"I Should Have Gone More Aggressive"

Level 6 : 150/300, 25 ante

With around 10,000 in the pot and a board reading {7-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{10-Spades}, award-winning actress and WSOP bracelet winner Jennifer Tilly bet 4,000, only to have Eric Blair raise all in for 8,325 total. Tilly didn't seem too excited, but she made the call nonetheless.

Blair: {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
Tilly: {5-Hearts}{4-Hearts}

"I should have gone more aggressive on the flop, I guess," Tilly lamented upon seeing Blair had made a set. The {J-Clubs} river failed to give her the flush, and Blair doubled on the hand.

Loosli Fails to Get There

Level 6 : 150/300, 25 ante

In one of the last hands from Level 5, Steve Gross opened for 500 from early position and Sylvain Loosli pushed back with a three-bet to 1,250 from middle position. When action reached the player in the big blind, he opted for a four-bet to 2,750, which inspired Gross to fold. Loosli opted to come along and it was heads-up action to the {q-Spades}{8-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} flop.

The big blind led out for 2,500 and then snap-called off for 7,200 total when Loosli moved all in.

Loosli: {a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}
Opponent: {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}

Loosli held a double gutshot straight draw, but he failed to get there as the {6-Spades} blanked on the turn, followed by the {4-Diamonds} on the river.

Crane Doesn't Fall for Jaffee's Trap

Level 5 : 100/200, 25 ante

On a {Q-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} flop, Jared Jaffee checked over to Russell Crane in the next seat along. Crane bet 625 and Jaffee called.

Both players checked the {3-Clubs} turn and the {4-Hearts} river, where it became apparent Jaffee was setting a trap, as he had the {K-Spades} in his hand and had Crane easily beat.

The Grinder of the Graner

Level 5 : 100/200, 25 ante

On a flop of {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}, Stephen Graner checked from the small blind and the player in the big did the same. The under-the-gun player then bet 400 and Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi min-raised to 800 from middle position. Graner flatted, the big blind folded, and the under-the-gun player got out of the way.

Graner then check-called a bet of 1,525 on the {2-Hearts} turn before both players checked the {2-Diamonds} river. Mizrachi tabled the {7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} for two pair, but Graner held a better two pair with the {j-Hearts}{j-Spades}.
