Nolen Doubles With Nut Flush

Level 6 : 200/500, 500 ante

With about 4,000 in the pot on a {7-Spades}{5-Clubs}{2-Spades}{4-Spades} board in a four-handed pot, a player bet 1,500 and was called by all three opponents, one of which was Bob Nolen in late position. The river brought a {3-Hearts} and the same player led for 5,200, getting one call and one fold before Nolen went all in for his last 12,200. The original bettor called and Nolan showed {a-Spades}{9-Spades} for a turned nut flush, more than doubling his stack.

Abel Surging

Level 6 : 200/500, 500 ante
Griffin Abel
Griffin Abel

Two players limped in before the cutoff raised it to 2,500. The big blind called, as did the limpers, and everyone checked to {8-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} on fourth street. Action checked to the cutoff, who bet 4,000. The big blind called, and Griffin Abel raised to 12,000 from the hijack. Only the cutoff continued and it was heads up to the {3-Diamonds} river.

Abel threw in 20,000, about half of his opponent's remaining chips. That player thought for around a minute then tossed in calling chips but couldn't beat {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades} for eights full.

Ali's Flush Good

Level 6 : 200/500, 500 ante

With 3,600 in the pot on a {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{4-Spades} flop, the hijack bet 2,300 after both players in the blinds checked. Ricky Ali called from the small blind, as did the player in the big blind. The turn came {j-Hearts} and action was again checked to the hijack. He bet 3,000, Ali called, and the big blind folded. Ali then led out 9,000 on a {5-Spades} river and the hijack ended up calling after about a minute in the tank.

Both players tabled their cards, with Ali showing {5-Hearts}{3-Hearts} for a turned flush to beat his opponent's turned set with {j-Diamonds}{j-Spades}.

Nolen Finds a Double

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante
Bob Nolen
Bob Nolen

We didn't see who the aggressor was, but small blind Bob Nolen got his last 10,400 in on the river in a battle of the blinds, with {7-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{j-Hearts} on the felt. Nolen tabled {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs} for the nuts and scooped up the double to get back above starting stack.

Yin Wins With Broadway

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante

With three players in the pot on a {a-}{q-}{10-} flop, Hae Yin bet 2,200 into a pot of around 3,000. Adam Friedman folded from the cutoff, and a third payer called on the button. The turn was another {a-} and Yin checked. His opponent fired a bet of 6,800 into the pot, and Yin called. The river came a {9-}. Yin checked and then verbally announced a call after his opponent bet 9,200.

His opponent showed {8-}{5-} and Yin showed {k-}{j-} for a flopped Broadway, good enough to take down the pot for almost 40,000.

Breuning Finds the Call Button

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante

Blind versus blind, Angelo Breuning bet 2,500 on a completed board of {k-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{7-Spades}{10-Hearts}. He had bet the flop against his lone opponent, with the turn being checked through. The river, though, saw significant action as the big blind raised to 8,400. Breuning went into the tank for about 30 seconds then dropped in calling chips.

The big blind showed {9-Spades}{7-Diamonds} for bottom pair and Breuning tabled {k-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} for kings up.

Visbisky Takes Down Four-Bet Pot on Flop

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante

On a three-handed flop with about 3,000 in the pot, Alex Visbisky checked from the big blind on a flop of {j-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{5-Spades}. The cutoff checked, and the player on the button bet 2,300. Visbisky raised to 6,600, and his opponent quickly reraised to 14,000. Visbisky four-bet all in for his opponent's 16,000 remaining. His opponent thought for a some time and eventually conceded the pot, giving Visbisky kudos for a nice hand. He now has around 60,000.
