Level 5 : 250/500, 75 ante

We missed the preflop action but saw Curt Kohlberg table {A-Hearts}{j-Clubs} after getting a chunk of change in against an all-in opponent.

That man rolled over {q-Spades}{8-Spades} to find he held live cards, but the final board rolled out clean for Kohlberg, coming {5-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} to send the pot his way.

King Me

Level 5 : 250/500, 75 ante

We saw John Andress reraise to 3,600 after an undetermined open from Taylor von Kriegenbergh under the gun.

The pro decided to put the pressure back on Andress with a four-bet to 6,500. Andress took his time to make a decision, beginning one of many extended tanks during this slow burn of hand. Finally, he came along for the ride and the flop fell {k-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{2-Spades}.

With his own freeze job on the flop now underway, von Kriegenbergh staring across the table for a while before leading out with a 5,300 wager. After a minute or so, Andress flatted and fourth street came {6-Clubs}. Both players knuckled the felt on the turn, and the {5-Hearts} completed the board on the river.

Another exchange of long tanks ultimate produced nothing but checks, and von Kriegenbergh asked "ace nine?" while tabling his {a-Clubs}{9-Hearts}. Andress answered without a word, showing his {k-Hearts}{q-Spades} to claim the pot with top pair.

Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeets

Level 5 : 250/500, 75 ante

After folding to a three-bet from Chris Klodnicki, Tom Sheets once again put in a preflop raise. This one was from under the gun, and Klodnicki met it with another three-bet, re-raising to 5,025 on the button.

Sheets wasn't backing down this time, four-betting to 20,075, and Klodnicki turned his attention away from his OFC game on his iPad to study the bet. Eventually, he moved all in for effectively 42,875, and Sheets made the call with {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}.

Klodnicki revealed {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}, and the {7-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{q-Spades} flop gave him four outs to Broadway. Unfortunately for him the turn and river bricked {5-Clubs}, {7-Spades} respectively, and Sheets doubled through. Klodnicki slipped to 47,000 chips.
