Dawson Building a Stack

Nick Becker

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Action folded around to the player in the small blind, who moved all in for about 7,000, and Charlie Dawson called in the big blind.

Small blind: A♠K♥ All in
Charlie Dawson: 10♠7♠

Dawson pulled ahead on the 7♦J♠4♣ flop, pairing his seven. The 3♥ turn and 8♥ river offered no help to the small blind, and he was sent to the rail.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

After two limps, Devon Sturges raised to 3,300 in the hijack, and Robin Hiser three-bet to 6,000 in the cutoff. One of the limpers called, as did Sturges.

The flop of 3♠2♦5♦ checked through to the 2♣ turn where it checked to Sturges, who bet 13,500. Only Hiser called.

The river landed the 4♦, completing flush and straight draws, and Sturges moved all in for 55,000 effective to put Hiser at risk.

Hiser went into the tank for a couple minutes before eventually flicking in the call with A♥Q♥ for the wheel. She was releived to see that her hand was best when Sturges turned over 10♣9♣.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Action went three-ways to a flop of 4♣8♦9♦ in a hand between George Durham in late position, the player on the button, and Carl Masters in the big blind.

It checked to the button, who fired out a nearly pot-sized bet of 8,000, and only Durham called, bringing the 7♥ turn.

Durham moved all in to put the button at risk, who had a little less than 10,000 behind, and the button quickly called.

Button: J♥J♦ All in
George Durham: 5♥4♥

The 5♠ rolled off on the river, giving Durham two pair, fives and fours to send his opponent packing.
