Nick Becker

Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Kenneth Brown raised to 8,000 in early position, Joan Bousman three-bet jammed in the cutoff for 44,500, and Hamid Izadi reshoved for 185,000 on the button. Brown thought for a moment before surrendering his hand.

Joan Bousman: 10♠10♦ All in
Hamid Izadi: K♠K♦

Bousman drilled a ten on the 8♣6♣10♥ flop, improving to top set to pull ahead. The 5♠ turn and 4♠ river offered no help to Izadi, and the pot was pushed Bousman's way.

Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

With about 30,000 in the pot, Lee Sommers was in late position and got it all in for 53,000 effective on a flop of Q♣6♥10♦ against the under-the-gun player, who was at risk.

Under the gun: Q♥J♦ All in
Lee Sommers: K♦Q♠

The turn landed the K♥, giving Sommers two pair, but his opponent picked up an open-ender.

The K♠ river was safe for Sommers, and he improved to a full house to send his opponent to the rail.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

After a raise to 6,000 from the player in the hijack, Roy Kim flatted in the small blind, and the player in the big blind three-bet jammed for close to 20 big blinds. The hijack got out of the way, and Kim called.

Hijack: K♠10♦ All in
Roy Kim: A♥Q♠

The flop came J♦7♠A♠, giving Kim top pair, and the big blind a gutshot.

Kim's hand held as the board ran out 2♣, A♣, and the big blind was sent packing.

Ngamsaard Gets Paid on the River

Nick Becker

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Ake Ngamsaard raised to 4,500 in early position, and both players in the blinds called.

On the 5♥3♥3♣ flop, the small blind led out for 7,000 and only Ngamsaard called.

Both players checked on the 9♦ turn and the Q♠ landed on the river.

The small blind checked and Ngamsaard sized up with a bet of 30,000. The small blind went into the tank and eventually made the call, only to see the bad news when Ngamsaard tabled 5♣5♦ for a boat.
