Sanjay Lavu opened the action with a raise to 6,500 from the button. Richard Lockmanese responded with a call from the big blind to send them to a flop heads-up.
The Q♦9♠A♣ flop led to a bet from Lockmanese for 6,000. Lavu called to come along to a turn.
Lockmanese bet 10,000 on the Q♥ turn. Savu gave it some thought before he chose to pitch his cards into the muck to award the pot to Lockmanese.
Michael McGonigle was down to his last 16,500 when he announced all in from the cutoff. Edward Miller jammed to isolate and the rest of the table folded to have Miller and McGonigle go to a showdown with McGonigle at risk.
Michael McGonigle: J♦10♣
Edward Miller: A♥A♣
McGonigle had work to do if he was going to overcome the pocket aces of Miller, and the flop offered some help as it came 9♦8♦8♠ to give McGonigle a straight draw against Miller.
The J♠ gave McGonigle a couple of more outs, but the 3♥ river was not one of them as McGonigle busted.
Level: 10
Blinds: 1,500/2,500
Ante: 2,500
Both Kevin Wu on the button and Paul Spano in the small blind invested 12,000 preflop to take a flop of 10♥Q♠A♦ after Spano re-raised Wu's button raise.
Spano kept up the pressure with a bet of 16,500. Wu came along with a call to take them to a turn.
The 7♥ turn did not deter Spano, who went all-in for over 70,000 in chips. Wu mulled over his decision as he went into the tank. Wu eventually decided on a fold as Spano dragged a healthy pot his way.
