Kowal Cruises With A Boat on the River

Chris Land

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

On a completed board of 6♠6♥9♣10♦10♣ in a three-way pot, the big blind checked over to the Graydon Kowal who tossed out a bet of 3,000. The cutoff made the call, but with action back on the big blind, he paused briefly before responding with a check-raise to 16,500.

Kowal took a moment before deciding to put in a call which prompted the player in the cutoff to toss their cards toward the muck.

Kowal quickly tabled the 6♣3♣ and found himself to be good as his opponent declared, "I played the board" before mucking his cards face down.

Top Boat Runs Into a Cold Deck

Jeremy Geist

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Action was opened in middle position by Cody Raymond to 2,200 before it folded to Samuel Laskowitz in the small blind who smooth called followed by a fold from the big blind.

The 4♥3♥7♦ flop landed and action was checked to Raymond who continued for 2,200. The action was back on Laskowitz who opted to put in a check-raise to 7,000. Raymond called and the 3♦ rolled off on the turn.

Laskowitz sat in the tank for almost a minute before he bet again for 8,300. Raymond called again and the 2♦ hit on the river.

Laskowitz pondered his options for a few more moments before announcing he was all in. Raymond snap-called and immediately tabled 7♠7♥ for top boat but the pain was real when Laskowitz tabled 3♣3♠ for turned quads and an absolute cooler.

Laskowitz dragged the pot and got a much-needed influx of chips.
