Swift Swiftly Gets Her Chips In

Level 5 : 300/500, 500 ante
Deb Swift
Deb Swift

A player raised to 1,600 from the hijack, and Deb Swift, who recorded four cashes in October's Run It Up Reno VII event, three-bet to 4,600 from the cutoff. Action folded back to the hijack, who tossed in a quick call.

The {7-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{2-Spades} flop saw the hijack check, and Swift took little time in declaring, "All in," for her last 12,000. Her opponent quickly folded and Swift picked up the pot.

VaderNader Ships a Double

Level 4 : 200/400, 400 ante
Timothy Guilford
Timothy Guilford

With around 5,000 in the pot and a flop of {2-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}, the players in the blinds both checked and Tim "VaderNader" Guilford, who last night finished runner-up at the Thursday Thrilla final table, bet 2,000 from middle position.

Three-time RIU Reno trophy winner Jason Daniele called from the hijack, the player on the button did the same, and both blinds got out of the way. The dealer then burned and turned the {2-Clubs}.

Guilford moved all in for 9,200, Daniele quickly folded, and the player on the button through for a bit before making the call.

Guilford: {a-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}
Button: {10-Spades}{7-Spades}

Guilford was way out in front with trip deuces and a flush draw, and he shipped the double after the {10-Clubs} appeared on the river.

"El Bandito" Makes Casey Fold A Flush

Level 4 : 200/400, 400 ante

After a player limped in from the lojack, Pablo "El Bandito" Gutierrez raised to 1,800 from the hijack. Bill Casey, who won the Mini Main Event at Run It Up Reno VII in October, called in the big blind, as did the lojack.

Action checked to Gutierrez on a {k-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{4-Clubs} flop, and he bet 3,300. Only Casey called.

Both players checked the {7-Diamonds} turn, and Casey bet 7,500 when the {q-Clubs} fell on the river. Gutierrez paused for a moment, then announced, "All in," putting Casey at risk for his last 36,500. Casey shook his head, then tossed his {7-Clubs}{5-Clubs} up on the felt and folded. Gutierrez didn't show, and took down the pot.

Survivor's Shirin Shoves Ace-High Flop

Level 4 : 200/400, 400 ante
Shirin Oskooi
Shirin Oskooi

Shirin Oskooi, who appeared on two seasons of the hit CBS show Survivor, raised to 1,000 from middle positon and the player to her left three-bet to 2,600.

Action folded back around to Oskooi and she called to see a {2-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{a-Hearts} flop. She checked and her opponent continued for 2,000.

Oskooi wasted little time in check-raising all in for around 13,000 and that did the trick as her opponent quickly folded.
