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.

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.

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.

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.

The G.O.A.T.

Level 7 : 400/800, 100 ante

Joey McCaig was all in for 22,900 when we got to his table, and a player on the button was thinking. He folded, leaving McCaig heads up with Schuyler Thornton, who had 6,800 in front of him in the small blind.

Thornton: {a-Spades}{5-Spades}
McCaig: {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}

Thornton flopped his three outer as {5-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} hit the felt. The {7-Clubs} gave him a sweat on the turn, but the {k-Spades} was a safe river.

"Schuyler, you're the G.O.A.T.," Ray Henson said from the rail.

"You see how good I play?" Thornton laughed.

Zerbas Turns It

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

A player in the big blind bet an unknown amount on a {9-Clubs}{6-Spades}{5-Clubs} flop, and Shea Zerbas raised to 4,000 from the cutoff. The big blind called, and both checked the {7-Clubs}. On the {10-Diamonds} river, the big blind checked and snap-called 4,900 from Zerbas, but he ended up mucking {10-}{9-} when Zerbas showed {9-Diamonds}{8-Spades} for a straight.
