Good Call Goes Unrewarded for Ivens

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Tom Koral raised to 3,400 from middle position, and Todd Ivens called on the button. Kevin Andriamahefa three-bet shoved for 17,200 in the small blind, and Koral folded. Ivens tanked for a bit before making the call.

Kevin Andriamahefa: {k-Spades}{q-Hearts}
Todd Ivens: {a-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

Andriamahefa pulled far ahead after the {4-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{k-Hearts} flop gave him top pair and a flush draw, and Ivens couldn't catch back up on the {9-Clubs} turn or {6-Hearts} river.

Ivens Gets a Double

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Todd Ivens three-bet shoved for 37,500 over a raise from Andy Ernstein, and Ernstein made the call to put Ivens at risk.

Todd Ivens: {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}
Andy Ernstein: {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}

Ernstein's eights fell way behind on the {2-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{4-Spades} flop, and the {10-Hearts} turn and {2-Hearts} river sent the double to Ivens.

Straight Flushin' for Maahs

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Kevin Maahs jammed for 25,800 from the cutoff, and Jeffrey Orlowski called in the small blind.

Kevin Maahs: {8-Hearts}{7-Hearts}
Jeffrey Orlowski: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

"That's a good flop," Maahs said as the {7-Spades}{6-Hearts}{10-Hearts} flop gave him a pair and a gutshot straight flush draw. The {9-Hearts} turn filled Maahs' straight flush, and Orlowski smiled and said, "That good enough for ya?" before the {10-Spades} fell on the river.

"I Like Doin' That!"

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Michael Banducci bet 8,500 from the button on a {4-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} flop, and Jeffrey Orlowski check-raised to 17,000 in early position. Banducci called.

The {j-Hearts} fell on the turn, and Orlowski placed his columns of chips together, before pushing them all out in front of him for an all-in wager of around 110,000. Banducci folded before Orlowski could even get the chips all the way in front of him.

"I like doin' that!" Orlowski said as he pulled his chips back.
