Stevenson Triples

Level 8 : 250/500, 50 ante

Chris Moneymaker raised to 1,100 in the hijack, Barry Schultz called in the cutoff, and Ryan Stevenson moved all in for 6,525 on the button. Both Moneymaker and Schultz called, and the two checked on every street as the flop, turn, and river came {k-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{8-Spades}{9-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}.

Moneymaker tabled {q-Clubs}{j-Hearts} for queen-high, Schultz had him pipped with {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} for ace-high, and Stevenson successfully tripled when he tabled {4-Spades}{4-Clubs} for a pair of fours.

Another All In and Chop

Level 8 : 250/500, 50 ante

Ryan Stevenson raised to 1,100 from early position, Lee Childs called in the hijack, Jonathan Hart called in the cutoff, and Chris Moneymaker defended his big blind.

The flop fell {q-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{k-Hearts}, Moneymaker checked, and Stevenson continued for 2,200. Childs raised to 5,100, Hart tank-folded, and Moneymaker made the call. Hart called as well, and the turn was the {5-Spades}.

Moneymaker fired out three grey T5,000 chips, Stevenson folded, and Childs moved all in. Moneymaker snap-called. Both players were worried about a set of eights, but they both had the same hand.

Moneymaker: {k-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Childs: {k-Spades}{q-Spades}

A meaningless {3-Spades} completed the board, and the two chopped the pot.

Stevenson and Hart Battle Twice

Level 8 : 250/500, 50 ante

Jonathan Hart opened to 1,100 in middle position, Ryan Stevenson defended his big blind, and the flop fell {10-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{2-Spades}. Stevenson checked, Hart continued for 900, and Stevenson check-raised to 3,000. Hart folded.

The very next hand Hart opened to 1,100 again, and Stevenson called out of the small blind. Both players checked on a flop of {2-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{8-Spades}, the turn brought the {3-Clubs}, and Stevenson led out for 1,250. Hart called.

The river was the {10-Diamonds}, Stevenson fired out another 4,250, and Hart raised to 9,225. Stevenson snap-folded.
