Garshofsky Fires Away

Level 3 : 100/300, 0 ante

There was about 3,500 in the pot from preflop action as a flop of {5-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{3-Spades} was spread. The small blind checked, as did Mitch Garshofsky in the big blind. A player in early position checked behind to put action on David Levy, who bet 2,600 from the hijack. Rory Hayes was the last player in the hand and folded from the button, as did the small blind.

Action was then back on Garshofsky, who check-raised to 9,000. The early-position player folded and Levy called, leaving two players in contention for the pot.

The turn fell {8-Spades} and Garshofsky continued, betting another 10,000. Levy looked at his stack, counting out some of the chips from his tall stack of T100 chips. He then slid his cards forward from the five-seat to the center of the table for the dealer to muck, resulting in the pot being sent to Garshofsky.

Ambrosio Finds a Double

Level 3 : 100/300, 0 ante

A player in early position raised to 900 and was called by the player on his direct left in middle position. John Ambrosio was in the hijack and went all in for 2,700. Action then folded to David Levy, who went all in for 20,500 from the small blind, isolating the rest of the players out of the pot in the process.

John Ambrosio: {7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}
David Levy: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}

Ambrosio found gin on the flop {5-Clubs}{6-Spades}{7-Hearts}, needing only to fade running straight outs at a chop in order to double. The turn {5-Hearts} gave him a full house and secured the double as the river {q-Clubs} completed the runout and he was paid.

Geller Hits a River

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

There was around 5,400 in the middle on a board of {8-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} and Greg Geller had bet 3,000 from the cutoff into his opponent, who was on the button. He received a call.

The river came {j-Diamonds} and Geller checked. His opponent checked behind.

"I have a nine," the player on the button said, tabling {k-Hearts}{9-Spades}.

"Gah!" he then said as he saw Geller show {j-Hearts}{7-Hearts}, having hit a pair of jacks on the river to earn him the pot.

A player raised to 600 from under the gun and was called by the player on his left. Action folded around to the cutoff, who three-bet to 1,800. Zack Whitney cold-called from the small blind and Terry Harper called behind from the big blind. The two early-position players came along as well.

"Five players," said the dealer as the flop came {3-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{5-Clubs}. action checked to the three-bettor in the cutoff, who fired out a continuation-bet of 4,000. Whitney called from the small blind and all three remaining players folded.

With action heads up, the turn came {6-Clubs} and both players checked. Whitney bet 6,000 on the river {j-Spades} and the cutoff thought for a bit before tossing out a call.

Whitney tabled {6-Spades}{6-Diamonds} for a set of sixes and his opponent mucked, resulting in the pot being shipped his way.
