Melton Catches Opponent Reaching Into Cookie Jar

Level 3 : 200/300, 300 ante

An early position player opened to 1,000 and a late position player flat-called, as did Joshua Melton in the big blind.

The early position player bet 2,000 on the {7-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} flop and the late position player snap-raised all-in for 15,000. Melton called and the early position player folded.

Opponent: {7-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}
Joshua Melton: {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}

"Uh-oh, got caught with my hand in the cookie jar," the opponent said before the cards were tabled to show himself in terrible shape against top set.

The board finished out {a-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} and Melton took down the pot with a set of tens, while the opponent hit the rail.

Aces Hold for Newton

Level 2 : 100/200, 200 ante

Tobias Newton opened to 700 from under the gun and two players in middle position called, as did the player on the button.

Newton continued with a bet of 1,300 on the flop of {9-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{k-Spades} and both middle position players called. The button then moved all-in for 7,500 and Newton re-shoved, which prompted folds from both middle position players.

Opponent: {k-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
Tobias Newton: {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}

Newton was ahead with his overpair and his aces held up as the board finished out {9-Spades}{4-Clubs} to send the opponent to the rail.

Lutz Gets Value to Double Up

Level 2 : 100/200, 200 ante

Casey Lutz was in position in a heads-up pot against the small blind on a board reading {6-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}. The opponent led out for 7,000 and Lutz moved all-in for around 17,000 total.

The opponent speculated that Lutz was on a flush draw and eventually tossed in a call.

Casey Lutz: {k-Clubs}{10-Clubs}
Opponent: {8-Spades}{6-Spades}

Lutz was not on a flush draw and was instead ahead with top pair, which held up for a double as the river bricked off the {2-Diamonds}.

Wedra Starts Day with Kings-Versus-Queens Cooler

Level 1 : 100/200, 0 ante

Angelo Wedra was seen getting an early double-up holding {k-Spades}{k-Hearts} through his neighbor, who was pipped with {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} and had Wedra covered. The board read {6-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{10-Spades}{j-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} for the kings of Wedra to hold up.

"I thought you had aces," Wedra said.

"Yeah, you thought that," grumbled the opponent, who was out before the end of Level 1.
