Sun Sees a Bad Turn

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

Former Mid-States Poker Tour Player of the Year Dan Sun just got a shorter stack all in on a board of {7-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{q-Clubs}. Sun held {q-}{10-} for top two, but his opponent had flopped a straight with {j-}{9-}. Sun didn't improve on the {8-Spades} river, and he was forced to double the player up.

Kirby Doubles Early

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante
Matt Kirby got outflopped, but he caught up on the river.
Matt Kirby got outflopped, but he caught up on the river.

A player checked to Matt Kirby on the button in a three-bet pot, and he bet 1,200 on the {q-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} flop. Kirby's opponent check-raised to 3,300, and Kirby responded by reraising to 10,000. His opponent pushed all in, and Kirby called for about 8,000 more.

Kirby: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Middle position: {7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}

Kirby's opponent had flopped a flush, but Kirby was still drawing live to a pair on the board. A {10-Clubs} turn changed nothing, but the {8-Hearts} river gave Kirby the boat he needed. The sponsored pro is not a player others will want to see with a hefty stack, but he's on his way.

Loehr Fires Two Streets

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

We found Eric Loehr betting 1,600 on an {8-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{a-Hearts} flop against an under-the-gun opponent who had checked. The players called, and a {9-Hearts} came on the turn. The under-the-gun player check-called 2,600 this time, and both players checked the {2-Spades} river.

Loehr's {a-Spades}{j-Spades} was good against the {k-}{k-} of his opponent.

Also, Lance Harris and Matt Kirby are in the field.

Ring Running Into Monsters

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante
Terry Ring didn't pay it off on the end.
Terry Ring didn't pay it off on the end.

We found Terry Ring, under the gun, contemplating a bet of 2,500 on a board of {2-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{a-Clubs} from an opponent in the big blind.

"I don't think you have another set," Ring said. "And I don't think you have the four-five."

Apparently, he had himself convinced because he made the call, and a {9-Hearts} finished out the board. The big blind fired 3,500 this time.

"I guess you caught your ace," Ring said, folding {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} face up.

The big blind showed that Ring's initial read was off: he tabled {6-Spades}{6-Clubs} for top set on the flop.

Early One for Wazwaz

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

We found Rob Wazwaz firing 675 when checked to on the end with the board reading {2-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{5-Hearts}. His opponent made the call, and Wazwaz showed {q-Clubs}{10-Spades} for two pair on the dangerous board.
