Guevara Binks the Nut Flush

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

A player raised to 35,000 from an 80,000 stack in middle position, and Nick Guevara three-bet shoved for 82,000 on the button. The middle position player called.

Opponent: {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}
Nick Guevera: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}

Guevera was dominated for the majority of his stack, and the {7-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} flop brought no immediate help. The {10-Diamonds} turn was one of the best cards in the deck that wasn't a queen, however, as Guevera now held a Royal Flush draw. The {8-Diamonds} river gave Guevera the flush, and he slammed the table in celebration before taking down the pot and essentially doubling up.

Young Gets Some River Love

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Max Young jammed for 55,000 from middle position, and the hijack three-bet shoved for 82,000, chasing out the rest of the field.

Max Young: {a-Clubs}{j-Spades}
Opponent: {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}

Young, fresh off his second Run It Up Reno final table appearance in the $1,100 Thursday Thrilla, found no help on the {10-Hearts}{6-Spades}{3-Diamonds} flop, and the {5-Hearts} turn left him looking for an ace to survive. The {a-Hearts} river sent Young the double and left his opponent short, and he busted a short time later.

A Pair of Hands Featuring Loren Klein

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Loren Klein got involved in back-to-back hands, with the money bubble approaching.

The first saw Klein open to 9,000 from under the gun, and Chance Gir call from the hijack. The flop came {7-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}, and Klein check-folded to an 11,000 bet from Gir.

The following hand saw Travis Cochran raise to 9,000 from the small blind, and Klein call from the big blind. Both players then checked the {7-Spades}{a-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} flop.

Cochran bet 7,000 on the {k-Diamonds} turn, and Klein called. The river came {j-Hearts}, Cochran bet 12,000, and Klein called.

Cochran showed {q-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}, while Klein turned over {j-Clubs}{7-Hearts} for two pair.

Eldar Uses the "Hendon Mob" Gambit

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Alon Eldar
Alon Eldar

Alon Eldar raised to 10,000 from the cutoff, and the button three-bet to 35,000.

"How much money do you have on your Hendon Mob?" Eldar asked the button, to the amusement of the table. He wasn't given an answer, but Eldar four-bet hammed for 135,000 nonetheless.

The button folded and Eldar flashed {k-}{k-} before raking in the pot.

Brittney Barnes

Brittney Barnes jammed for 110,000 from the hijack, and Max Young three-bet shoved for 200,000 in the small blind, chasing out the big blind.

Brittney Barnes: {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}
Max Young: {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}

Young found an ace on the {a-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{6-Hearts} flop, and made two pair on the {k-Diamonds} turn. Barnes needed a nine to survive, but the {7-Clubs} river sent her home two spots shy of a Day 2 bag.
