Tobias Fires a Cold Four

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

A player opened for 400 early, another player made it 1,200 in middle position and John Tobias fired in a cold four-bet to 3,600 on the button. Action folded back to the three-bettor, who mucked fairly quickly. Bryan Skreens cajoled Tobias to show but he dropped his cards in the muck.

On a completed board of {7-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}, Michael Alexander checked in the big blind and Michael Hudson thought a bit and bet 5,200, just under the size of the pot. Alexander called after thinking briefly.

"Two pair?" Hudson half-questioned, showing {7-Clubs}{6-Clubs}.

It was no good as Alexander had better two with {j-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}.

The next hand, Shawn Roberts put in a reraise to 3,200 from under the gun after a number of players were in for 700. Only Gary Leibovitz, on the button, called. The flop came {a-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} and Robert bet 3,200. Leibovitz raised to 8,200 and Roberts instantly called. On the {6-Clubs} turn, Roberts checked and folded to a shove worth about 16,000 effective.

Jim Juvancic was big blind and made either a bet or raise to 2,500 on a {6-Clubs}{a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} flop, which Shawn Roberts called from late position. Both players checked the {a-Diamonds} turn, bringing a {9-Diamonds}. Juvancic shoved and Roberts snap-called his last 7,000 or so.

Juvancic had {a-Spades}{q-Clubs} for the nut full house, while Roberts tabled {a-Hearts}{10-Spades} and headed for the door.

Players are on their first break of the day.

Thurman Barrels Out Hudson

Level 4 : 100/300, 300 ante

Keith Thurman bet 3,000 into about 6,000 from middle position on {3-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} and Michael Hudson called from under the gun. On the {5-Hearts} turn, Hudson checked and Thurman bet 15,000, nearly all of Hudson's chips. He gave it up in short order and then got a rack set in front of him to rebalance a table the staff was opening.

"Noooo," lamented Andy Rogowski. "Skip him, I'll give you $20."

He playfully told Hudson he played "so bad" but Hudson gave the needles right back as he headed to his new locale.
