Jeremy Geist

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

There was an early position open to 3,000. Middle position called, the cutoff called, and Robert Saladin called on the button.

The A♦4♣9♦ flop hit the felt and the original raiser checked to middle position who bet 4,000 before the cutoff called and Saladin raised to 17,000. Only middle position called.

The 8♥ laned on the turn and it checked to Saladin who moved in for 15,600. His opponent snap called.

Robert Saladin: A♠4♦
Middle Position: K♦10♦

Saladin just needed to fade the diamonds and lucky for him the river came 7♠ to give Saladin the full double.

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

There was a button open to 2,500 before Sean Lasalle called from the big blind.

The 8♥7♦3♥ flop hit the felt and Lasalle check-called a 2,800 bet from the button on their way to a 3♣ turn.

Lasalle check-called another bet of 6,300 and they were off to an A♣ river. It was checked to the button one last time and he put out a bet of 11,300.

Lasalle went into the tank for a moment and then put in the chips. The button knuckled the table as if to say he was good and showed 10♦9♥. Lasalle tabled 10♠8♠ for one pair but it was more than good enough to scoop.

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Michael Jouaneh opened to 2,000 in early position before he got a call from middle position and Bin Weng on the button.

The 7♠5♥2♣ flop hit the felt and Jouaneh checked to middle position who put out a bet of 4,000. Both players called.

The turn brought a 2♠ and Jouaneh checked again before the middle position player bet again for 12,000. Weng called on the button but then Jouaneh sprung the trap and check-raised to 25,000. The middle position player folded but Weng didn't take long before moving in for about 40,000. Jouaneh snap called.

Bin Weng: 6x2x
Michael Jouaneh: 7♥7♦

The river landed an off suit nine and Jouaneh would scoop a great pot and send Weng to the rebuy line.
