Straight for Vogelsang

Level 7 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

On a flop of {6-Spades}{K-Diamonds}{A-Spades} with roughly 20,000 in the middle, Lauren Roberts checked from the cutoff and Christoph Vogelsang bet out 11,000 from the button.

Roberts check-raised to 25,000 and Vogelsang called as the {Q-Hearts} landed on the turn.

Roberts checked and Vogelsang bet out 30,000 which Roberts called as the {K-Clubs} landed on the river and she led out for 60,000.

Vogelsang thought for a few moments and then called and tabled his {J-Spades}{10-Clubs} for the nut straight.

Roberts mucked and slipped to 251,000 while Vogelsang sits on roughly 540,000 in chips.

Smith Calls Kenney Light

Level 7 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Bryn Kenney opened for 7,000, and Dan Smith made it 21,000 on his left in the cutoff. Kenney called, seeing {4-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{8-Clubs} flop. Kenney checked and Smith bet 16,000. Kenney put in a check-raise to 44,000. Smith called, and both checked the {10-Hearts}. Kenney fired 86,000 on the {5-Spades} river.

"Why not all in?" Smith asked. He timed down and used his last time extension before putting in a call for most of his stack just before his hand was dead.

Kenney simply mucked his hand, and Smith showed {a-Spades}{j-Hearts} before dragging the pot.

Berkey Wins Battle Against Robl

Level 7 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

On a board reading {5-Spades}{10-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} with roughly 60,000 in the pot already, Andrew Robl bet out 48,000 from the small blind and Matt Berkey called from under the gun.

The river landed the {J-Spades} and following a check from Robl, Berkey bet out 70,000.

Robl went deep into the tank; eventually having to automatically use his final time extension button.

Robl had the necessary calling chips in his hand, then re-checked his cards before tossing them to the muck with just seconds to spare.

"I was calling an all in" announced Robl as he looked up Berkey.

"Really? On the turn or the river?" asked Berkey as he raked in the pot.
