March Ships to Yazdi

Level 4 : 200/400, 50 ante
Reza Yazdi dodged some outs.
Reza Yazdi dodged some outs.

Robert March bet 5,000 on a board of {5-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} out of the cutoff, and Reza Yazdi check-shoved for 11,575 more in the small blind. March thought for a bit and let out an anguished sound.

"I think I have 12 outs," he said. "Call."

March: {k-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}
Yazdi: {k-Spades}{j-Spades}

Yazdi was ahead with top pair, but March did indeed have 12 outs with his flush draw plus gutter. Unfortunately for him, the {q-Spades} wasn't one of them, and Yazdi took about half of March's stack.

Paulus Wins with AA on Scary Board

Level 4 : 200/400, 50 ante

After fourth street, the board read {7-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}, and Bill Romer checked from the small blind. Lou Mortellaro bet 5,000, and Rosie Paulus made the call, as did Romer. A {10-Diamonds} hit the river, and everybody checked.

Mortellaro showed {k-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} for kings up, but Paulus' {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts} was a better two pair, and she took the pot.

Breyfogle Doubles in Strange Pot

Level 4 : 200/400, 50 ante
Todd Breyfogle saw a lucky flop.
Todd Breyfogle saw a lucky flop.

According to a bystander, Todd "sharkslayerr" Breyfogle opened to 450 under the gun. The only problem was, since the big blind is currently 400, it was ruled a call. The small blind put 2,100 out there when action folded to him, and Breyfogle made the call to see a {k-}{7-}{5-}. The small blind checked, and Breyfogle bet 2,100. The small blind came back with 6,000, and Breyfogle shoved for approximately 22,000 and got called.

Small blind: {a-}{k-}
Breyfogle: {k-}{7-}

Breyfogle had outflopped his opponent with two pair, and the small blind failed to improve on the last two streets.

Dresch Doubles Through Fielder

Level 5 : 300/600, 75 ante

Jeremy Dresch opened for 1,400 in middle position, and Jeff Fielder raised to 3,000 from the next spot. Blake Bohn called on the button, and Dresch called as well.

Dresch checked to the raiser after the {8-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} flop, and Fielder fired 4,500. Bohn folded, and Dresch thought for about a minute before dropping all of his chips in the middle. Fielder beat him in there.

Fielder: {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}
Dresch: {6-Hearts}{6-Clubs}

Fielder had two overs and a flush draw, and he added a straight draw when the {7-Hearts} arrived on the turn. A {k-Hearts} river was a brick though, giving Dresch a double.

George Clark fired 2,700 after a {6-Clubs}{4-Spades}{3-Diamonds} flop against Matt Alexander on the button. Alexander called, and he called 3,200 more on the {q-Clubs} turn. When the {5-Clubs} hit the river, Clark bet fired the third barrel for 6,000. Alexander shoved for about 18,000, and Clark immediately called, tossing {7-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} into the middle.

"Nice hand, sir," Alexander said, heading for the rebuy desk.

Bohn Calls Off to Givens

Level 5 : 300/600, 75 ante
William Givens sent Blake Bohn to the rebuy desk.
William Givens sent Blake Bohn to the rebuy desk.

Blake Bohn, in early position, check-called a bet of 5,000 from William Givens after a flop of {5-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}.

"I hope you check the turn," Bohn said.

"I will," Givens replied as the {4-Diamonds} fell. The dealer then burned and turned the {3-Hearts}, and Bohn checked once more.

Givens put him all in for 15,000 or so, and Bohn thought briefly before announcing a call. Givens tabled {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts} for an overpair.

"It's good," Bohn said, tossing {a-Clubs}{5-Clubs} face up into the muck.
