Leis Turns It

Level 6 : 150/300, 300 ante

Shawn Leis opened the action from early position with a raise to 700. He was called by a player in middle position, as well as the big blind.

The flop came {6-Spades}{k-Hearts}{10-Spades} and Leis bet 1,400 after the big blind checked. The other player came over top for a shove worth about 12,000, and Leis quickly called when the big blind folded.

Leis was in bad shape with {9-Spades}{q-Clubs} and was looking for a jack against the pocket aces of his opponent. He got the jack he needed on the turn, and a second one for good measure on the river, to build his stack almost back to start.

Wasko Defends Small

Level 6 : 150/300, 300 ante
Dale Wasko
Dale Wasko

Action opened in middle position with a limp. Kyle Woloshyn and Larry Iron called from the cutoff and button before Dale Wasko squeezed from the small blind, making it 1,400 to go.

Woloshyn was the only player to get out of the way, and the flop came {7-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{5-Spades}. Wasko led out for 2,600, and was called by both other players in the hand.

Wasko fired again on the {7-Spades} turn, this time making it 7,000, which was enough to clear off the other players.

Kkaikka Takes it on the Turn

Level 5 : 100/200, 200 ante

Pierre Kkaikka limped in from the cutoff before the big blind raised to 400. Trevor Norlander called from the small blind, and Kkaikka added the extra as well.

The flop came {8-Clubs}{2-Spades}{5-Spades} and it checked to the big blind who put in a bet of 1,050. Both Norlander and Kkaikka called to see {3-Spades} on the turn. Norlander checked, and Kkaikka tossed out a bet of 2,500, which was enough to fold out the rest of the players.

Iron Has the Best Jack

Level 5 : 100/200, 200 ante
Larry Iron
Larry Iron

There was already some money in the pot with pre-flop action completed, and the board read {j-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{7-Spades}. The big blind checked and Larry Iron put in a bet of 1,100. He was called by Dale Wasko on the button, as well as the player in the big blind.

They all checked through the {3-Hearts} turn, but when the river paired the board with {j-Clubs} the big blind led out for 2,100. Both Iron and Wasko called, and Wasko's {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades} beat out the {j-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} of the big blind while Wasko mucked his hand.
