Level 12
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Steven Hlavinka raised to 15,000 on the button and Christopher Caruso and Casey Hatmaker called in the blinds.
Hlavinka continued for 20,000 on the 2♦A♣J♦ flop, and only Hatmaker called. Hlavinka then bet 30,000 on the 4♥ turn, and Hatmaker again called.
The river was the K♣ and Hatmaker led out for 50,000. Hlavinka called, and Hatmaker showed A♥J♠ for two pair to win the pot.
The news wasn't as good for his better half Alexandra Loveless, as she and Alan Gendelman saw a board of K♥8♥K♣5♠ at the other table. Gendelman then bet 22,000 from under the gun, and Loveless moved all in for 50,000 in the cutoff. Gendelman called with K♦J♥ for trips, and Loveless was already drawing dead with A♦8♦. The river was the 4♥, and she was sent to the rail.
