Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

Pick Punts a Pair

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

An under-the-gun player shoved all in for 6,925, and another player in middle position reshoved for a bit more. On the button, Justin Pick put them both at risk.

Pick: {9-Hearts}{9-Spades}
Under the gun: {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts}
Middle position: {7-Hearts}{7-Spades}

The first player pumped his fist as the flop came {j-Spades}{4-Spades}{10-Spades}, giving him top pair, but the hand was far from over.

"He has the nine of spades," Rob Wazwaz said of Pick, as Pick pointed to the card. "He can win it all with a spade."

The dealer burned and turned the {9-Clubs}, giving Pick a set.

"...Or a nine," Wazwaz added.

The {2-Diamonds} finished out the board, and Pick collected his opponents' stacks.

Sandness Outdrawn

Mark Sandness
Mark Sandness

Three players checked to Mark Sandness, who bet 5,000 from the button on a flop of {k-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{3-Hearts}. Bruce Yang tossed in his last 7,000 or so from the small blind, a third player folded, and Sandness quickly called, flipping {k-Spades}{10-Spades} for top two.

"One time?" Yang asked, showing {a-Hearts}{8-Hearts} for a flush draw.

An {a-Clubs} turn gave him increased outs, and a {5-Hearts} river filled his flush.

Meyers Sets One Up; Tracy Busts

Brandon Meyers just doubled up his 19,600 stack with {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts}, good for a set on a board of {j-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}. His opponent had {a-}{j-} for top two. We didn't see when the money went in.

At another table, Tom Tracy busted.

Lazar Doubles on Short Stack

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

A player opened for a raise on the button and got three-bet by the small blind, but Tony Lazar woke up with an all-in shove in the big. The opener folded, and the small blind made what looked to be a reluctant call.

Small blind: {5-Hearts}{5-Clubs}
Lazar: {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}

Lazar's queens held up easily, and the former member of "The Crew" grabbed a double up. "Lazer" made his way to the final table of a Mid-States Poker Tour event in April, and he's looking to better his eighth-place finish there.

Lawrence Triples Up

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

After a player raised to about 1,600 and got a couple of callers, Jim Lawrence shoved all in for 4,550 from the blinds. Two of the players called, including the opener, and the two active players took in a {2-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} flop. The initial raiser bet 5,000, forcing his opponent out.

Lawrence: {a-}{4-}
Opponent: {a-}{5-}

A chop looked imminent, as a {q-Spades} turn meant most of the deck would leave the players without a playing kicker. The {4-Clubs} river gave Lawrence two pair though, and he scooped the pot.
