Scott Hall

Seven players limped in to see the {q-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{4-Hearts} flop and the action checked to Scott Hall as he put in a bet of 1,500. Both the button and the early position limper made the call.

The {j-Hearts} landed on the turn and the early position player checked to Hall before he fired in 3,500. The button folded and the early position player made the call.

The {9-Spades} completed the board and once checked to, Hall fired for a third time, this time putting 6,000 across the line. His opponent instantly tossed their cards into the muck and the dealer shipped the pot to Hall.

Steve Wunderlich

Four players put in 1,600 each and the flop came {j-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{7-Hearts}. Steve Wunderlich checked from the small blind and the big blind checked before there was a bet of 2,000. The player last to act made the call and Wunderlich called as well.

The {k-Clubs} landed on the turn and all three players checked.

When the {7-Spades} hit the river, Wunderlich paused for about 10 seconds. Eventually, he asked the dealer if it was on him and fired out a bet of 2,000. Only the player in late position made the call and Wunderlich tabled {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}, making queens and sevens and his opponent mucked his hand.

With five players in, and about 5,000 chips in the middle, the flop read {9-Hearts}{6-Spades}{3-Clubs}. The small blind led out for 700 and was called by Mary Stevenson next to act, as well as three other players behind.

The {10-Spades} fell on the turn and the small blind continued for a bet of 1,600 before Stevenson raised it to 5,000. The action quickly folded back to the original raiser who took a few moments before tossing his hand into the muck.
