Big blind: {a-Hearts}{8-Hearts}
Chris Livesay: {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts}

The board ran out {q-Clubs}{5-Hearts} and Livesay's kings-up was good enough to scoop his opponent.

Brandon Robinson
Brandon Robinson

A player in early position called with a player in the small blind calling and in the big blind, Brandon Robinson checked his option.

The flop of {4-Spades}{7-Clubs}{8-Spades} saw action check to Robinson who bet 6,500 which got a call from early position and fold from the small blind.

The turn of {5-Clubs} saw Robinson move all-in for 17,500 which the early position player called.

Brandon Robinson: {4-Hearts}{6-Spades}
Early position player: {j-Diamonds}{5-Spades}

The straight on the turn had Robinson's opponent drawing dead before the {7-Hearts} river rolled off and the RGPS $200 PLO champion received a full double.

McKuin Hero Calls River

Level 10 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

Action was picked up in a four-way pot with about 15,000 in the pot preflop.

The {a-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} board was checked all the way through to the river where action checked to Chris Fraley who bet 10,000 and was called by Keith McKuin.

With action on Jason White, he raised to 50,000 which folded out Dale Schumann and Fraley quickly and sent McKuin into the tank. After roughly 90 seconds, Mckuin called.

White turned over {j-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for a missed gutter straight draw, and McKuin turned over {10-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for a pair of sevens which was good for the pot.

Jones Wins A Race The Hard Way

Level 10 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

Jonathan Jones moved all-in from first position for 28,500 and was called by a player in middle position with all other players folding.

Jonathan Jones: {k-Spades}{q-Hearts}
Middle Position: {10-Hearts}{a-Spades}

The flop rolled off {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}{8-Clubs} and Jones stood up from his chair drawing very thin. The turn {9-Spades} gave a little bit of hope and the river {j-Hearts} fufilled that hope as he had run out a straight to best his opponents three tens and double up.
