Sevens for Ung

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

From under the gun, Senh Ung raised to 1,025. Chris Moneymaker called from the cutoff seat, and Nick Petrangelo called from the big blind, and the flop came out {Q-Clubs}{10-Spades}{10-Hearts}. After Petrangelo checked, Ung bet 1,900. Moneymaker called, and Petrangelo folded.

The turn was the {4-Hearts}, and that was followed by a check from both Ung and Moneymaker. The river then completed the board with the {8-Diamonds}, and both players checked again.

Ung tabled the {7-Clubs}{7-Spades}, and Moneymaker mucked.

Sammartino Tanks into Break

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante

With the break clock already ticking, Dario Sammartino was embroiled in a tough river decision on a board of {a-Spades}{9-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{5-Clubs}. He was in the cutoff facing an all-in wager from big blind Thomas Hueber, and the Italian high roller tanked a few minutes into the break, counted out the necessary chips, and placed him in the middle.

Hueber quickly flipped {j-}{j-} and Sammartino mucked and headed to break.

Gross Gets Talked into a Flush

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante
Jeff Gross
Jeff Gross

Jeff Gross just eliminated his opponent after four diamonds hit the board and gave Gross a flush. Gross was about to fold before his opponent tried to guess what he held.

Gross raised in early position to 1,000 and his opponent shoved all in from the big blind. Gross was then faced with seemingly a tough decision. As he was deciding whether to call the 12,800 all-in bet.

"Do you have king jack?" he asked.

Gross looked at him and tilted his head slightly, "is that good?"

"I was going to fold, you may have just talked yourself into a double up or talked yourself into a bust."

Gross verified the total bet once more before calling. His opponent turned over {a-Spades}{k-Clubs} and Gross turned over {k-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}.

"I guess you talked yourself into a double up," said Gross.

The board had other plans when it ran out {3-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}, giving Gross a diamond flush and the bot.
