From the button, Christoph Vogelsang raised to 6,000 and Sam Soverel called in the small blind.

The turn lands the {10-Spades}, and Soverel checked to Vogelsang, and he bet 19,000. Soverel called, and then both players checked the {3-Clubs} on the river.

Soverel tabled his {K-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}, and Vogelsang mucked.

Lehne Shows, But Not the Bluff

Level 5 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Kathy Lehne bet 50,000 into about 90,000 from the small blind on a completed board of {q-Spades}{10-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{2-Spades}. Dennis Blieden used a time extension on her left and then raised to 153,000. Lehne grabbed calling chips and then added 125,000 to them and slid the whole stack in.

"More chips?" Blieden mused.

He used two time extensions and mucked.

"Please show the bluff," said both Doug Polk and Bryn Kenney.

Lehne immediately showed but it wasn't a bluff: {a-Hearts}{9-Hearts} for the nuts.

Kaverman Rivers Straight

Level 5 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Adrian Mateos was in the small blind, firing 20,000 on the flop of {8-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{6-Spades}. He was up against Byron Kaverman who called on the button.

Mateos then checked the {10-Clubs} turn, leaving the betting lead to Kaverman who bet out 40,000. Mateos called.

The {9-Clubs} completed the board and Mateos checked again. Kaverman burned a time extension before slowly moving 50,000 in front of him. Mateos took a minute and called, prompting a quick showdown from Kaverman who scooped the pot with his {Q-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} for a runner-runner straight.

Top Pair for Lehne

Level 5 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

From the button, Bryn Kenney raised to 5,500 and Kathy Lehne called in the big blind.

Both players checked the {10-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{K-Diamonds} flop to see the {9-Clubs} land on the turn.

Lehne bets out 10,000 and Kenney called as the {4-Clubs} completed the board on the river.

Lehne checks, Kenney fires out 21,000, and Lehne called.

Kenney tabled his {Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades}, but it would be Lehne's {K-Spades}{J-Hearts} that would earn her the pot.

One Up, One Down for Polk

Level 5 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Down to a very short stack, Doug Polk raised to 5,000 on the button. Kathy Lehne splashed in 10,000 in the small blind.

"All right, I can call five," Polk said.

They saw a {k-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{10-Spades} flop and both checked. Lehne checked the {8-Diamonds} as well and Polk bet 11,000. Lehne folded and Polk showed the {8-Spades}.

Moments later, on a board of {8-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{8-Clubs}, Kahle Burns bet 5,500 in the big blind after Dennis Blieden checked. Polk called and the river brought a {10-Diamonds}. Burns checked and Polk bet 12,000. Burns called.

"Queen-high," Polk said, showing {q-Clubs}{j-Clubs} for a whiffed flush draw.

Burns showed {7-Spades}{5-Hearts} and took the pot.

Badziakouski Takes from Durnegger

Level 5 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Sitting in late positions, Mikita Badziakouski and Markus Durnegger came to the {8-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{2-Clubs} turn. Badziakouski led out 27,000 and Durnegger called.

The {6-Hearts} hit the felt and Badziakouski paused. When it was over a minute into his turn, Durnegger double-checked with the dealer whether the clock is still on his opponent. Badziakouski then tossed in 64,000 and that was enough to claim the pot as Durnegger slid his hand into the muck.

Lehne Goes Runner Runner on Blieden

Level 5 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Bryn Kenney raised to 5,500 from under the gun and Kathy Lehne three-bet the button to 11,500.

Dennis Blieden four-bets to 45,500, and once Kenney folded, Lehne called.

Both players checked the {Q-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{2-Spades} flop as the turn landed the {6-Diamonds}.

Blieden bet 25,000 and Lehne called as the river of the {A-Diamonds} completed the board.

Blieden bet 55,000, and Lehne called.

Blieden tabled his {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}, but it would be Lehne's {A-Clubs}{6-Hearts} that would scoop the pot off Blieden.
