Hart Gets There Both Ways

Tyler Boyer

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Grant Hart raised all in for 35,000 from the hijack, and was called by a player in the cutoff. The button and the blinds folded, to leave the players heads up, with Hart at risk.

Grant Hart: Q♣J♣ All in
Cutoff: A♥Q♦

Hart was dominated before the flop came out and said "How about a jack, or clubs" and the 10♣10♦2♣ flop gave him a flush draw. The 3♣ on the turn gave Hart the check mark with his flush, and the J♠ on the river hit for good measure has Hart secured the double up.

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Action was picked up on the flop with roughly 25,000 in the pot, and the board showing 4♦J♥2♠.

A player in the small blind checked to Matt Rogers who bet out 15,000. The player in the small blind then raised to 50,000, which Rogers called.

The turn brought the Q♥ and the small blind announced all in for Rogers stack of 71,000. Rogers sat deep in the tank for several minutes debating his decision. Eventually another player at the table called the clock on Rogers, which he quickly called after.

Matt Rogers: A♥A♦ All in
Small Blind: 8♠8♥

Rogers was shocked to his opponents hand, who made a valiant effort in attempting to get Rogers off his hand. The river was the 6♦ and the pocket aces of Rogers were still best, to give him the double up and massive pot.

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

A player from early position raised to 8,000, and Brian Lanning defended his big blind.

Both players checked after the K♦5♣3♣ flop which brought the 7♠ turn. After the turn Lanning bet out 15,000 which was called by the player in early position.

The river was the 10♠ and Lanning bet out 15,000 again, but this time his opponent raised to 50,000. After sitting in the tank for nearly two minutes, Lanning went all in for a total of 60,000, which got a snap fold from the early position player who said "I thought you would fold a king" as Lanning took in the pot.
