Steicke Flush'd

Level 7 : 400/800, 75 ante
David Steicke in earlier action
David Steicke in earlier action

David Steicke found himself all in for his last 13,600 against an opponent who had him covered by just over four big blinds.

Steicke: {K-Diamonds}{K-Spades}
Opponent: {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}

The flop of {Q-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{9-Hearts} kept Steicke in the lead, but still had him needing to fade any ace or heart.

The {9-Diamonds} on the turn reduced Steicke's outs to fade by one, but when the {J-Hearts} landed on the river, he was forced to exit the tournament.

Tran Leading the Way

Level 7 : 400/800, 75 ante

Four players were in action on the flop of {9-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{5-Hearts}. The first player checked and the next player fired 3,200. Aaron Tran, the chip leader, made the call and Eddy Sabat folded. The other player folded as well leaving action heads up to the turn.

The turn brought the {10-Hearts} and both players checked to see the {A-Diamonds} on the river. The first player fired 6,000 into Tran. Quickly after, Tran put out a heap full of chips to set the player all in. The player mucked the {K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} and Tran picked up more chips to improve to 115,000.

Rubie Gets Bluffed

Level 7 : 400/800, 75 ante

Brendon Rubie was faced with a bet of 6,500 on the board of {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{8-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds}. He tanked before asking, "Can you beat queens?"

"Call and find out," responded the player.

"I've got two black queens. You looked pretty happy when I said queens," commented Rubie. "I don't think you're bluffing," he finished as he flashed two black queens and tossed them into the muck.

His opponent showed the {7-Hearts}{5-Hearts} for a bluff. "Pretty ballsy," said Rubie.

Pearson Folds Nines

Level 7 : 400/800, 75 ante

Matthew 'onmyVplates' Pearson opened to 1,025 from under the gun only to have an opponent in the cutoff three-bet to 4,625.

After a few minutes of deliberation, Pearson mucked while slipping to just over 17,000 in chips.

"I really didn't know what to do with my hand. Stewie would have pushed though!" stated Pearson.

"What you have?" asked Stewart Scott.

"Nines" answered Pearson.

"Oh yeah of course!" responded Scott.

Shiny Rubie

Level 7 : 400/800, 75 ante

A player opened to 1,000 from middle position and Brendon Rubie called from the cutoff seat. The big blind also came along to the flop of {Q-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{5-Hearts}. After the big blind checked, the original preflop raiser fired 1,800. Rubie called and the big blind folded.

The {K-Hearts} was added to the board on the turn and the original preflop raiser fired 4,500. Rubie called again to see the {2-Diamonds} hit the felt on the river. After his opponent checked, Rubie immediately fired out 11,000. His opponent mucked and Rubie won the pot, moving his stack to 60,000 in chips.

Allan Rivers Swannack

Level 7 : 400/800, 75 ante
Cole Swannack no more
Cole Swannack no more

All of the money went in on the turn with the board reading {9-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} in a hand between Cole Swannack and Dave "dave798111" Allan. Swannack held the {4-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for a flush. He was in front of the {10-Clubs}{9-Spades} for Allan, who had two pair.

The river card spiked Allan with a full house with the {9-Clubs} turning over. Swannack's flush was no longer best and he was the player at risk in the hand with the least amount of chips, sending him to the rail while Allan moved to 90,000 in chips.

Grant Levy

Grant Levy opened to 1,300 from the hijack and both the button and Haibo Chu called (from the big blind).

On a flop of {7-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{6-Spades}, both Chu and Levy checked to the button who fired out a bet of 2,200 to prompt a fold from Chu but a call from Levy.

The {5-Spades} and {4-Spades} would see both players tap the table twice as Levy rolled over his {Q-Spades}{3-Hearts} for a flush. His opponent mucked, and Levy collected the pot to move to 55,400 in chips.
