Chow Feasts on Hebda

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Joseph Hebda
Joseph Hebda

Bob Chow was in the small blind, and he check-called 3,400 from Joseph Hebda on a {5-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} flop. A {9-Spades} turned, and Chow checked again. Hebda bet 7,500, and Chow put him all in for about 9,000 more. Hebda called it off.

Hebda: {8-}{8-}
Chow: {a-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}

Chow had flopped a gutter but turned a much more disguised winning hand with a pair of nines. The {6-Clubs} bricked off on the river, and Hebda headed for the exits.

Halata's Massive Overbet Pays Off

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

Paula Halata checked from the big blind on a {2-Spades}{j-Spades}{4-Hearts} flop, and the player under the gun bet 3,500. The player on the button called, and Halata put 41,000 in, nearly all of her stack. The initial bettor folded, but the player on the button hesitated.

"Why would you do that?" he said. "Do you really want to gamble? I think you're behind. I think you have a flush draw."

About a minute later, he put Halata all in.

Halata: {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts}
Opponent: {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}

Halata's opponent's read was way off, and her kings stood after the {9-Diamonds} turn and {q-Diamonds}.

Players are now on break for 10 minutes.

Bianchi Finally Extinguished

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

Paul Bianchi finally met his demise on third time being all in behind with a short stack. Mike Holm did the honors with {10-}{10-} when Bianchi couldn't catch anything with {a-}{3-} despite flopping a wheel draw.

Bianchi Survives Once More

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

Mike Sabbia opened for 1,500 in early position, and Paul Bianchi shoved for about 6,200. Action folded back to Sabbia.

"I know I'm behind," he muttered before apparently deciding the price was too good to pass up.

Sabbia: {k-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}
Bianchi: {k-Spades}{10-Spades}

"I'm ahead," Sabbia said, pleasantly surprised. The {2-Spades}{3-Spades}{q-Clubs} flop gave Bianchi a flush draw, though.

"It's over," he said, waving the chips towards himself. He was right, as the {6-Spades} turn gave him an unbeatable flush.
