"You're Going to Win This Pot, I Believe"

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante
Mike Sloan
Mike Sloan

Tom Hammers opened to 1,000 from under the gun and was called by Mike Sloan in the hijack, as well as the button and both blinds.

Hammers continued for 1,600 on the {6-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{3-Clubs} flop. Only Sloan and the button called.

The {4-Clubs} brought in four to a straight and a flush draw. Hammers checked it over to Sloan, who fired 3,500. The button mucked, as did Hammers, saying, "You're going to win this pot, I believe. My pair's no good."

Pupillo Chipping Up

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante
Nick Pupillo
Nick Pupillo

A player raised to 1,200 from early position, and Nick Pupillo three-bet to 4,000 from the cutoff. Action folded back to the opener, who called.

Both players checked the {q-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{10-Clubs} flop, and the early-position player bet 4,000 on the {3-Spades} turn. Pupillo called.

The {j-Spades} river was checked through as well, and the early-position player tabled {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}. Pupillo showed his {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts} for a pair of tens and the winner.

Level 4 : 100/300, 300 ante
Blake Whittington

Players folded around to the button, who opened for 800. Blake Whittington called in the small blind, as did the big blind.

Both checked the {j-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{q-Clubs} flop. When the {j-Spades} turn paired the board and added a flush draw, Whittington quickly overbet for 3,300. The button folded just as fast, and Whittington took down the pot.

Charlie Dawson Ships Event #4: $200 7-Game Mix

Level 4 : 100/300, 300 ante
Charlie Dawson

For the past week, the Heartland Poker Tour has been hosting a slew of side events here at the Hollywood Casino St. Louis.

Mixed game aficionados found some love with the inclusion of Event #4: $200 7-Game Mix, which consisted of No-Limit Hold'em, Pot-Limit Omaha, and H.O.R.S.E. in an eight-handed format. 76 players came out to join in the fun, and just nine of them would earn a chunk of the $12,388 prize pool.

When the smoke cleared, it was Charlie Dawson who managed to come out on top, taking home $3,963 in prize money for his victory, the first of three victories for the Owensboro, Kentucky native on the week.

Massive Chip Leader Coliny Forces a Fold From Lowery

Level 4 : 100/300, 300 ante
Justin Coliny
Justin Coliny

Bradley Beetz raised to 800 from middle position, and was called by Will Berry next to act, Justin Coliny in the cutoff, Dan Lowery on the button, and the big blind.

Action checked to Lowery on a {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} flop, and he bet 2,300. Only Coliny called.

Both players checked the {7-Diamonds} turn, and the {2-Clubs} fell on the river. Coliny checked, and Lowery bet 4,500. Coliny check-raised to 15,000, and Lowery showed the {q-Clubs} from his hand before folding. Coliny now commands a mammoth stack of 600 big blinds, which would be good for fourth place overall after yesterday's flight just four levels into Day 1b.

Berry Fills Up on Turn

Level 4 : 100/300, 300 ante
Will Berry
Will Berry

The under-the-gun player opened to 800, and another player in early position called. "I'm not getting in the middle of this," said the player next to act, relinquishing his hand. Action folded around to Will Berry in the big blind, who defended.

The three players flopped triplets in the form of {5-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{5-Spades}. Action checked through.

When the {6-Hearts} turn hit the felt, Berry bet 800, the pre-flop aggressor folded, and the player in middle position called.

The {10-Spades} river went check-check, and Berry showed {k-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} for a turned full house and the win.
