Clark Triples Up

Level 4 : 100/300, 300 ante
Scotter Clark
Scotter Clark

Bradley Heitmeyer limped in from middle position, and Scotter Clark took his last 900 in chips, placed them in his toy truck, and rolled them into the pot, signifying an all in. Andreas Ioakmides three-bet to 3,500 in the big blind, then said, "On you, kid," to Heitmeyer after a few moments. Heitmeyer called.

Ioakmides checked the {4-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{6-Spades} flop to Heitmeyer, who bet 2,000 into the side pot. Ioakmides called.

The two active players then checked down the {k-Spades} turn and {q-Spades} river, and Ioakmides flipped over {a-Clubs}{7-Spades}. Heitmeyer had that beat with his {4-Spades}{3-Clubs} for the side pot, but Clark rolled over {q-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} to take down the main pot.

Chris Moon
Chris Moon

In a battle of the blinds, Peter Nigh put Chris Moon at risk for his last 10,600 before the flop, and Moon, who had raised after a limp from Nigh in the small blind, obliged with a call.

Chris Moon: {a-Hearts}{j-Clubs}
Peter Nigh: {7-Spades}{7-Clubs}

Moon picked up a Broadway draw on the {q-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} flop, and took the lead after the {a-Clubs} turn gave him top pair. Nigh couldn't find a seven on the {2-Spades} river, and he sent the double over to Moon.

Cooler Flop Benefits Henrichs

Level 3 : 100/300, 0 ante
Joshua Henrichs
Joshua Henrichs

Joshua Henrichs raised to 1,000 from under the gun, and was called by the player next to act. Ryan Kiwala three-bet to 3,600 from the small blind, and both Henrichs and the early position player called.

Kiwala jammed for 15,200 on the {j-Spades}{6-Spades}{5-Spades} flop, and Henrichs shoved over the top for 20,900. The early position player tanked for a minute before making the call to put both players at risk.

Ryan Kiwala: {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades}
Joshua Henrichs: {a-Spades}{7-Spades}
Early Position: {k-Spades}{10-Spades}

Henrichs had found a gin flop for his hand, as his nut flush had both of his opponents in bad shape. The {6-Diamonds} turn cemented the hand for Henrichs, who nearly tripled up, while Kiwala hit the rail.

When Higgins threw out 3,000 on the {j-Clubs} river, the button shrugged and quickly called. Higgins turned over {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}, and the button mucked.
