Jimmy Eastham
Jimmy Eastham

On a final board of {7-Spades}{9-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}, a player bet 2,500 from middle position and saw Jimmy Eastham make it 7,500. A third player folded, and Eastham's opponent called, turning up {2-Spades}{2-Clubs}. Eastham had a bigger full house with {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}.

Grimes Bluffs Small

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante
Jeff Grimes
Jeff Grimes

A player in middle position bet 1,250 and was called by Jeff Grimes on his left on a board of {6-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}. The {6-Spades} river led to the same bet from the first player, but this time Grimes made it 3,100 to go. His opponent thought awhile and exchanged some banter with Grimes before folding a {j-Hearts}. Grimes showed {a-Hearts}{q-Spades} for a missed straight draw.

Karasoulis Gets Lucky

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

A player jammed for his last 5,525 from early position and was called by Mihail Karasoulis, while everyone else folded.

Karasoulis: {q-Hearts}{j-Hearts}
Opponent: {j-Clubs}{j-Spades}

The flop was innocent enough, {5-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}, but a {10-Hearts} turn gave Karasoulis a pile of outs with a combo draw. The {8-Hearts} was one of his cards, and his flush got the knockout.

Lowery Pays Off Drew

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante
Danny Drew
Danny Drew

Danny Drew bet 900 from middle position after two checks on a {3-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} flop. Both opponents called, and the {9-Hearts} prompted action to check to him again. Drew bet 2,600, and Duma Lowery in the big blind was the only taker this time. A {6-Clubs} finished out the board, and Lowery checked. Drew bet 4,200.

"You must have the stone nuts or just know I'm gonna call off," Lowery said. "Here you go."

"Ace-jack?" Drew said, sounding unsure if {a-Clubs}{j-Spades} was good. It was, as Lowery flicked his cards to the dealer.
