Spinder Sees the Light

Level 6 : 300/500, 500 ante

Greg Spinder raised to 1,500 from middle position, and find a lone caller in the big blind.

"Check in the dark!" the big blind announced before the {k-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{10-Spades} flop fell. Spinder was undeterred and bet 1,500, which was quickly called by the big blind.

"Check in the dark!" the big blind said again. Spinder announced a bet of 3,500, and the big blind gave it some thought before releasing their hand.

They Call Him "Dreamcrusher"

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante
Gerard Donaghy
Gerard Donaghy

Three players limped into the pot before Mark Hodge raised to 2,500 in the cutoff. Two of the limpers called, then Gerard Donaghy limp-raised all in for 4,700 from the hijack. Hodge four-bet shoved for 9,600, and everyone else folded.

While the dealer was making change after everyone else folded, Donaghy gave Hodge a peek at his hand.

"I'm in big trouble!" Hodge remarked.

Gerard Donaghy: {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}
Mark Hodge: {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}

"Puppy paws!" Hodge said to the dealer, looking for some clubs to steal the victory from Donaghy. None would fall on a {j-Spades}{6-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} board, and Hodge called Donaghy a "dream crusher" with a laugh as Donaghy stacked up the pot.

Poces Picks Up Big Slick For a Double

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante
David Poces
David Poces

A raising war between David Poces on the button and Jose Reyes in the big blind resulted in Poces getting his last 15,000 in the middle, and Reyes made a reluctant call.

David Poces: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}
Jose Reyes: {q-Clubs}{9-Clubs}

Poces held on the {2-Clubs}{2-Spades}{10-Hearts} flop, and the {k-Clubs} turn left Reyes with just a gutshot to bust Poces. The {4-Hearts} river was a brick for Reyes, and Poces doubled up.
