Seven-Deuce Isn't Good For Guilbert
Level 1
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
After an open by the hijack, the cutoff and the button called, as well as Johan Guilbert in the big blind.
On J♦K♦6♣, everybody checked to discover the J♠ on the turn. On this second street, Guilbert took the lead by betting a single blind of 200. The hijack and the cutoff kept calling.
The river was the A♣, and Guilbert checked. Both players after him checked as well and Guilbert showed 7♦2♦ for a whiffed flush draw. The hijack had Q♠10♠ for a straight hit on the river and the pot went into his hands.

Kabrhel Overbets Turn and Bombs River
Level 1
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Action was picked up with Martin Kabrhel betting 10,000 into a pot of about 6,000 on a board of 10♦8♠2♦J♣ from the hijack. The button tanked for a moment before putting in the call.
The river brought a J♠ and Kabrhel went into the tank for over two minutes before putting out a green 25k chip and announcing "Nineteen thousand six hundred."
The button thought it over for a long time before eventually laying it down.
"I never bluff. I play safe poker. I would never bluff on Day 1. Wait 'til Day 4 and bluff my stack." Martin said as he dragged the pot. "I had the nuts, Jack-ten" he remarked, but no one will ever know.
