Hastings Leads the Way

Level 9 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Brian Hastings

A completed board of the {j-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} was spread across the table and Brian Hastings had a pot-sized bet of 107,500 sitting in front of him. With a third player already all-in on the turn, Yueqi Zhu was in the tank and eventually made the call.

All three hands must be shown and Hastings had no problem revealing his {a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{2-Hearts} for the nut-nut. Zhu turned over the {a-}{7-}{6-}{3-} while the third player held the {j-}{j-}{9-}{2-}.

Faris Calls Dzivielevski's Bluff

Level 9 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Yuri Dzivielevski raised it up from the hijack and was called by Ken Aldridge on the button and Joshua Faris in the big blind. The flop came the {q-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{4-Clubs} and the action checked around to the {10-Diamonds} on the turn.

Faris led out with a be of 8,000 which Dzivielevski called and Aldridge folded. The {5-Spades} completed the board and Faris checked this time. Dzivielevski stuck in a bet of 22,000 which made Faris squirm in his chair. After a minute passed, Faris called and Dzivielevski showed the {a-Hearts}{8-}{7-Hearts}{3-} for a missed flush draw. Faris tabled the {9-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{3-Hearts} for a straight to win the pot.

Oxman Flops Kings-Full to Score Double KO

Level 9 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Ari Oxman opened to 4,000 from under the gun and Nathaniel Wiesner three-bet to 13,500 in the cutoff. Allen Kessler stuck in the last of his 2,500 chips on the button and Oxman called to build a side pot.

The {k-Spades}{4-Spades}{4-Hearts} came on the flop and Oxman checked to Wiesner who moved all in for a little less than 15,000. Oxman snap-called and turned over the {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{j-Spades} for kings-full. Both Wiesner and Kessler were left drawing to runner-runner outs but the {q-Spades} and {a-Diamonds} would be of no help as they both were sent to the rail.

Wilkerson Scoops, Toma Eliminated

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Dylan Wilkerson raised to 2,500 in the hijack and was called by Tsugunari Toma and Joshua Faris in the blinds. The flop came {6-Spades}{6-Clubs}{4-Spades} and the action checked around to the {8-Clubs} on the turn.

Toma jammed all in for 6,300 and Faris called. Wilkerson came over the top and pushed all in for 29,600. Faris asked for a count and went into the tank for a couple of minutes before finally making the call.

Tsugunari Toma: {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}
Dylan Wilkerson: {a-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}
Joshua Faris: {k-Spades}{q-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}

Wilkerson turned a straight with the nut-low to hold a commanding lead. The {a-Spades} on the river managed to brick out and Wilkerson held on to scoop the entire pot, eliminating Toma.

Nut-Nut for Taylor

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Esther Taylor
Esther Taylor

Esther Taylor limped in from under the gun which invited three other players to see a flop of {6-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}. The blinds checked and Taylor tossed in a bet of 2,500 which only the button called.

The turn brought the {j-Clubs} and both players checked to the {2-Hearts} on the river. Taylor threw in a bet of 8,000 and her opponent contemplated for a minute but decided to fold. Taylor showed {a-Spades}{7-Hearts}{5-Spades} for the nut-high and the nut-low as she dragged in the pot.
