Cahn Gets Stacks In

Level 2 : 100/200, 200 ante
Ethan Cahn
Ethan Cahn

Adam Wilbur opened the action with a raise to 600 in middle position and was called by Bob Sweeney on the Button and Ethan Cahn in the big blind. The flop fell {4-Spades}{3-Spades}{5-Spades} and Cahn checked to Wilbur, who continuation-bet 2,400. Both Sweeney and Cahn called.

The turn came {5-Clubs} and Cahn checked again. Wilbur fired a second barrel of 6,000 and once again saw two calls, bringing the river {10-Clubs} on board. Cahn checked once more.

"All in," said Wilbur with a covering stack to both of his opponents. Sweeney went into the tank for close to a minute and then called, and Cahn quickly called all in behind as well for 19,800.

Bob Sweeney: {6-Hearts}{6-Clubs}
Ethan Cahn: {q-Spades}{9-Spades}
Adam Wilbur: {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}

Wilbur's bluff with the nut-flush draw had run into Cahn's flopped flush, earning Cahn both pots and vaulting him up to 80,000 in the process.

Dodson Fires Twice

Level 2 : 100/200, 200 ante
Ryan Dodson
Ryan Dodson

Three players went to a flop of {a-Spades}{7-Clubs}{3-Clubs} in a single-raised pot and Ryan Dodson bet 1,000 after the big blind checked to him. Phil Gioia called on the button and the big blind stuck around as well.

The big blind checked again on the turn {3-Diamonds} and Dodson fired out another 3,200. Gioia folded and the big blind folded behind, earning Dodson the pot.

"You guys didn't wanna see that one," said Dodson with a laugh as he collected his newly earned chips.

Kevin Kurtz
Kevin Kurtz

The board read {6-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{7-Spades} with around 17,000 in the middle as Kevin Kurtz got his remaining 18,400 into the middle in the hijack against a player in middle position.

Kevin Kurtz: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}
Middle Position: {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades}

"Gah!" said Kurtz's opponent as he saw the bad news and the river {10-Diamonds} completed the runout. "Nice hand."

Savitz Coolers Miller for Stacks

Level 1 : 100/100, 100 ante

Paul Miller in the hijack and Abraham Savitz on the button were just seen getting stacks in on the turn of a board reading {3-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{4-Spades}{q-Diamonds}. Savitz had the covering stack.

Paul Miller: {5-Clubs}{5-Hearts}
Abraham Savitz: {a-Spades}{3-Spades}

Miller's set of fives was out in front but in need of fading nut-flush and wheel outs to score the double. He was unable to do so as {10-Spades} rolled onto the felt to give Savitz the nuts and bring him close to 50K in the opening level of play for the day.

Two Players Make Two Pair

Level 1 : 100/100, 100 ante

Action went three handed to a flop of {q-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{5-Spades} with the dealer pulling 800 into the center from each player. Abraham Savitz checked in the big blind and Nader Wahdan bet 2,300. The player on his left folded and then Savitz called.

Both players checked the turn {4-Hearts} and Savitz fired out 3,000 on the river {3-Clubs}. Wahdan called to take the hand to showdown.

Savitz showed {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs} for top two pair and Wahdan turned over a second-best aces up {a-Clubs}{4-Clubs}, resulting in the pot being shipped to Savitz.
