Ressin Hits Trips on River

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante
Raymond Ressin
Raymond Ressin

There was at least 17,000 in the middle on a board reading {j-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{j-Spades} and Raymond Ressin had checked from the big blind. His opponent, Nelson Resendiz, was on the button and bet 6,000. Ressin called.

Resendiz tabled {a-Spades}{k-Hearts} for kings and jacks with an ace kicker. Ressin showed {j-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}, having flopped a pair of jacks and a flush draw that became three jacks on the river, good for the best hand and the pot to go along with it.

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante
Fred Ertl
Fred Ertl

There was a bit over 1,000 in the pot from preflop action between James Harvey in the small blind, a player in the hijack, and Fred Ertl, who was on the button. Action checked to the hijack, who bet 700, and was called by Ertl. Harvey check-raised all in for his last 8,100 and the hijack went into the tank, ultimately folding. Ertl thought for about 10 seconds and dropped in chips to call.

James Harvey: {3-Spades}{4-Spades}
Fred Ertl: {j-Spades}{5-Spades}

Harvey had check-raised all in with a flush draw and a wheel draw, but found himself with no live flush outs. The turn came {j-Hearts} to give him only three outs left at a wheel, which he missed when the river {q-Hearts} fell, resulting in Ertl winning the pot and securing the elimination.

Gutierrez Enters; Takes Down Pot

Level 3 : 100/300, 0 ante

There was around 7,000 in the pot from preflop action between Chris Moon in the small blind and Zach Gutierrez, who was in middle position. The flop came {j-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{q-Hearts} and Moon bet 2,500. Gutierrez called to bring the turn {q-Clubs}. Both players checked.

The river {2-Clubs} saw both players check again to take the hand to showdown.

Moon showed {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds} for ace-king high to go along with the board's pair of queens. Gutierrez tabled {5-Spades}{5-Diamonds} and took down the pot with queens up, chipping up a bit shortly after sitting down.

Meanwhile, even with the lost pot, the first two-plus levels look to have been kind to Moon, who finds over 45,000 in his stack at present moment.
