Tran Bluffs to Eldridge

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante
David Eldridge
David Eldridge

Win Tran bet out 1,150 from the small blind on an {8-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{6-Spades} flop against David Eldridge in middle position, who called. Tran fired again for 2,450 on the {6-Hearts} turn and got another call. He bet 3,500 on the {j-Clubs} river and Eldridge immediately tossed a chip in.

Tran showed {a-Hearts}{7-Hearts} for a busted straight draw, and Eldridge leaned forward to make sure he was seeing the hand correctly before revealing {k-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} for top pair on the flop.

Enders Gets a Perfect Turn

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

A player under the gun bet 3,000 on a board of {9-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{k-Spades}, and Casey Enders made it 7,000 on the scary board. The bettor called, and a {3-Spades} completed the board. Enders bet 11,000 after his opponent checked.

"I should probably get out," the player said, contemplating. Instead, he decided to call.

Enders showed {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} for the nut straight.

"Raise that preflop so I know where you're at," Enders' opponent lamented, showing his bad luck as he flashed {q-Spades} for the small straight.

Williams Holds

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

Mike Williams opened early and then put a short-stacked player at risk with {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}. Williams' opponent was dominated with {a-}{q-}, and a board of {j-Hearts}{2-Spades}{10-Spades}{3-Clubs}{4-Clubs} meant Williams scored the eliminations.

Williams burned through two bullets on Day 1a but looks to be in better shape on Day 1b thus far.

Win Tran
Win Tran

Win Tran bet 4,100 after a lone opponent checked to him in a three-bet pot on a {k-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} flop. The player called after some thought and then checked the {7-Spades}. Tran tossed 8,000 in, and his opponent asked to see Tran's chips, noting just 1,400 behind. He put Tran all in, who quickly called.

Tran: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}
Opponent: {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}

Tran was fading just two outs, and he improved to a boat on the {k-Clubs} river.

Cunix Gets Lucky

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante
Shawn Cunix
Shawn Cunix

In a pot that looked to have a raise and numerous calls, a player three-bet to about 1,500 from the blinds, and action folded to Shawn Cunix, the last player to act. He shoved all in from late position, and the player in the blinds snap-called for 16,775.

Cunix: {q-Clubs}{5-Clubs}
Opponent: {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}

"Oh, I didn't want you to have ace-queen," Cunix said as {3-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{9-Clubs} flopped. "But I have clubs."

The {7-Diamonds} bricked the turn, but the {k-Clubs} filled his draw on the river. The player took the beat in stride, reaching out to shake Cunix's hand.

"I thought you would fold, I really did," Cunix said.
