The Wells Aint Dry
Level 4
: 150/300, 25 ante
Jeff Wells is off to a great start after busting two players in a hand. The dealer was quick to point out Wells' stack as we passed by and Wells informed us on what had transpired.
Wells had flopped a set of sevens and was able to get paid off by not one, but two opponents, besting a pair of sevens and a pocket pair of nines.

for just a pair of tens and Elia turned over the

Babula Boosted by a Bust
Level 5
: 200/400, 50 ante
After an open to 1,200, Chris Babula and another player in the hand flatted. A fourth player in the hand moved all in for 6,250 getting rid of the original raiser but Babula and the third player made the call.
The flop came down 
and Babula bet 10,000, enough to cover his opponent. His opponent called and all three players tabled their cards.

Robert S Shows the Bluff
Level 7
: 300/600, 75 ante
A sizeable pot was brewing on the turn of a 
between Robert S and another player. With the action checked over, Robert fired a bet worth 12,000 into a pot of about 25,000 forcing his opponent into the tank.
The two exchanged pleasantries that eventually led to Robert telling his opponent he would show if he folded. His opponent mucked and Robert tabled the 
for just ace high leaving a sour look on his opponent's face.
