Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

Mike Vanier checked from the small blind and saw the cutoff bet 1,200 on a {5-Spades}{2-Clubs}{7-Spades}{a-Diamonds} board. Vanier raised to 3,500, and his opponent called. Vanier fired 7,200 on the {3-Clubs}, and his opponent flicked in a calling chip right away. Vanier showed {7-Clubs}{5-Clubs} for top two on the flop and took it down. His opponent mucked {a-}{q-} face-up.

Bybee Folds Winner in Big Pot

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante
Ross Bybee
Ross Bybee

We found Ross Bybee with 2,400 in front of him in early position on a flop of {3-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}. Elizabeth Hunter had moved all in for 17,800, and the big blind was all in also for 17,550.

"I'm just trying to figure out what you have," Bybee said after Hunter declared she was going to win. "Set or a straight? I know he has an overpair."

Finally, Bybee folded. Hunter showed {6-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} and the big blind had {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}, causing Bybee to lament letting {3-}{3-} go.

The board ran out {4-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} and Hunter scooped the pot.

"Nice bluff," Bybee said to Hunter.

Wolff Hits a Gutter

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

With the board reading {a-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{7-Spades}, the small blind bet 2,500 and Thaddeus Wolff raised to 5,800 under the gun. Elizabeth Hunter called in the cutoff, and the small blind shoved for about 20,000. Wolff shoved as well, and Hunter quickly mucked.

Wolff: {5-Hearts}{4-Hearts}
Small blind: {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}

"Are you kidding me?" the small blind. "A gutshot straight."

Indeed, the small blind needed to pair the board to survive but the river was a {5-Diamonds}.

At another table Trevis Devericks busted out.
