Gallegos Rivers Hudson

Level 9 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Adam Hudson saw an unlucky river.
Adam Hudson saw an unlucky river.

Three players checked a {j-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{7-Spades} flop, and Adam Hudson bet 10,000 on a {q-Clubs} turn after one check. Brian Gallegos called on the button, and the small blind folded. An {a-Spades} hit the river, and Hudson bet 15,000. Gallegos tossed all of his chips in, a raise of 13,400.

"I call," Hudson said. "I have a seven."

He showed {7-}{5-} for trips, but Gallegos had rivered a flush with {10-Spades}{8-Spades}.

Kou Vang's third barrel was for all of his chips.
Kou Vang's third barrel was for all of his chips.

Kou Vang opened for 3,400 in middle position and only the button called. Vang's continuation-bet was 3,900 after the {7-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} flop. His opponent made the call and saw a turn of {8-Spades}. Vang fired again, this time for 8,100, and he was quickly called once more. The river brought a {j-Hearts}, and Vang pushed all in for 22,000. His opponent thought for about 30 seconds before giving up his hand.

Matt Alexander got lucky against Blake Bohn.

Matt Alexander got his short stack all in against neighbor Blake Bohn.

Bohn: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Alexander: {a-Spades}{4-Diamonds}

No waiting, as they say: a {5-Clubs}{a-Clubs}{6-Spades} flop left Bohn with two outs, which he didn't find on the {10-Hearts} turn or {7-Hearts} river.

"I don't even want to play poker any more," Bohn said.

Wahdan Busts Another

Level 9 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

The small blind bet out 12,500 on a {j-Clubs}{q-Spades}{8-Clubs} flop, and Nader Wahdan called from early position. On the button, a third player raised to 40,000, knocking the small blind out. Wahdan moved all in, and his opponent called off his 102,100 stack.

Wahdan: {j-Spades}{8-Spades}
Button: {q-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}

Wahdan had flopped bottom two, but his opponent had outs with top pair and a gutter. Neither the {4-Hearts} nor the {2-Hearts} helped him, however, and Wahdan dragged another big pot.

Harris Takes a Hit

Level 9 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Lance Harris opened for 3,400 in middle position, and two spots behind him, Michael Campbell three-bet to 13,500. Harris came back with 33,400, and Campbell shoved for 65,400 total. Harris called.

Harris: {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
Campbell: {j-Clubs}{j-Spades}

The players were racing, and Campbell took a firm grip on the pot when the flop came {j-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{k-Hearts}, giving him a set. A {9-Spades} turn meant Harris was drawing dead, and Campbell doubled through.

May Wakes Up with KK

Level 9 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

After a raise to 5,500 and a call from the hijack, Olimpia May jammed a covering stack from the cutoff. Action folded back to the caller, who put his last 20,000 or so in.

May: {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}
Hijack: {a-Spades}{10-Spades}

The flop came {10-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{3-Spades} bringing a couple of additional outs for the hijack. He called for a ten or an ace, but two babies came out: {2-Diamonds} and {4-Diamonds}, leaving May's kings good.

Romer Outruns Bohn

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 200 ante
Blake Bohn busted in a race.
Blake Bohn busted in a race.

Blake Bohn shoved all in after action folded to him in the cutoff, and "Wild" Bill Romer called in the small blind.

"I hope you don't have a pair," Bohn said, tabling {5-Diamonds}{5-Spades}.

"Pair of clubs," Romer said, revealing {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}.

A {3-Hearts}{a-Spades}{10-Spades} flop meant Bohn was way behind. The {9-Spades} didn't help him, and neither did a {2-Clubs} river.

Bohn wished the players good luck on Day 2 before making his exit.

Matt Kirby couldn't get anything going on Day 1c.
Matt Kirby couldn't get anything going on Day 1c.

Matt Kirby jammed for 19,600 in middle position, and Colin York thought for awhile before calling in the small blind.

York: {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs}
Kirby: {5-Clubs}{3-Clubs}

Kirby had live cards, but York flopped a deadening pair on the {q-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} flop. The {a-Diamonds} meant Kirby was done for, and an {8-Diamonds} finished out the hand.

Hayes Ships Stack to Harris

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 200 ante
Lance Harris knocked out "JohnnyGstaks."
Lance Harris knocked out "JohnnyGstaks."

Lance Harris opened for 4,200 in the hijack, and John Hayes moved all in from the cutoff for about 24,000. When it got back to Harris, he called right away.

Harris: {k-Clubs}{k-Spades}
Hayes: {a-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}

Hayes' three outs turned to nothing but backdoor possibilities on the {k-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{4-Hearts} flop. A {5-Clubs} turn gave him a worthless pair, leaving him drawing dead.

"Good luck, guys," he said after pushing his stack to Harris.
