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

"Put in the report that he said f**k," Daniel Hughes said after he moved all in from the cutoff on a board of 3♥10♣9♥8♥. Cale Shorter was in early position and tanked for several minutes before another tablemate called the clock. Shorter eventually called for his last 35,500.

Hughes turned over 7♦6♠ for a straight, but Shorter had a higher straight with Q♦J♠. The river was the Q♥, and Shorter doubled up. "I should've waited until the river," Hughes added.

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

With around 15,000 in the pot on a flop of 3♥10♦6♠, the small blind bet 4,000 and Daniel Hughes called in the hijack.

The turn was the 9♣ and the small blind bet another 10,000. Hughes called to see the 4♣ river, where the small blind moved all in. Hughes snap-called for 23,700.

His opponent turned over Q♦Q♥, but Hughes had rivered a straight with 5♦2♣. "That was bad. I was going to bluff him and I got there," Hughes sheepishly said as he raked in the double up.

"How does Hellmuth do it?" Rodney Spriggs said as he splashed in his last 11,800 from the button on a flop of 2♠8♦J♦.

"I have this. What do you want me to do if you guys check to me?" Spriggs added as he held up the dealer button. The table folded around to Grant Givens in the big blind, and he called to put Spriggs at risk.

Rodney Spriggs: 10♦6♦ All in
Grant Givens: J♥5♦

Givens was ahead with top pair, while Spriggs had a flush draw. The Q♦ turn gave Spriggs his flush, and he secured the double up after the A♥ river.

"I'm a luck box. What do you want?" Spriggs said.

Cory Plante had just busted Ali Fadel when he picked up queens against Fadel's ace-queen. He then got involved in a pot against Logan Langley.

Langley bet 3,000 from the cutoff on a flop of 9♦3♦10♠ and Plante called in the big blind. Langley then moved all in for 15,000 on the J♥ turn. "I turned a straight," Plante said as he snap-called.

Langley showed 10♥8♥, but he was drawing dead against Plante's K♠Q♣. The river was the 5♥ and Langley was sent to the rail.

"What's happening? We need some players," another tablemate said.

Dustin Messner: Q♣Q♠ All in
Papa Karn: K♦10♦
