Lermi Holds His Ground

Level 7 : 400/800, 100 ante

A player in early position bet 2,500 on a {j-Spades}{2-Spades}{9-Spades} flop, and the cutoff made it 22,000 to go. Birol Lermi thought a bit and put in his stack of 14,250 from the big blind. The bettor folded.

Lermi: {j-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}
Cutoff: {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}

Lermi rolled with his two pair despite the scary board and it proved fruitful as an {a-Clubs} turn and {3-Spades} river kept his two pair best.

Martin Short on Chips

Level 6 : 300/600, 75 ante

RunGood Pro Dan Martin raised to 1,400 in the cutoff and called the shove of the player on his left, who had about 11,000.

Martin: {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds}
Opponent: {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}

The board ran out {7-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}, no improvement to either hand, so queen kicker player for Martin's opponent.

More for Robbins

Level 6 : 300/600, 75 ante

About 3,000 was in the middle already when Rick Robbins called the shove of a player in the small blind who had 7,550.

Robbins: {a-Spades}{j-Spades}
Small blind: {k-Spades}{3-Clubs}

Robbins easily won as the board ran out {a-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{10-Hearts}. He's undoubtedly hungry for his first RunGood victory after coming agonizingly close earlier this season, only to fall heads up to Troy Repp in Tulsa.

Robbins Survives, Bunch Busted

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

We found Rick Robbins pushing all in for 5,950 on a {9-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} flop and being called by one player. Lauren Bunch was already all in preflop, and another player folded on the flop, as she related it.

Robbins: {9-Clubs}{8-Clubs}
Bunch: {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts}
Third player: {k-Spades}{q-Clubs}

Robbins stood up as if to leave but the turn brought a {9-Hearts}, giving him a hammerlock on the hand as he was fading only two river cards. The {4-Hearts} wasn't one of them, and he survived, while Bunch headed for the reentry desk.

From 4,550 to 24,000

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante
Ben Thomas
Ben Thomas

Ben Thomas got his last 4,550 in preflop and was called in four spots. A {4-Clubs}{10-Spades}{2-Clubs} flop his the felt, and a player in early position bet 10,000 after one check. Everyone else mucked.

Thomas: {a-Spades}{10-Hearts}
Opponent: {a-Clubs}{3-Clubs}

Thomas was leading but fading quite a few outs. The turn and river were both red bricks, and Thomas found new life.
