Kottwitz Takes Three-Bet Pot
Level 4
: 200/400, 50 ante
One player limped, Kenneth Kottwitz made it 1,075 in the cutoff, and Lance Harris three-bet to 2,425 on the button. The limper called, as did Kottwitz.
Everyone checked the 
flop, and a 
turned. After a check, Kottwitz bet 3,000 and got two calls. The 
completed the board, and three more checks ensued. The first player showed 
for a pair of nines, but Kottwitz had a far better holding: 
for a turned straight.

We found Patrick Steele check-calling a bet of 2,000 from Blake Bohn on a 
flop. Steele then check-called 3,800 on the

We found Rich Dixon shoving all in against two opponents out of the big blind after a

One player thought for a bit before folding, but a player in late position snap-called.
Dixon: 
Late position: 
Dixon had flopped two pair with the hand sometimes known as the flat tire, and he was ahead of his opponent's kings. The

Gole Shows the Cooler
Level 3
: 100/200, 25 ante
Jason Gole bet 3,800 on the end with the board reading 
. 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 for the second nuts.
Indeed, Gole showed 
for the better flush, and he stacked his unfortunate opponent.
