Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

Nikhil Gera

On a flop of {2-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{Q-Spades} with roughly 8,000 in the middle, Nikhil Gera bet out 3,800 and found a caller in the small blind before the player in the big blind, and Simonas Eigminas in middle position, both folded.

The turn landed the {k-Diamonds}, and both players checked as the {4-Clubs} completed the board on the river.

The small blind checked, and Gera bet out 15,000; enough to put his opponent all in.

After roughly three minutes of deliberation, the small blind called all-in for his last 9,500.

Gera tabled his {A-Clubs}{9-Clubs} for the nut flush, and his opponent headed to the rail.

Morrison's Bluff Picked Off

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

Catching the action on the board of {J-Spades}{9-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{A-Spades} with roughly 10,000 in the middle, Kirk Morrison checked out of the big blind, as did a player in middle position.

The player in the cutoff bet out 3,500 and only Morrison called as the river landed the {Q-Clubs}.

Morrison bet out 6,500 and his opponent immediately called.

Morrison sheepishly revealed his {J-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for third pair as his opponent tabled his {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades} for a straight.

Both players checked, and the turn landed the {3-Clubs} with Van Brabander checking again before her opponent bet out 2,000. Van Brabander called, and then checked the {5-Clubs} on the river before her opponent bet 3,000.

Van Brabander called, and after her opponent tabled {Q-Spades}{J-Hearts} for a bluff, Van Brabander tabled her {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} to scoop the pot.
