Gardner Happy to Show Kings

Level 4 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

John Gardner bet 3,000 from early position on a board of 6JQQ and an opponent in middle position called.

"That's the problem with having customers," Gardner said as he tossed in another 2,000 on the 2 river. His opponent again quickly called.

"Ace-jack," Gardner's opponent said, but Gardner showed KK.

"Are you happy now," another tablemate said to Gardner as he raked in the pot.

Level 4 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Eliot Catterson
Eliot Catterson

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: 77
Eliot Catterson: AQ

"Oh, you're not ahead. I was expecting a bigger hand," the all-in player said as the flop came AJJ, giving Catterson the lead with two pair.

The board ran out K10 and Catterson made a straight to send his opponent to the rail.

The button raised to 600 before Man Li three-bet to 2,000 in the small blind. Stephen Cherry then four-bet to 6,200 and only Li called.

Both players checked to the river on a board of 33925 and Li then checked again.

"Six," Cherry announced, tossing in two yellow 5,000 chips. The dealer said his bet was only 600, while Cherry argued he meant to bet 6,000.

The floor was called over, but Li ended up folding and Cherry took the pot.
