"Seat Open at Table 3" .... NOT!

Level 7 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Jeremy Becker raised to 10,000 on the button and John Riordan three-bet jammed for 53,500 in the small blind. Becker called and screamed "seat open at Table 3!"

John Riordan: A♥7♦ All in
Jeremy Becker: A♠Q♥

Becker was ahead but may have upset the karma gods as the flop landed 3♣7♠5♥ to pair Riordan's seven before the board finished out 9♣6♥ to earn him a double.

Becker was still grumbling after the hand.

"He's shoving ace-seven. He wants to go to Javier's. He should be eating a f***ing quesadilla right now."

Level 6 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Jeremy Becker completed in the small blind and John Riordan raised to 12,000 in the big blind. Becker called.

Both players checked on the 9♦Q♥10♦ flop and again on the 7♦ turn. Becker then bet a hefty 20,500 on the 2♥ river and Riordan called.

Becker, who has a side bet going with Riordan, then slammed K♠10♥ down on the table as he took the pot with a pair of tens.

Level 5 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Neil Warren opened to 6,000 in the hijack and was called by Joe McKeehen on the button and the big blind.

All three players checked on the 7♥5♠7♣ flop and again on the 3♠ turn. The big blind and Warren both checked again on the J♠ river and McKeehen bet 15,000. Only the big blind called.

McKeehen showed a bluff with 10♦9♦ as the big blind roller over A♥Q♥ to win the pot with ace-high, while Warren kicked himself for folding the best hand.
