Jarzabek Building

Level 3 : 100/200, 200 ante

Casey Jarzabek raised to 600 from the button and both blinds came along to see a flop of {5-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{10-Spades}.

Action checked to Jarzabek for a 1,300 bet. The small blind called and the big blind tossed it in the muck before the dealer put down a {3-Spades} on the return.

Both players checked the turn and the {k-Diamonds} river. Jarzabek turned over {6-Spades}{5-Spades} and took the pot when his opponent tossed the losing hand in the muck.

Jarzabek is building early and he is looking for his second win of the series after taking down the $360 Monster Stack for $13,324.

Beetz Doubles with a Straight

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante
Bradley Beetz
Bradley Beetz

David Dibernardi raised to 2,500 from middle position and a player in the cutoff called before Bradley Beetz came along from the button.

The flop was {4-Hearts}{6-Spades}{7-Clubs} and the action checked to Beetz on the button for a 6,200 bet. Dibernardi folded and the player in the cutoff called.

The dealer burned and turned the {3-Spades} and the cutoff checked. Beetz shoved his last 10,800 and his opponent went into the tank. After several moments, the cutoff emerged and tossed out calling chips. Beets turned over {5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} for the straight and his opponent had {9-Hearts}{7-Hearts} for top pair.

The river was an inconsequential {6-Diamonds} and Beetz held on to secure a big double in early Day 1a action.
