Kings Good for Ross

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

John Ross opened to 1,100 from under the gun and got four callers.

Ross bet 2,500 on the flop of {5-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{q-Spades} and only Anthony Ambrosio called. Ross then bet 5,000 on the {4-Clubs} turn and Ambrosio again called.

The river was a blank and Ross checked before his opponent checked back. Ross showed {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds} for an overpair and Ambrosio showed {10-Clubs}{8-Hearts} for a missed straight draw.

Samson Busts Schehr with Straight Over Straight

Level 3 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

The under the gun player opened to 600 and Ren Lin, Shehryar Samson and Thomas Schehr all called before the button three-bet to 2,000. The big blind called, the under the gun player folded and everyone else called.

Action checked to Schehr in the hijack on the flop of {5-Spades}{4-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} and he led out for 3,000. Only Samson called. Samson checked on the {8-Spades} turn and Schehr bet 9,000. Samson check-raised all in and Schehr called with a slightly smaller stack.

Thomas Schehr: {8-Clubs}{7-Clubs}
Shehryar Samson: {9-Hearts}{7-Hearts}

Schehr had flopped a straight but Samson had turned a bigger straight before the {q-Spades} on the river marked Schehr's elimination.

"Flopped it," he said as he left.
