No Free Cards from Cai

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

On a heads-up turn of {2-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{3-Spades}, Daniel Kusnerak checked over to Jessica Cai, who paused for a bit before betting 8,000 into the pot of around 7,500.

This move sent Kusnerak into the tank, painfully considering his options.

"You show me if I fold?" he asked her, but no response from Cai.

After another minute or so, Kusnerak reluctantly made the fold. "Come on, show me one now?" he pleaded.

"You have to call to see them, you know that," Cai smiled as she raked in the pot.

Robinson Coolers Karpiel For Big Double

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Greg Robinson
Greg Robinson

On a heads-up board of {j-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{10-Clubs}{8-Clubs}, Greg Robinson bet 5,000 into the pot but was then raised to 10,000 by his opponent Kathy Karpiel.

Robinson then jammed all in for much more and Karpiel snap-called to put him at risk.

Greg Robinson: {q-Hearts}{9-Spades}
Kathy Karpiel: {7-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}

"Dang it, no! I thought I had you!" Karpiel shouted when she realized she didn't have the best hand. The board completed with the {3-Hearts} to give Robinson the victory with his superior straight for a big double-up.

"Ugh, I should have just made the call instead of raising," Karpiel sighed as she was left with 42,000 while Robinson chipped up to 125,000.

Big Squeeze from Carter

Level 5 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

On a three-way turn board of {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{9-Spades}{k-Clubs}, Kyler Carter made it 2,000 to go but was then raised to 5,000 by Adam Travis.

Jeff Connolly called the 5,000 but then Carter jammed all-in for around 35,500, which sent Trvais into the tank.

After a good minute or two, he finally laid it down and the action was then on Conolly, who also elected to fold.

"I'm such a nit, I folded queen-jack there," Travis admitted shaking his head, much to the surprise of the table.

On a heads-up turn, the board showed {q-Spades}{j-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{6-Clubs} when Christopher Long pushed his stack of 17,100 into the pot of around 15,000.

The pressure was then on his opponent, Greg Robinson, who went into the tank. After a good minute, he finally decided he was going to let it go and tossed his cards into the muck.

Long then showed him {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds} for top-top as he started tracking his new chips.
