Schultz Shove Forces Fold from Sanders

Kirk Brown

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Michael Sanders opened to 1,100 under-the-gun but then Robert Warner moved all in for his last 4,100 and a player made the call behind.

Then Barry Schultz shoved over the top for 17,000 total and the action was back on Sanders who tanked for a bit before deciding to let it go. The player behind him also quickly folded and the two players tabled their cards.

Robert Warner: J♣10♣
Barry Schultz: Q♦Q♥

The runout came 8♥4♥7♦10♥2♦ for Schultz to take down the pot with his queens and Warner headed to the registration desk to try his luck once more. Meanwhile, Sanders was kicking himself as he admitted he folded pocket tens and would have hit the one-outer.

Jammin' Jones on the Job

Kirk Brown

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

On a three-way flop turn of J♣9♠6♥3♠, action checked to Blake Jones on the Button who bet 6,500 and both opponents called to see the 4♠ fall on the river.

The players checked once more to Jones who fired a big bet of 20,000, to which the first player quickly folded. The second opponent moved all-in for less and tabled J♠J♦ for top set of jacks but it was no good as Jones flipped over A♠7♠ for runner-runner nut flush to take down the sizeable pot.

Zhang Takes off with Rockets

Kirk Brown

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

On a three-way flop of J♥K♥5♦, Dongsheng Zhang led-jammed for 22,100 and Eric Miller made the call to put him at risk while the third player tossed in his hand.

Dongsheng Zhang: A♣A♠
Eric Miller: K♦9♣

Zhang was in a good spot with his pocket aces, but still needed to dodge a king or a nine to stay alive. Fortunately for him, the river came the Q♥ and he was pushed the pto for the double-up.

Mann Extracts Value from Hawkins

Kirk Brown

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

On a four-way flop of K♠A♦9♦, action checked to Terry Hawkins in late position who bet 4,000 and was called by David Mann to see the turn 2♣.

Both players then decided to slow down and check to the river 3♣, where Hawkins checked once more.

Mann then took this opportunity to place out a healthy portion of chips totaling 12,000and Hawkins went into the tank.

After he hemmed and hawed for a bit, Hawkins elected to make the call and was shown A♥3♥ by Mann for a rivered two-pair. Hawkins then let out a short grunt as he tossed his cards in and Mann was awarded the pot.
