Catterson Sends One Away
Level 4
: Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Eliot Catterson raised to 1,000 under the gun and was called by an opponent in middle position and Nathan Jones in the cutoff. The small blind then moved all in for around 12,000, Catterson reshoved for around 26,000, and the rest of the table folded.
"You're ahead, don't worry," Catterson's opponent said as they went to table their cards.
All-In Player: 7♦7♠
Eliot Catterson: A♦Q♦
"Oh, you're not ahead. I was expecting a bigger hand," the all-in player said as the flop came A♥J♠J♣, giving Catterson the lead with two pair.
The board ran out K♥10♠ and Catterson made a straight to send his opponent to the rail.

Barnes Catches a Bluff to Bust One
Level 5
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Three players went to the flop of 3♦2♣9♥ where the button bet 1,800. Stephen Barnes called in early position, as did another opponent in the hijack.
The turn came the 4♦ and action checked to the hijack, who moved all in for 8,500. The button folded, but Barnes snap-called and showed 2♥2♦ for a set.
His opponent could only show Q♥J♦ for queen-high and was already drawing dead before the Q♦ river sealed his elimination.
"Tough sweat," tablemate Abdullah Alshanti joked with Barnes after the hand.
