Robert Demadura

The under-the-gun player got the action started with a raise to 1,000 before Robert Demadura re-raised to 2,000 from the next seat over. The original raiser called.

Both players checked the 8A2 flop to bring the 10 turn. The under-the-gun opponent checked before Demadura bet 1,600.

This was enough to end the hand as his opponent folded as Demadura dragged in the pot.

Smith Wins at Showdown

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

The under-the-gun player made it 400 and was called by the button and small blind. Gary Smith also made the call out of the big blind.

The small blind led out for 600 on the 449 flop. The wager was called by Smith before the under-the-gun player raised the price of admission when he popped it to 3,400. The small blind relinquished his hand, but Smith made the call.

Smith checked the 5 turn, and his opponent kept betting, this time to the tune of 5,000. Smith called.

Both players checked the 2 river.

The under-the-gun player showed K9 for two pair, but it was no good as Smith showed he flopped trips and upgraded to a full house on the turn with 54 to win the pot.

Two Pair for Blanton

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

The under-the-gun player raised to 600 and was called by Chase Blanton in the next seat over. Both blinds also called to create a four-handed pot.

The blinds checked on the 7KA flop before the under-the-gun player bet 1,200. Blanton called, and both blinds got out of the way with a fold.

The under-the-gun player checked the Q turn. Blanton bet 2,200 and was called.

Both players knuckled the 10 river. Blanton announced two pair and showed KQ, which was enough to beat the A5 for his opponent to take down the pot.
