Gras Blasts the River

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

With a little over 9,000 in the pot and a board reading {2-Hearts}{9-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}, Chris Gras bet 3,800 and his heads-up opponent check-called very quickly.

The {j-Hearts} hit the river and Gras was met with another check. This time, Gras threw down a bet of 25,000, more than enough to cover his opponent's stack, and his opponent folded.

Olshan Doubles with a House

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante

Aaron Olshan checked from the small blind when a three-way {10-Clubs}{6-Spades}{j-Spades} flop fanned out. The player in the big blind bet 3,000 only to see the player in middle position raise to 8,000. Olshan three-bet shoved for 21,000 getting rid of the player in the big blind but the player in mid position called.

Aaron Olshan: {10-Hearts}{6-Hearts}
Opponent: {k-Spades}{j-Clubs}

Olshan flopped best and improved to a full house on the river to secure the double up with a {9-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} run out.

Straight on Board

Level 7 : 300/600, 75 ante

A player in middle position opened to 2,000 and Jordan Lagano called one seat over. A player in late position flatted as well before the player in the cutoff three-net jammed for 6,100. That cleared the table around to Lagano who made the call.

Jordan Lagano: {4-Spades}{4-Diamonds}
Opponent: {5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}

Lagano was in rough shape but an {8-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{9-Clubs} run out put a straight on board and the two chopped the pot.
