Brooks Takes One

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

Eric Seiler limped in for under the gun, Peter Brooks called in the hijack, Bill Donnelly called on the button, Todd Bartlett completed out of the small blind, and Andrew Ourth checked in the big blind. The flop fell {a-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{q-Clubs}, both blinds checked, and Seiler tossed out 150. Brooks raised to 525, Donnelly cold-called, and both blinds released. Seiler called.

The turn was the {j-Hearts}, Seiler checked, and Brooks fired out 1,125. Only Seiler called.

The river was a repeat ace - the {a-Diamonds} - and Seiler knuckled once more. Brooks bet 2,700, and it was good enough to win the pot.

Clark's Boat

Level 1 : 25/50, 0 ante

When we reached Table 33, Scotty Clark and an opponent were heads up on a board of {10-Clubs}{j-Spades}{9-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{9-Spades}. Clark fired out a bet of 2,000, and his neighbor to his left hunched before calling.

Clark revealed {9-Spades}{8-Hearts} for a full house, and scooped the pot.

"I got here at the right time," Clark said, smiling.

Koenen Takes from Moneymaker

Level 1 : 25/50, 0 ante

Chris Moneymaker checked to Chris Koenen on a flop of {q-Spades}{10-Clubs}{7-Clubs}, and Koenen tossed out 550. Moneymaker called.

The turn was the {9-Spades}, Moneymaker knuckled again, and Koenen fired out a second bullet worth 1,125. Moneymaker again called.

Both players rapped the felt after the {10-Hearts} completed the board, and Koenen showed {q-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} for a pair of queens.

"Good hand, sir," Moneymaker said, mucking his holdings.
