Sell, Thiem Get There

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante
Jason Sell
Jason Sell

Jason Sell called from the button when a shorter stack shoved for 8,775 on a {q-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} flop. Sell had flopped a pair and a flush draw with {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}, while the cutoff had {a-Spades}{10-Hearts} for top pair. The cutoff turned two pair with the {10-Clubs}, but it ended up being his downfall as a {j-Spades} river gave Sell a backdoor straight.

On another table, Thao Thiem put a shorter stack at risk and hit a wheel with {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} against {k-Clubs}{k-Spades}.

Dresch Takes Three-Way All in

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante
Jeremy Dresch tripled up.
Jeremy Dresch tripled up.

We found Jeremy Dresch all in for 12,150 on the button after a flop of {q-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{6-Clubs}. A player put his stack in from the big blind for slightly less, and Jonathan Olson leaned back in amazement, double-checked his cards, and tossed out a call.

Olson: {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}
Dresch: {k-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}
Big blind: {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}

Everyone had seen a good flop, as the big blind had top set, Olson flopped the best hand with a flush, while Dresch needed a club for a better flush. The turn gave it to him as the {5-Clubs} hit, leaving Olson disappointed and asking for the {8-Clubs}. The {4-Hearts} neither paired the board nor gave Olson his straight flush on the river, and Dresch smiled and scooped the pot.

"Joker" Silenced

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

Jared Mohnen opened for a raise under the gun and got a slew of callers before Marc "Poker Joker" Powers shoved all in for about 10,000 in the big blind. Mohnen moved in as well, and everyone else folded.

Powers: {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}
Mohnen: {q-Clubs}{q-Hearts}

Mohnen flopped a third queen as it came {q-Spades}{5-Hearts}{9-Hearts}, and the {3-Spades} turn left the Joker drawing dead.

Crooks Isolates and Eliminates One With Six-Bet

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

Derek Crooks made it 700 to go from an early position and was called by Sam De Silva in the cutoff. The player on the button reraised to 1,800, and Crooks made it 3,700. De Silva cold-called, and the player on the button jammed for about 9,000. Crooks raised to 15,500, and De Silva finally dumped {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} face-up. It was a wise decision, as Crooks had {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}, and the third player was disappointed to show {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}, knowing he needed a straight. The board ran out {j-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{7-Hearts}, and Crooks took the pot.
