Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante
Blake Bohn got all in way ahead.
Blake Bohn got all in way ahead.

Three players saw a flop for what appeared to be 1,175, and it came {q-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{4-Clubs}. The small blind bet out 2,500, and an early-position player folded. Blake Bohn announced a raise, smiled, and tossed his lone chip in: a red T5,000. His opponent made the call.

Small blind: {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}
Bohn: {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}

Bohn was in fantastic shape, and a {9-Diamonds} elicited a mysterious call for a king from the small blind. The river was a brick: {8-Diamonds}, and Bohn doubled up.

Clark Rivers Trips

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

The big blind bet 3,600 with the board reading {3-Spades}{9-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}, and George Clark called from early position. A {9-Diamonds} paired the board, and the big blind thought for about a minute before betting 5,500. Clark made the call, and his opponent quickly tabled {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}. Clark had it beat with {a-Hearts}{9-Hearts} for rivered trips though, and the big blind shook his head at the beat.

Danny Ray Gonzales called off with nines.
Danny Ray Gonzales called off with nines.

Danny Ray Gonzales opened for 500 in early position, and the big blind jammed for 10,000 after action folded to him. Gonzales called.

Gonzales: {9-Clubs}{9-Spades}
Big blind: {a-Spades}{10-Spades}

Gonzales flopped a set on the {8-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}, but a {q-Hearts} gave his opponent hope with a straight draw. The {k-Clubs} river didn't fill it though, and Gonzales stacked his opponent's chips.

March Busts Breyfogle

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante
Robert March won a flip against Todd Breyfogle.
Robert March won a flip against Todd Breyfogle.

We didn't see the action in front of him, but Todd Breyfogle had made it 4,100 from the small blind and was contemplating an all-in shove of 24,000 from the big blind. Breyfogle, who had about 13,500 total, decided to call.

Breyfogle: {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts}
March: {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}

The {4-Hearts}{2-Spades}{a-Spades} flop gave March a hammerlock on the hand.

"Can't beat ace-king," Breyfogle said as he slid his chair backwards. Indeed, he couldn't after the dealer finished out the hand with the {8-Hearts} and {7-Diamonds}. "Nice hand."

Givens Gets Value with Quads

Level 3 : 100/200, 25 ante

On the end, William Givens had fired 7,000 from under the gun, and a late-position player was contemplating calling off half of his stack on a board of {5-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{7-Spades}{q-Hearts}{8-Clubs}. After a few minutes of thought, the player called. Givens showed {5-Diamonds}{5-Spades} for flopped quads.

"No wonder I couldn't put you on a hand," the late-position player said.

Mortellaro Ousts Orvis

Level 3 : 100/200, 25 ante
Dave Orvis picked a bad time to shove.
Dave Orvis picked a bad time to shove.

Lou Mortellaro bet 10,000 from early position after a {q-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{10-Spades} flop, and Dave Orvis thought for a bit before shoving all in for a few thousand more. Mortellaro quickly called.

"Not aces and kings?" Blake Bohn asked. He was half right.

Mortellaro: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}
Orvis: {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts}

Mortellaro did have the aces, and he was well ahead of his opponent's jacks. Orvis found no help on the {7-Diamonds} or {6-Hearts}, and he quickly gathered his backpack and exited the table.
