Lahti, Olsen Chop a Five-Way Pot

Level 3 : 200/300, 300 ante

Paul Sampson limped in early position, and got four callers.

The big blind led out for 1,200 on the {7-Clubs}{6-Spades}{5-Diamonds} flop, and all four opposing players called. Action checked through on the {q-Hearts} turn.

The river fell {9-Hearts}, and the action checked to Kenneth Olsen on the cutoff. Olsen bet 2,000, William Lahti called from the small blind, and all other players folded.

Olsen showed {k-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}, Lahti showed {5-Clubs}{8-Spades}, and the two players chopped the pot with each having the nine-high straight.

On a {10-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{9-Hearts} board, the small blind bet 6,000 into a similarly sized pot, and $235 Progressive Bounty champ John-Paul Portal called from the cutoff.

The small blind checked the {2-Clubs} river, and the small blind checked. Portal bet 10,000 and the small blind quickly called. Portal tabled {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds} for a set of nines, and the small blind said, "Nice turn," before turning over a defeated {a-Spades}{10-Spades}.

Van Patten's Full Boat Bests Barnes Straight

Level 2 : 100/200, 200 ante

Three players went to a {10-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{6-Clubs} flop, and Donald Van Patten bet 2,500. Benjamin Mohr called on the hijack, and Brittney Barnes called from the cutoff.

All three players checked the {10-Clubs} turn. The {8-Diamonds} fell on the river, Van Patten bet 6,000, and both opponents called.

"I have a straight," said Barnes, but in this case it was no good. Van Patten turned over {6-Spades}{6-Hearts} for a turned full house, while Mohr mucked {a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}.

Fink Binks a Bustout

Level 2 : 100/200, 200 ante

There was 8,000 in the pot and a {6-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{7-Clubs} board on the felt, when Domonic Finks in the big blind got into a raising war with a player in the cutoff, resulting in the cutoff committing his last 26,000 in chips and Finks calling.

Opponent: {10-Spades}{7-Spades}
Domonic Finks: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}

Finks didn't get one-outered on the {10-Hearts} river, and he won the huge early pot with his aces-full.
