Skreens Wakes Up

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

A player opened to 700 in middle position, and the player on the button shoved for about 8,000. Bryan Skreens shoved all in from the small blind, and everyone else folded.

Skreens: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}
Button: {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}

Both players spiked sets as the flop came {a-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{q-Spades}, but Skreens' opponent was unable find his one-outer on the {3-Hearts} turn or {k-Clubs} river.

Holm Misses

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante
Mike Holm
Mike Holm

After a {q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{6-Spades} flop, Mike Holm put his last 5,000 or so in. George Presnell snap-shoved his stack of roughly 14,000 in the next spot, and David Gutfreund was left with a tough decision.

"Holy s***," he said. "Wow. What a sick spot."

After another minute or so, he folded {a-Spades}{q-Spades} face up.

Presnell: {q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}
Holm: {a-Clubs}{3-Clubs}

Gutfreund had made the right laydown, and Holm was left drawing to a flush against top two. The {9-Hearts} and {7-Spades} were bricks for him, and Presnell collected the pot.

Holm will have to try again later tonight or tomorrow if he wants to better his second-place finish from last week's Mid-States Poker Tour Meskwaki.

Chad Holloway
Chad Holloway

Chad Holloway bet 7,000 after an opponent checked to him on a board of {7-}{6-}{5-}{3-}{7-}. His opponent made the call, and a few swear words escaped his mouth after Holloway showed {7-}{6-} for top boat, besting {4-}{4-} for a straight on the turn.

Valecillos Gets a KO

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Three players put 4,050 in preflop, with the big blind at risk. Rafael Valecillos bet 3,000 on the {2-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{6-Spades} flop, and Bryan Moon folded on the button.

Big blind: {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}
Valecillos: {j-Diamonds}{j-Spades}

Valecillos' jacks were in command, and the cherry on top was a {j-Hearts} river after a {3-Hearts} turn.

Jones Collects a Bluff

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante
Jarrett Jones
Jarrett Jones

Jarrett Jones called a bet on a board of {2-Hearts}{3-Spades}{7-Clubs}{4-Spades}, and his opponent fired another barrel of 4,200 on the {9-Diamonds} river. Jones thought for a bit before splashing in a call, and his opponent showed him a bricked draw: {8-Spades}{5-Spades}. Jones had a better flush draw with {q-Spades}{7-Spades}, but he also had top pair on the flop and the winning hand.

Also, Bryan Moon has joined the field.

Players have taken their first break of the day, and they'll be back in 10 minutes.
