Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

We found small blind Chuck Swansfeger betting 3,200 on fourth street with the board reading {8-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{4-Spades}{3-Hearts}. His opponent on the button made the call, and the board two-paired with the {8-Spades}. Swansfeger bet 6,200, and he got called once more. Swansfeger showed {q-Spades}{8-Hearts} for eights full, and he took the pot.

Jeremy Dresch got outdrawn on the river.

With the community having come {6-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}, Jeremy Dresch bet 2,100 from the cutoff and saw his button opponent raise to 5,100. Dresch thought for a bit before making what appeared to be a very reluctant call. He showed {a-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for the nut flush, but the button had {j-}{8-} for a full house.

Jason Gole had the nut flush.
Jason Gole had the nut flush.

Jason Gole bet 3,800 on the end with the board reading {k-Hearts}{3-Spades}{9-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{6-Spades}. His opponent in the cutoff announced all in, and he had about 18,000 total. Gole immediately called.

"You have the ace?" the cutoff asked, fearing the worst as he tabled {k-Spades}{q-Spades} for the second nuts.

Indeed, Gole showed {a-Spades}{j-Spades} for the better flush, and he stacked his unfortunate opponent.

Rich Dixon flopped jacks up.

We found Rich Dixon shoving all in against two opponents out of the big blind after a {j-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{4-Hearts}. The bet was 6,250, significantly more than the pot.

"Suicide bet," he said

One player thought for a bit before folding, but a player in late position snap-called.

Dixon: {j-Clubs}{4-Clubs}
Late position: {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}

Dixon had flopped two pair with the hand sometimes known as the flat tire, and he was ahead of his opponent's kings. The {q-Spades} and {7-Clubs} were clean for Dixon, and he doubled up.
