A Three-Bet and a Shove Go Uncalled

Evan Bethyo raised to 110,000 from under the gun with {k-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}, and Greg Raymer called in the hijack with the {a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}. Marc Yofon woke up with {a-Spades}{a-Clubs} in the cutoff and three-bet to 360,000. Bethyo and Raymer both let their hands go.

Hand #2:

Tim Barany raised to 100,000 from the cutoff with {k-Spades}{10-Spades}, and Bohdan Slyvinskyi three-bet shoved for 955,000 on the button with {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}. Action folded back to Barany, who tanked for a minute before folding.

Flush For Raymer

Level 26 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Greg Raymer raised to 100,000 from the cutoff with {6-Spades}{5-Spades}, and was called by David Gutfreund in the small blind with {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}, and Tim Barany in the big blind with {a-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}.

The {8-Spades}{q-Spades}{7-Hearts} flop had something for everyone, but action checked to Raymer, who held an open-ender and a flush draw. Raymer bet 150,000, and Gutfreund called with top pair, while Barany let his bottom pair go.

The {a-Spades} turn, which would've given Barany aces-up, also gave Raymer a flush. Gutfreund checked, and Raymer bet 300,000. Gutfreund let his pair of queens go.

Gutfreund Gets a Bluff Through

Level 26 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Greg Raymer raised to 100,000 on the button with {q-Spades}{7-Spades}, and David Gutfreund defended in the big blind with {9-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}.

Gutfreund flopped an open-ended straight draw on the {8-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{3-Spades} flop and checked. Raymer continued for 110,000, and Gutfreund called.

The {4-Diamonds} fell on the turn, and Gutfreund checked again. Raymer checked behind.

The {j-Diamonds} river left Raymer with queen-high, but the best hand. Gutfreund, left with a busted straight draw, fired out a bet of 265,000 on a bluff, and Raymer quickly folded.

Dave Gutfreund raised to 120,000 from under the gun, and action folded to Dale Hackney in the big blind. Hackney moved in for 530,000 and Gutfreund called.

Dale Hackney: {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}
David Gutfreund: {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}

Hackney took a big lead on the {2-Spades}{k-Spades}{a-Clubs} flop, leaving Gutfreund looking for a two-outer. Hackney's brutal day continued, however, as the {8-Diamonds} fell on the turn, giving Gutfreund a set. The {4-Spades} river would fail to give Hackney an ace or king, and Gutfreund scored the elimination.
