Nelson Gets a Bluff Through

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante

Peter Nigh checked a {6-Spades}{k-Clubs}{2-Spades} flop from the small blind, and Ian Nelson bet 5,500 into a pot of 9,000 from the big blind. Nigh called.

Nigh check-called a second bullet of 8,000 on the {10-Diamonds} turn, and the {8-Hearts} hit the river. Nigh checked a third time, and Nelson bet 13,000. Nigh tanked for a few minutes, then a player at the table called the clock. A few seconds into the countdown, Nigh folded, and Nelson quickly tabled {9-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} for a total bluff. Nigh tapped the table in approval of the bluff, and Nelson raked in the pot.

Mike Thompson
Mike Thompson

On a {2-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} flop, Mike Thompson had an opponent on the button at risk for his last 12,100.

Opponent: {2-Spades}{2-Hearts}
Mike Thompson: {a-Clubs}{7-Clubs}

Thompson found his flush immediately on the {4-Clubs} turn, and just needed to avoid the board pairing on the river to earn the knockout. He found another club on the {10-Clubs} river, and Thompson eliminated his opponent.

Pupillo Returns With a Vengance

Level 6 : 200/500, 500 ante

James Pupillo was seen quickly shoving his last 21,600 in chips in the pot on a {3-Spades}{q-Clubs}{10-Spades}{7-Spades} board after big blind Mike O'Neill had jammed, and after the hands were tabled, it was easy to see why:

James Pupillo: {k-Spades}{5-Spades}
Mike O'Neill: {q-Spades}{4-Spades}

Both players held flushes, but it would be Pupillo's king-high flush that earned the double after the {9-Hearts} fell on the river.
