-called a bet of 4,000 from Haxton, leading to the {6-Diamonds} on the river. Again Karr check-called a bet, this time 10,500, and Haxton showed {A-Hearts}{8-Spades}. However, Karr rolled over {Q-Clubs}{J-Clubs} for trips and the winning hand.

Karr is up to 150,000 while Haxton dropped to 60,000.

Nichols' River Bet Gets It Done

Grayson Nichols raised to 2,300 from early position and received a single call from Daniel Negreanu on the button. When the flop fell {A-Spades}{10-Hearts}{7-Hearts}, Nichols led out for 3,600, Negreanu called, and the dealer burned and turned the {3-Hearts}.

Both players proceeded to check and watched as the {K-Clubs} rolled off on the river. Nichols decided to bet 7,100 and Negreanu conceded the hand.

Don't Sign It Quite Yet

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 0 ante

We found this all in on the flop of {2-Hearts} {K-Spades} {10-Spades} between Barry Greenstein and Masa Kagawa. Greenstein tabled {A-Spades} {8-Spades} for the nut flush draw, and Kagawa had top pair with {K-Clubs} {10-Clubs}. The turn and river bricked for Greenstein when it came {2-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs}.

Greenstein picked up his copy of "Ace on the River" and started signing it. The dealer counted down Kagawa's stack and realized that Greenstein had 1,800 left. Greenstein made some more notes in the book before stacking his chips.
