Visher More than Doubles With Nuts

Level 6 : 200/400, 400 ante
Barb Visher
Barb Visher

David Bybee opened to 1,200 from under the gun and received calls from the player to his left as well as the hijack. Action then folded around to Barb Visher in the small blind, who called. The big blind defended to take action to the streets five ways.

The dealer fanned a flop of {6-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{3-Spades} and Visher checked. The big blind led out with a bet of 2,000 and Bybee called. The player to Bybee's left and the hijack both folded, bringing action back to Visher. She made the call. The turn fell {2-Clubs} and Visher checked.

The big blind bet again, putting out 2,800. Both Bybee and Visher called. The river came {7-Hearts} and Visher checked once more. The big blind fired for a third time, betting 3,500. Bybee then put in a raise to 13,000 and Visher looked at her stack of 16,800 before putting it in. The big blind folded.

"I have to call," said Bybee. His hand was tabled to be {j-Clubs}{9-Clubs} for flush.

Visher turned over {a-Clubs}{5-Clubs} for the nut flush and the dealer counted out her stack to confirm it as she patiently awaited the pot she had just won.

Zipprich Wins Flip To Double

Level 6 : 200/400, 400 ante

The dealer was in the process of counting out the three flop cards as Stephen Zipprich had gotten all in preflop from the cutoff with action from a player in middle position.

Stephen Zipprich: {a-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}
Opponent: {5-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}

The board ran out {4-Hearts}{a-Spades}{q-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}, giving Zipprich a pair of aces on the flop that held as he secured the double.

Lekarczyk Gets Value from Zoller, Then Doubles Him

Level 6 : 200/400, 400 ante

With over 22,000 in the pot on the river with a board of {a-Spades}{8-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{6-Clubs}, Nate Zoller was in the cutoff and checked to Mitch Lekarczyk, who was on the button. Lekarczyk bet 5,000 and Zoller sheepishly tossed in a chip to call.

Lekarczyk tabled {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} for a pair of aces and Zoller mucked, leaving himself with around 5,000 behind.

Shortly thereafter, Zoller got his stack all in preflop with {q-}{j-} to the pocket aces of Lekarczyk and hit both a queen and a jack on the flop en route to a double, putting him just shy of a 30 big-blind stack.

Givens Enters the Building

Level 5 : 150/300, 300 ante
Will Givens
Will Givens

Will Givens was seen taking his seat about 35 minutes ago and has already chipped up to around two-and-a-half times the starting stack. With over $2.3 million in live earnings including a second-place finish in a $600 WSOP event this summer for $245,606, Givens is surely a name to pay attention to as the day unfolds.

Granowsky Takes One On River

Level 5 : 150/300, 300 ante

Action was five ways on the turn with 14,300 in the pot on a board of {8-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{q-Spades}. Barb Visher checked in the small blind, as did the big blind. Jeff Granowsky was in early position and bet 7,000. Action was then on Nate Zoller in middle position, who studied the situation before calling. The final player in the hand was the cutoff and he folded, as did both the blinds.

The remaining two players proceeded to the river {2-Spades} and Granowsky fired another 11,000 forward. Zoller commented about how well he played his hand in a sarcastic manner as he sent his cards to the muck and Granowsky took down the pot.
