Jeremy Dresch got outdrawn on the river.
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.

Uniss Takes a Bet-Call-Bet Line

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante
Spencer Uniss is looking to make it two big scores here at Golden Gates.
Spencer Uniss is looking to make it two big scores here at Golden Gates.

Spencer Uniss three-bet to 1,400 out of the big blind after the cutoff opened to 450 and got called by the small blind. The cutoff called, and Uniss continuation-bet 1,200 on the {5-Hearts}{2-Spades}{4-Diamonds} flop. The cutoff made it 2,650, and Uniss called. He then came out betting with 5,000 on the {j-Diamonds} turn, and the cutoff thought for about a minute before letting his hand go.

Uniss, a Boulder, Colo., native, notched a win worth over $200,000 at an event here in 2011, so we'll see if he can take another title here in his home state.

Bohn Turns the Nuts

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

Blake Bohn bet 400 out of the cutoff after two players had checked to him on a board of {6-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}. The button raised to 1,000, and the two players behind folded. Bohn reraised to 2,725, and the button called. A {4-Clubs} fell on the river, and Bohn flipped a single T5,000 chip into the middle. His opponent quickly called, but he couldn't beat Bohn's {9-Spades}{8-Clubs} for a straight.
