Roberts Straightens Out on the River
Level 4
: 150/300, 25 ante
Reginald Roberts opened the action with a raise to 600 from middle position and was called by Shaun McBride out of the small blind and Cornelius Johnson from the big blind.
The flop came 
and McBride checked. Johnson put out a bet of 1,200 and was called by Roberts and Johnson.
The turn was the 
and McBride checked again. Johnson fired another bet, this time for 1,125 and Roberts put in a raise to 4,300. McBride thought for a moment and put out the call and Johnson joined in as well creating a pot of over 18,000.
The river was the 
putting three diamonds on the board and all three players checked. Roberts turned over 
for a hand that improved on every street. He flopped second pair with an open-ended straight draw and added a flush draw on the turn. The river gave him the jack high straight.
That was good enough as McBride and Johnson both mucked. Roberts is off to a good start as he would end the hand with approximately 52,000 in chips.

Blase Flops a Set But Loses Hand
Level 2
: 50/100, 0 ante
Lauren Blase recently replayed a hand for us that has left her with just a few chips.
"I had 
and the flop came 
and there were two players all in before it even got to me. I of course called. One player had 
and the other had 
.
Blase shrugged, a bit frustrated, as she told the rest of her story.
"Eight on the river."
She would be eliminated a few hands later. It is a re-entry event, however, so if she wants to get back in the action she can do so.
