Brett Kuznia couldn't get anything going at Meskwaki.
Brett Kuznia couldn't get anything going at Meskwaki.

According to Brett Kuznia, he got in a raising war with another player preflop and ended up all in with {j-}{j-} against {6-}{6-}. Unfortunately for the Minnesotan, his opponent spiked a six on the flop and eliminated him, ending a frustrating two-day stretch for Kuznia.

Mandi Hruska
Mandi Hruska

Winning big pots with aces seems to be the thing to do today,and Mandi Hruska was the latest to join the trend. Her opponent shoved all in on a flop of {3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}, and Hruska snap-called. The player tabled {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds} and shook his head, knowing he was beat, and Hruska showed him the {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}. The {5-Diamonds} and {5-Spades} made it nothing but babies on the board, and Hruska dragged the pot.

Kuznia Sinking

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Brett Kuznia checked a {j-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} flop from the small blind, and David Gonia bet 1,000 from early position. Nick Owen made it 2,500 to go, and Kuznia cold-called. Gonia tanked a long time, and the dealer asked him if he knew it was his action. He nodded an affirmative before tossing out a call. Action checked to Owen on the {3-Spades} turn, and he bet 6,000. Kuznia called, and Gonia folded. Kuznia check-called 4,000 more on the {a-Diamonds} river and was shown {a-Spades}{j-Spades} for top two. He rapped the table before slowly mucking his hand.

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante
Veronica Weaber
Veronica Weaber

A small pot quickly turned huge at one of the outer tables. We found Veronica Weaber with 9,000 in front of her on a board of {a-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}. Her opponent had fired 3,000, and he then moved all in. Weaber called, showing {k-Hearts}{k-Spades} for second set. Her unfortunate opponent had {6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} for a turned lower set. After the {8-Diamonds} hit, Weaber received a total of 21,300 from her foe.

Players are now on a 10-minute break.

Zych Gets the Perfect Turn

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

We found Adam Zych with a bet of 4,500 in front of him on a {7-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{7-Hearts} board. His Patriots-gear-clad opponent was agonizing over the decision before finally calling. Zych showed {k-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} for the nut straight, and his disappointed opponent showed that he had turned a lower straight with {9-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}.

"Wow, how do you only lose that much?" Allen Kessler asked.

Bryan Calls Down With Aces

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

A player in middle position bet 1,000 into Jeff Bryan, who was seated in the hijack on a flop of {9-Spades}{3-Spades}{10-Clubs}. Bryan raised to 3,000, and he was called, seeing a {k-Spades} turn. The middle-position player got aggressive again, coming out with 3,200, and Bryan thought only briefly before calling. Bryan quickly called a river bet, the amount of which we didn't catch, and he was shown {q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for top pair on the flop. That wasn't enough to top Bryan's {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}.

Bryan is a resident of Fort Calhoun, Neb., best known for a deep run in the 2007 Main Event. He cashed for $333,490 after busting in 27th in the tournament eventually won by Jerry Yang.
