Trivett Check-Jams

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

Michael Trivett raised to 1,600 from under the gun, and was quickly three-bet to 4,000 by the player next to act. Action folded back to Trivett, who called.

Trivett checked the {7-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{3-Hearts} flop over to his opponent, who bet 5,500. Trivett check-raised all in for his last 19,000, and his opponent spent a minute in the tank before folding.

Moyawad Sends an Opponent Packing

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

A middle position player open raised to 1,000, and a player in the cutoff reraised all in for 12,500.

Jerry Moyawad contemplated for a bit before going all in over the top, from the small blind. The original raiser folded.

Cutoff: {k-Spades}{j-Spades}
Jerry Moyawad: {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}

Board: {9-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{3-Spades}

The cutoff took the lead on the flop, but the turn {10-Spades} brought in the straight for Moyawad, which held through the river.

Apostol Jumps Back In and Doubles

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

Three players invested 2,300 to see a {q-Spades}{10-Spades}{q-Clubs} flop together, and action checked to Tyson Apostol on the button, who jammed for 9,400. The under the gun player folded, and John Gribben, who was in the hijack, said, "I did this to myself," before committing calling chips.

Tyson Apostol: {10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}
John Gribben: {6-Spades}{5-Spades}

The {6-Clubs} turn added a few more outs to Gribben's flush draw, but the {3-Hearts} river was safe for Apostol, who said, "Thank you for calling and not hitting so I can stay with you guys a little longer!" before raking in the double.

Saleh Ousts Apostol

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

Syed Saleh opened to 1,500 from early position, and Tyson Apostol went all in over the top from the small blind. Michael Trivett cold called in the big blind, and Saleh and Trivett went heads up to a side pot.

The flop came {10-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{j-Clubs}, Trivett checked, and Saleh went all in for the last of his stack. Trivett folded, leaving Saleh and Apostol to battle for the main pot.

Tyson Apostol: {k-Spades}{9-Spades}
Syed Saleh: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}

Apostol asked for an eight to hit the board, but the straight didn't come in, as the turn {5-Hearts} and river {a-Hearts} improved Saleh to a flush.

The hand sent Apostol to the rail, but he told his fellow players he'd be back for a second bullet.

Carlos Pal: {k-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}

King-High Good Enough For Harasim

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante

Sebastian Harasim bet 4,300 from the hijack into a pot of 9,000 on a {6-Spades}{2-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{9-Clubs} board, and his lone opponent on the button made the call.

Both players checked the {j-Spades} river, and neither player showed at first, before Harasim eventually turned over {k-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} for a busted gutshot. The button mucked.

Smith bet 2,000 on the {4-Spades}{8-Spades}{2-Diamonds} flop, and the cutoff called.

The {k-Clubs} hit the turn, and Smith bet 4,500. The cutoff counted up his remaining 13,000 and tanked for a minute, then folded.

Hand Hits Huge

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante

On a {j-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{q-Hearts} flop, a player in the small blind led out for 3,600. Timothy Guilford called from the big blind.

Gail Hand reraised all in for her last 12,100, the small blind called, and Guilford folded.

Gail Hand: {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades}
Small Blind: {k-Spades}{j-Hearts}

Hand was well ahead with top set, leaving the small blind drawing thin to a gutshot straight. The {9-Hearts} on the turn sealed the win for hand, and the {3-Spades} on the river was merely a formality, as Hand took in the big pot.
