We arrived at the table and found the action on Josh Smith in the small blind. Ahead of him there was a middle position raise and a call from Rania Nasreddine on the button.

After a few moments Smith slid short stack of ships forward, announcing he was all-in. The initial raiser folded but Nasreddine made the call.

Josh Smith {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}
Rania Nasreddine {7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}

The dealer spread a {k-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{3-Hearts} flop, giving Smith a big lead.

Nasreddine would not get any help as the board ran out {6-Spades}{a-Hearts}, giving Smith the double up.

Connors Turns a King

Level 7 : 300/500, 500 ante
C.J. Connors
C.J. Connors

When we arrived, at the table action was on C. J. Connors from the big blind. Facing a middle position raise Connors three bet to 9,000.

Instantly the middle position announced he was all-in. Action folded back to a mildly astonished Connors who, after a minute of thought, made the call.

C. J. Connors {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Opponent {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}

Connors remained behind as the dealer spread a {9-Clubs}{2-Spades}{2-Diamonds} flop. But his fortunes changed when the {k-Diamonds} hit the turn. His shorter stacked opponent stood up in frustration as the river {5-Clubs} sealed the hand.

Messner Busts One

Level 8 : 300/600, 600 ante

Arriving at the table, the button was in thought with the board reading {k-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{2-Clubs}. Dustin Messner, in the big blind, and his opponent in early position had checked to him.

Eventually tossed out his remaining 6,800 chips. Messner made the call commenting to the button that he was probably ahead. The early position opponent folded.

Dustin Messner {6-Hearts}{5-Hearts}
Button {4-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}

Messner proved correct but the {5-Diamonds} hit the turn and the {3-Spades} the river to give Messner the bust out.
