Davis Forces Fold from Snow

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

On a heads-up completed board of {8-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}, hijack player Ian Davis was first to act and he bet 15,000 into the pot of around 20,000.

The action then shifted over to his opponent on the button, Tara Snow. After quietly debating for a few seconds, she decided to let it go and the sizeable pot was pushed to Davis.

Hamblin Hits the Flop

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

After some back-and-forth, Jason Gwinn and Shannon Hamblin found themselves all in preflop, with Gwinn at risk.

Jason Gwinn: {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts}
Shannon Hamblin: {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}

Gwinn was the favorite going into this classic flip, but the flop of {k-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} quickly turned the tide for Hamblin as he paired his king. The board ran out {4-Clubs}{9-Clubs} to secure his victory and Gwinn was sent to the rail.

"This guy always wins with ace-king, every time!" Someone at the table commented.

"Yeah, as soon as I saw the king I knew what was going through your mind," Hamblin replied with a grin as he stacked his new chips.

Lloyd Scoops Massive Pot and Secures Chip Lead

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

PokerNews was waved over as a massive hand unfolded as three players were all in looking at a flop of {9-Clubs}{j-Spades}{k-Spades}.

Player 1: {q-Spades}{10-Diamonds}
Player 2: {k-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}
Player 3: {a-Spades}{6-Spades}

While player 1 was currently in the lead with the nut straight, he still had a lot to dodge as any king, jack, or spade would cause him to lose.

"I'll take his hand for $100," someone at the table said, gesturing toward the player with the straight, but he would have quickly lost that bet because the turn came the {9-Spades} to give Player 3 the flush. But the hand wasn't over yet as that card also gave Player 1 a straight flush draw and Player 2 (who identified as Matt Doyle) more boat outs.

None of that mattered, however, as the river came the blank {6-Clubs} and Player 3 (who identified as Ricky Lloyd) scooped the massive pot of 100,000 to rocket him into the chip lead. Meanwhile, the other player quickly exited the tournament area before his name could be recorded.

Boat over Boat for RInehart

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Action was picked up on a four-way pot with a board of {7-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{4-Spades}{5-Diamonds} with around 20,000 already in the middle.

After action was checked to him, Demond Adams made it 3,000 to go and was called by Sam Rinehart and two others.

But on the river, Adams decided to check and this time Rinehart bet 6,200, which produced folds from the other two players.

The action was back on Adams, who made the call, but was then shown {7-Clubs}{4-Clubs} from Rinehart for a rivered full house, sevens full of fours. Adams shook his head and flipped over {5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} for an inferior full house, fives full of fours, and the pot was pushed to Rinehart.

Carper Applies Pressure

Level 1 : 100/200, 200 ante

Brad Carper opened to 1,200 preflop and was called by Marcus Lambert and one other player.

The flop came out {9-Spades}{j-Spades}{4-Clubs} and when action was checked to him, Carper continued for 2,000. This was called only by Lambert and the two went heads-up to the turn {2-Clubs}.

Lambert checked once more and Carper fired again, this time for 5,000 and Lambert promptly folded to award him the pot.

Roy Gets Value on River

Level 1 : 100/200, 200 ante

On a three-way turn board of {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}, Ronnie Sharp was first to act from the big blind and he bet 2,500. This was called by Francis Roy under-the-gun while the other player got out of the way.

The river fell the {5-Clubs} and Sharp fired again for 2,500 but then was quickly raised to 6,000 by Roy.

Sharp didn't hesitate to make the call and flipped over {k-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} for trip kings but was then shown {10-Clubs}{6-Clubs} from Roy for a rivered flush.

Sharp's cards were mucked by the dealer and the pot was pushed to Roy to put his stack to around 40,000.
