Schwab Wins on River

Level 2 : 100/100, 100 ante

A player in middle position opened to 400.

Ken Schwab called in late position along with the player on the button, and Daniel Lowery in the big blind.

The flop came out {k-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{2-Hearts} and Lowery led for 700. All three players called.

The turn came the {5-Hearts} and action was checked to Schwab, who bet 1,100. All three players called once again and saw the {a-Hearts} river.

Action was checked to Schwab, who bet 2,200.

The player on the button and the player in middle position folded and action returned to Lowery, who raised to 8,000.

Schwab tossed in the difference, looking at Lowery's tabled {k-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} for a pair of kings.

Schwab flipped over {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts} for a jack-high flush, raking in a nice pot.

Stephen Hart Wins a Big One

Stephen Hart

Chase Turner opened to 6,200 and got one caller before Stephen Hart raised on the button to 20,000.

Turner thought for a while before moving all-in and Hart called. Hart had {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds} against the {k-Spades}{k-Hearts} of Turner.

The board ran out {9-Spades}{4-Hearts}{3-Spades}{3-Clubs}{6-Clubs} and Hart earned a huge double up, giving him the likely chip lead with over 200,000.
