Derbyshire Given Early Gift

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

After three players limped in, Marty Derbyshire shoved from the big blind getting snap-called by the first player to limp. Derbyshire was miles ahead with the {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} but his opponent did have two live cards holding the {8-Hearts}{10-Clubs}. The board ran out {4-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{k-Spades} and Derbyshire collected the pot.

Goertz Takes Out Two More

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

Jim Goertz is off to a great start. We didn't catch the action but saw the dealer pushing a pile of chips towards Goertz. Goertz filled us in on the action. Three of them paid 1,200 preflop and one of them shoved with a gutshot straight draw. Goertz called a nut flush draw and another called with pocket queens.

Goertz made his flush on the river and scooped the pot.
