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.

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.

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.

Nick Yunis put 15,000 in from the cutoff and Jesse Capps shoved over in the small blind. Yunis called his last 600.

Yunis: {q-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Capps: {a-Spades}{9-Diamonds}

Yunis tried apologizing in advance but his three-outer never had a chance after the {a-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{5-Clubs} flop.

Mike Dentale and Anthony Spinella bought into the tournament after dinner.
