Hill Wins Without Showdown

Erick Torres

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Drew "BetOnDrew" Gonzalez got the hand started with a raise to 1,300 from the hijack. Andrew Hill followed with a call from the small blind, and the big blind also called to create a three-handed pot.

The 4♥10♦5♠ flop led to a bet of 2,000 from Hill. The big blind got out of the way with a fold, but Gonzalez was not done with the hand and made the call.

Both players checked the 8♦ turn.

Hill resumed his betting ways on the A♦ river for 2,500. Gonzalez did not think long before he pitched his hand into the muck, and Hill dragged in the pot.

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

David Roisen shipped his final 13,200 from early position and was called by Rachael McBrayer out of the small blind as Roisen was at risk.

David Roisen: J♠10♠ All in
Rachael McBrayer: A♠J♥

McBrayer had Roisen's hand crushed, but the flop flipped the script when it came 3♣2♦10♦, giving Roisen the lead with a pair of tens.

McBrayer was searching for an ace, but it never came on the 4♥ turn or the 8♦ river as Roisen secured the double to stay alive in the tournament.

Erick Torres

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

This hand was picked up on a turn of a board that read 3♥8♥2♥A♦ with approximately 6,000 in the middle.

The big blind opted to shove for his final 11,700, which put Chad Tardiff to a decision. Tardiff asked for a count, then took an inventory of his stack as he faced a near double-pot bet on the turn. Tardiff mulled over his decision before he finally stuck in enough chips to make the call, as the big blind was at risk on the turn.

Big Blind: 8♠5♦ All in
Chad Tardiff: A♣J♠

Tardiff made the correct call, as his opponent held a pair of eights, which was well behind his turned pair of aces.

The K♥ river did not alter the standings, as Tardiff would scoop the pot and send his opponent packing.

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Jason Anderson opened to 1,300 from under the gun before he was called by Scott Bennett from the cutoff.

Anderson continued for 1,200 on the 6♠2♥10♠ flop. Bennett followed with a call.

The 8♥ turn led to a second barrel from Anderson. This time, to the tune of 2,500. Bennett went nowhere and made the call.

The 10♣ river was checked by both players. Bennett showed A♠2♠ for deuces and tens and a missed flush draw. Anderson revealed he had the best starting hand in the game when he tabled A♦A♥ for a higher two pair to claim the pot.
