Gerleman Wields His Stack

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Duane Gerleman
Duane Gerleman

Duane Gerleman bet 8,500 from early position with a {j-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} flop on the felt, and a player in the hijack called. The other remaining opponent on the button studied the board for a moment, then folded.

Gerleman set a stack of 5k chips out once the {10-Clubs} fell on the turn, setting his opponent in for his last 26,000. The hijack didn't oblige and folded.

"I had an overpair to the board," Gerleman told his foe after the hand.

Dicks Takes a Stand

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Wayne Dicks
Wayne Dicks

Chris Berry raised to 3,300 from the hijack, and was called by Wayne Dicks in the cutoff, as well as the player in the big blind.

Action checked to Dicks on a {q-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} flop, and he bet 4,000. The big blind check-raised all in for 16,100, and after Berry folded, Dicks tanked for over a minute before making the call.

Opponent: {a-Clubs}{6-Clubs}
Wayne Dicks: {q-Spades}{10-Clubs}

Dicks was able to fade the draw on the {3-Hearts} turn and {k-Hearts} river, and he gave a fist pump as he claimed the last of his opponent's chips.

Bryan's Straight is Bigger

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Six players limped in and saw a {7-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} flop together, and action checked to Jeff Bryan in middle position. Bryan bet 2,500, and only the button and a player in early position called.

All three players checked the {k-Spades} turn, and the {9-Spades} fell on the river. The early-position player checked, and Bryan bet 3,000. Only the early-position player called, and Bryan tabled {q-Clubs}{10-Hearts} for a king-high straight. Bryan's opponent showed an inferior straight with {8-Clubs}{6-Clubs}, and Bryan raked in the pot.

Pigago Gets a Dub

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Danny Pigago
Danny Pigago

Danny Pigago bet 1,500 on a {4-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} flop from middle position, and his opponent in the cutoff made the call.

Pigago fired 2,500 on the {a-Diamonds} turn, and the cutoff made another quick call.

The {7-Spades} completed the board on the river, and Pigago jammed for 6,700. The cutoff flicked in a single chip to call, but mucked after Pigago showed {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs} for aces-up, good for the Pigago double.

Casual Quads For Rinkol

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Five players invested 2,400 a piece to see a {6-Spades}{6-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} flop hit the felt, and action checked to the button, who jammed for 17,800. Dan Rinkol three-bet shoved for just a tad bit more in the big blind, and everyone else folded.

Opponent: {8-Spades}{8-Clubs}
Dan Rinkol: {6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}

Rinkol's opponent was already up from the table and heading towards the exit before the dealer could put another card on the felt, and sure enough, no miracle was coming on the {a-Hearts} turn or {j-Diamonds} river, securing the knockout for Rinkol with quad sixes.

Level 7 : 400/800, 800 ante
Paul Strohm
Paul Strohm

Paul Strohm raised to 2,100 on the button, and Ryan Remmes made the call in the big blind.

Both players checked the {a-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{2-Spades} flop, and Remmes checked again on the {a-Clubs} turn. Strohm bet 2,000, and Remmes instantly check-raised all-in. Strohm folded just as quickly, and Remmes took down the pot.
