Kriauciunas checked the 2♠ turn, so Lombardozzi took this opportunity to bet 2,100. He made Kriauciuna fold and revealed the A♥.

Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

Michael Sklenicka raised to 300 from early position and Espen Myrmo three-bet 1,200 from the hijack. Alan Gilmore cold-called out of the big blind which brought in Sklenicka as well.

Gilmore checked the 5♣6♠2♦ flop and Sklenicka put out a bet of 1,000. Myrmo called, but Gilmore folded.

Both players checked the J♥ turn and K♦ river down. Sklenicka showed 9♠8♠ for a missed gutshot straight draw. Myrmo flipped up 8♦6♦ for a pair of sixes and took down the pot.

The dealer fanned a flop of K♠8♣J♦ and Gilmore continued for 800. Dwyer called.

Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

Sean McCann limped from the button, and so did Alan Gilmore in the small blind, so Michael Sklenicka in the big blind only had to check his option to discover a flop of A♦4♠4♣.

Both players in the blinds checked, and McCann bet 500. He made Gilmore check-fold, but Sklenicka check-raised to 1,800. McCann quickly folded.

Sklenicka offered McCann to see one of his cards. He chose one and Sklenicka flipped over the A♥.

Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

Before the start of this hand Michael Dwyer got the table to agree to show one card when they win a hand for this level.

Espen Myrmo raised to 300 from the hijack and Alan Gilmore defended out of the big blind.

After Gilmore checked the 7♥6♥5♠ flop, Myrmo put out a continuation-bet of 300. Gilmore called.

The 5♣ turn saw Gilmore check to Myrmo again, and Myrmo fired out a bet of 500. Gilmore check-raised to 1,600, which Myrmo called.

Gilmore bet 2,100 on the 3♦ river and Myrmo folded. Gilmore opted to show both cards as he flipped over 5♥4♠ for trip fives that turned into a straight on the river.
