Eveslage Stacks Another Before Dinner

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

On the button, Chad Eveslage three-bet to 8,400 after a raise to 2,200 under the gun and a call, and the flatter came along for an {a-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} flop. Eveslage bet 12,500 after his opponent checked, and the player called. The turn was a {7-Diamonds} and the first player checked. Eveslage moved all in for 57,200 effective. His opponent tanked for about three minutes and called it off.

Eveslage: {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
Opponent: {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}.

Eveslage's kicker had him way in front and a {7-Spades} river was a brick.

Players are on dinner break for one hour.

Futterman Not Unlucky

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Nika Futterman was in the small blind and bet 15,000 on a board of {8-Spades}{k-Spades}{2-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}. Her opponent jammed for about 20,000 in the cutoff.

"If I'm unlucky, I'm unlucky," she said, sliding in chips to call.

Futterman: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}
Cutoff: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}

Far from it as she had her opponent nearly dead and the {9-Clubs} river was a safe one.

Karim Sends One Packing

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

Zo Karim was in the small blind and check-called 2,500 from an opponent in the cutoff on a {4-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{6-Hearts} flop. The turn was a {2-Hearts} and Karim checked again. His opponent moved in for 12,000 or so and Karim snapped with {3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} for a straight. His opponent was dead to a chop with jacks and hit a meaningless set on the river.

At another table, Peter Tarsiewicz got it in with {a-}{10-} against eights and was turned dead after his opponent flopped a set.

"I'm So Excited"

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

Alex Keating got his 9,325 all in preflop with {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} against a player with {j-Diamonds}{j-Spades}. The dealer spread a flop of {8-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}.

"You have outs," the player with jacks observed.

"I'm so excited," Keating said dryly.

The {4-Hearts} turn was a brick but the {9-Diamonds} river was exactly what he needed to make a straight and survive.
