Ante: 600
Players have completed the first four levels of Day 1c, and have been sent on a 15-minute break.
Thomas Inman raised from under the gun to 1,500, finding a single call from Amy Krueger in the big blind. Krueger checked the 10♥6♥J♥ flop, and Inman continued for 1,000.
Krueger called, checking again on the K♦ turn. Inman fired again, betting 3,000 and earning another call. Krueger checked one last time on the 7♦ river, and Inman bet 5,000.
Krueger did not take long to let her hand go, and Inman raked in the pot.
Jeffrey Linn raised to 1,500 in middle position, and Brian Cook called in the small blind. Saeed Nia sent his rotating card protector spinning and stuck in a call from the big blind.
Cook and Nia checked the 7♥5♥5♣ flop, and Linn continued for 3,500. That was enough to take down the pot, as Cook and Nia both send their cards into the muck.
Level: 4
Blinds: 300/500
Ante: 500
Four players committed 4,500 prior to the 9♦2♦5♦ flop, and action checked to Clyde Anding in middle position. Anding bet 13,000 before Brady Bucciarelli moved all in for 17,100 in the cutoff.
Anding was the only caller, and the hands were tabled with Bucciarelli at risk.
Brady Bucciarelli: K♦Q♥
Clyde Anding: Q♠Q♦
Anding's pocket queens were unable to dodge a fourth diamond on board, as Bucciarelli completed his flush on the 10♦ turn. The 9♥ river completed the runout, and Anding paid the rest of Bucciarelli's double-up.
Shortly after RGPS Ambassador Greg Raymer joined the table, action was five-way to the 4♠Q♣4♦ flop. Scott Ray and Richard Pearl checked from the blinds, while Scott Weiss fired 1,300 in early position.
Kraig Krueger called in middle position, and Joshua Miller folded on the button. Ray and Pearl also let their hands go, and the 5♣ turn hit the felt.
Weiss bet 2,200, earning another call from Krueger. The A♠ river saw Weiss bet 3,200, and Krueger answered with a raise to 16,000. Weiss took a moment before folding, showing the Q♠ while Krueger collected the pot.
