Flush for Jeff Madsen

Level 4 : 75/150, 25 ante

Following a limp in early position, and from the button, the small blind completed and Jeff Madsen checked his option in the big blind.

All four players checked the {4-Spades}{A-Clubs}{2-Hearts} flop as the {7-Spades} landed on the turn.

The small blind led out for 475 and only Madsen called, as the {K-Spades} completed the board on the river.

The small blind checked, Madsen bet 1,100, and the small blind called.

Madsen tabled his {J-Spades}{8-Spades} for a flush, and the small blind mucked.

Dimmig Dispatches of One

Level 4 : 75/150, 25 ante

Catching the action on the turn with the board reading {4-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}, Jonathan Dimmig had his opponent all in, and at-risk.

Dimmig: {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts}
Opponent: {8-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}

With Dimmig's opponent catching up on the turn with trips, Dimmig still outs to a flush draw and a jack, and when the dealer delivered the {J-Diamonds} on the river, Dimmig eliminated his opponent and saw his stack rise to 36,500 in chips.

Ian Simpson Picks Off Kevin MacPhee's Bluff

Level 3 : 75/150, 0 ante
Ian Simpson
Ian Simpson

The action folded round to Kevin MacPhee in the small blind and he limped in before Ian Simpson bumped it up to 450 from the big blind.

MacPhee called, and the flop landed {8-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{J-Diamonds} and he checked to Simpson who bet out 400. MacPhee called, and then checked the {2-Hearts} on the turn as Simpson bet out 900.

MacPhee again called, and when the river landed the {K-Hearts}, he led out with a bet of 3,000. Simpson deliberated for close to three minutes before eventually making the call.

MacPhee tabled his {6-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} for a missed flush and straight draw, but it would be Simpson's {J-Spades}{10-Spades} for a flopped top pair that would ensure he was pushed the pot.

Lincoln Garner's Tens No Good

Level 3 : 75/150, 0 ante
Lincoln Garner
Lincoln Garner

The action began with a raise to 650 before the hijack three-bet to 1,800. Lincoln Garner cold-called in the small blind, as did the initial raiser.

The flop landed {8-Clubs}{7-Spades}{5-Clubs} and Garner checked to the initial raiser who bet 2,050. The hijack folded, but Garner called, before both players checked the {2-Clubs} and {4-Clubs} on the turn and river.

Garner tabled his {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}, but it would be his opponent's {J-Hearts}{J-Spades} that would see him scoop the pot.
