Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante
Jeff Wade
Jeff Wade

Jeff Wade just won a pot with a set of sixes, where he got paid off on the river.

Wade started the hand by limping in middle position and Sam Doveikis raised behind him to 650. The player in the small blind called the raise, and Wade called as well.

The flop was {10-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{q-Hearts} and all three players checked. The turn was the {j-Diamonds} and the small blind led out for 600. Both Wade and Doveikis called.

The river was the {3-Hearts} and the small blind checked. Wade bet 3,000 and Doveikis folded. The small blind called and Wade won the pot, showing pocket sixes, {6-Spades}{6-Diamonds}.

Youngclaus Gets Some Scratch

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

Phil Youngclaus just doubled up through Garrett Riley, when the two players got all in on the turn.

The board read {9-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{q-Spades} and Riley bet 2,000. Youngclaws raised to 4,800. Riley took a moment to consider and reraised, making it 8,000.

Youngclaws tilted his head in curiousity and took about thirty second to make his decision. He settled on four-bet shoving for his last 26,475. Riley snap called and showed {k-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for a hearth flush. However, Youngclaws held the nut flush with {a-Hearts}{7-Hearts} and doubled up. Riley was drawing dead, so the {9-Diamonds} on the river didn't change the outcome.

Longowa Doubles

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante
John Longowa
John Longowa

John Longowa was in a three-way pot, and by the end of the hand he would double up, cracking the aces of his opponent.

Three players saw the flop for 3,000 a piece. They all checked the flop and the board read {k-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} before betting resumed. Longowa bet 4,000 when the action came to him and the small blind called, while the third player folded.

The river was the {4-Diamonds} and the action checked to Longowa who shoved all in for 13,000 into the almost 20,000 pot. His opponent called and was understandably upset when he saw the {j-}{10-} of Longowa. He turned over pocket aces and whipped them into the muck and Longowa took down the pot.

Moon Starts Fast

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Shortly after taking his seat at the table, Bryan Moon added 4,000 chips to his stack. He fired three times and that turned out to be too much pressure for his opponents.

The action started preflop when Moon raised under the gun to 525 and the two players behind him called. One was defending HPO St. Louis Champion, Linda Lieder.

The flop came {j-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} and Moon led for 725. Both players called.

The turn was the {7-Diamonds} and Moon fired again, this time for 1,600. The next player folded, but Lieder called and the two were heads up to the river.

The river was the {3-Clubs} and Moon quickly grabbed 4,100 chips, and slid them into the pot. The third bet was the charm and Moon took down the pot when Lieder folded.
