Asghar Calls Down
Level 6
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Action was opened in early position to 2,000. A player in middle position called and action was on Jamiel Asghar in the cutoff. He only took a moment before three-betting to 6,000. The original raiser folded but the player in middle position flicked in a call.
The 8♥Q♦10♣ flop landed and the player in middle position check-called a 4,000 continuation bet from Asghar.
The A♣ landed on the turn and action checked through to a 10♦ river.
The player in early position then led out for 17,000. Asghar thought it over for almost a minute before putting in the chips and hearing the magic words from his opponent, "Good call".
Asghar tabled A♦8♦ for a turned two pair and his opponent showed 5♣3♣ before mucking.

Level 5
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Action folded to George Won in middle position who opened to 1,500. The cutoff called and the big blind also came along.
The A♣A♦5♥ flop landed and action surprisingly checked through to a 9♣ turn.
The big blind checked and Won put out a bet of 1,000. The cutoff then raised to 2,700. The big blind got out of the way and Won put in the rest of the chips for a call.
The river landed a 7♣ and action checked to the cutoff who continued for 3,200. Won went into the tank for about a minute and then flicked in a chip for the call.
The cutoff immediately mucked and Won scooped the pot without even going to showdown.

Lost and Found: Poker Player Tries for 43 Days to Locate Missing Cat - What Happened?
Level 4
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Zach Gruneberg, a poker player from Pennsylvania with more than $2.2 million in lifetime tournament earnings, recently lost one of his cats, who escaped from his home while he was out in Las Vegas. What ensued was a frantic search-and-rescue effort that spanned a month and a half.
More specifically, it was a 43-day affair “through hell and back” according to Gruneberg, a five-time World Series of Poker (WSOP) Circuit ring winner, including back-to-back wins in the WSOP PA Online Series at the end of July.
Gruneberg, who is nine years clean and sober, is on Twitter as @HustlerGrune where it states he is both an anime addict and cat dad. One of those cats is a sleek gray feline named “Nook.”
“Nook is the only cat I've had since he was a kitten,” Gruneberg told PokerNews. “He is a super friendly high energy guy that loves to jump up into high places and play more so than any of my other cats.”
So, what’s the story behind Nook’s disappearance?

Digiovanna Shows the Goods
Level 4
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Action was opened by Larry Digiovanna in early position who bet 1,100. He only got a call from the big blind and they were off to a flop heads up.
The 2♥2♠3♣ flop landed and the big blind opted to lead for 2,500. Digiovanna called.
The turn brought a 8♠ and action slowed down and checked through to an A♥ river.
The big blind opted to check again and Digiovanna took his time before putting out a bet of 3,500. Unfortunately he couldn't get any more action as the big blind folded.
Digiovanna flashed the 3♥3♦ for a flopped full house and smiled as he dragged the pot.

Milby Snap Calls
Level 4
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Action was folded to a player in late position who opened to 1,500. The button called and action was on Ron Milby in the small blind. He only took a moment before putting out a three-bet to 6,500. The player in late position called and the button folded.
The 2♥8♦3♦ flop hit the felt and Milby continued for 5,000. His opponent sat in the tank for about a minute before announcing "all in". Milby's chips seemed to have already moved in before the words were even out of his opponents mouth.
The cards hit their backs.
Ron Milby: A♣A♦
Late Position: J♥J♦
The turn brought a 6♦ and the river an 8♥. Milby scooped a big one early on in Day 1e.
