Reichard All In Vs. Dawson on Paired Flop

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

A three-way, three-bet pot preflop came down {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}.

Brett Reichard bet 8,000 when checked to by an early position player and Charlie Dawson to his right. The early position player folded, and Dawson check-raised to 18,000. Reichard took his time before ultimately shoving and putting Dawson to the test.

Dawson quietly thought it over after asking for a count, eventually calling off for 41,700 total.

Brett Reichard: {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}
Charlie Dawson: {9-Spades}{8-Clubs}

"Nice hand. He gets a hand, and I'm trying to rip it in," said Dawson. The {k-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} board ran out clean for Reichard, and as Dawson counted out his losses, he turned to Reichard and said, "I put you on ace-jack. You've gotta have ace-jack."

Sudar Survives

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

A player raised to 2,200 from the hijack, and James Burns called in the cutoff, as did Jovan Sudar on the button.

Action checked to Sudar on a {7-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{10-Clubs} flop, and he pump-faked putting his last 6,900 chips in the pot, before finally pushing them all in the middle. Both of his opponents folded, and Sudar grinned and said, "I survived!'

With about 34,000 in the pot on a board that ran out {7-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{10-Spades}{7-Spades}, Ralph Massey stuck in his final 13,600. Craig Casino asked, "How much ya got?" and made the call.

Ralph Massey rolled over {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} for a flopped top set that filled up on the river, and Casino mucked.
