Blinds: 800-1,600-1,600

A player raised to 5,000 in the hijack and from the small blind, Michael Sanders three-bet to 30,000 which the hijack player called. "Oh god," said Sanders "I don't even want to look." At that point Sanders moved his remaining chips into the pot for a bet of 24,000.

The flop came out {3-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{5-Hearts} and the hijack player shook his head as he said "you dodged it," before tossing his hand into the muck.

Level 15 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Daniel Lowery
Daniel Lowery

Blinds: 500-1,000-1,000

Daniel Lowery called on the button with the small blind checking behind and the big blind checking their option.

The flop came out but the floor was called over because while all the cards were face-down, it became clear to the table that four were put out. The floor picked one of the three cards at random to be the burn card and the hand continued as normal.

The flop came out {4-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} which saw action check over to Lowery who moved all-in for 33,000 which elicited two quick folds, giving Lowery the pot.
