Morris Holds Versus Heidbrick

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Amanda Heidbrick
Amanda Heidbrick

On an {8-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{5-Hearts} flop, Mark Morris had at risk big blind Amanda Heidbrick, who had about 300,000 and tabled {a-Hearts}{4-Hearts} for the nut flush draw.

"No heart," Morris urged, showing {a-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}.

Heidbrick, for her part, was just as vocal calling for a heart but her calls went unheeded as the {q-Diamonds} turn was followed by a {3-Diamonds} river.

Billy Wolfe
Billy Wolfe

Down to his last 150,000, Billy Wolfe shoved all in from the small blind and was at risk against Keith Heine, who opened the pot in middle position with {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}. Wolfe had {k-Spades}{j-Clubs} and the {k-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{j-Spades} was the flop he was looking for. The {q-Clubs} and {8-Clubs} kept him best for the double.

Big Folds from Schaafsma

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Dennis Ng opened for 40,000 in the hijack and Lavonne Schaafsma made it 100,000 in the cutoff. Action folded back to Ng, and he thought about 30 seconds then announced all in. Schaafsma thought only briefly, smiled and said something to Ng then mucked {a-}{k-} face up.

Stone Cooler in Wazwaz's Favor

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Rob Wazwaz
Rob Wazwaz

In a battle of blinds, Rob Wazwaz in the big got all in against Artem Zverkhovskyy, the latter holding {k-}{k-}. However, Wazwaz held {a-Spades}{a-Clubs} for the cooler and the {8-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{9-Spades}{4-Spades}{5-Diamonds} board was clean for him. He collected 182,000 but couldn't stop talking about the earlier hand against Chris Moon.

"I wish the young man would tell me but I know he won't," he lamented.

"Guess I Can Blame Myself for This"

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Bret Martin bet 45,000 out of the big blind on a {6-Spades}{q-Spades}{7-Diamonds} flop, about half the size of the pot. Keith Heine made it 125,000 on the button and Martin responded with an all-in shove after some thought. Heine stretched and began thinking.

"Guess I can blame myself for this," he said. "Thought I had the best hand. You don't know how good of a hand I have."

After about a minute, Heine released.

Wazwaz Bet-Folds River for Heaps

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Rob Wazwaz was big blind and put in 125,000 into about 300,000 on {5-Clubs}{5-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{9-Spades}. Opponent Chris Moon, on the button, tanked a long time then shoved all in. It was enough to put Wazwaz at risk for his last 105,000 or so and he took his own tanking time.

"So sick," he muttered, pointing at the {9-Spades}.

Finally, he folded.
