Level 8 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Catching the action on the river with the board reading {2-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds} and roughly 100,000 in the middle, Brian Green bet out 37,000 from the small blind.

From the cutoff, Nick Schulman raised to 125,000, and after using a time extension chip, Green folded.

He Knows the Cards

Level 8 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Two players checked to Daniel Negreanu on {4-Spades}{2-Hearts}{q-Spades} and he bet 10,000 in the cutoff. Big blind Laz Hernandez made it 30,000 and Negreanu called, bringing the {2-Clubs}. Hernandez moved all in and Negreanu quickly folded.

Hernandez showed the {2-Spades}.

"Deuce and a flush draw, huh?" Negreanu said.

"He knows all the cards," Hernandez said, nodding and smiling.

Hernandez Doubles Through Marchese

Level 9 : 2,000/4,000, 5,000 ante

Laz Hernandez raised to 13,000 under the gun and Tom Marchese made it 33,000 in the cutoff. Hernandez shoved and Marchese quickly called for just under 100,000.

Marchese: {9-Clubs}{9-Spades}
Hernandez: {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}

The board ran out {a-Spades}{7-Spades}{8-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{2-Clubs}, so Hernandez paired up then dodged six outs to the river to double.

Level 9 : 2,000/4,000, 5,000 ante
Jason Koon
Jason Koon

Jared Jaffee opened for 10,000 second to act and Brian Rast called in the small blind. Jason Koon moved in from the big for 38,000 and both players called.

The board read {10-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{3-Spades}{10-Clubs} on the turn and Rast check-called 38,000. Both active players checked the {a-Spades} river.

"I'm gonna win," Koon declared, showing {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} for jacks full.

Rast had made a straight with {k-Clubs}{q-Spades} so he took the side pot.

Bonomo Sends Greenberg to Reenter

Level 9 : 2,000/4,000, 5,000 ante

On a board of {6-Spades}{4-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{a-Clubs}, Larry Greenberg stuck in his 85,000 or so and got snapped off by Justin Bonomo, who had {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds} for top set. Greenberg was drawing live with {9-Hearts}{8-Clubs} but the {8-Diamonds} river didn't do it for him. He went to reenter right away.
