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.

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.

Dresch One-Ups Meyers; Morgan Exits

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Jeremy Dresch and Brandon Meyers checked the turn and the river with another player already all in as the board came {6-Spades}{a-Spades}{9-Hearts}{5-Spades}{8-Spades}. Meyers showed {a-Hearts}{8-Hearts} for aces up, but Dresch's aces up were better with {a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}. The all-in player rolled over {j-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} and head for the doors.

At another table, John Morgan busted out.

Adam Lamphere
Adam Lamphere

Four players put in 2,500 preflop, with Adam Lamphere raising the pot under the gun, but everyone checked to the turn, which made the board {2-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{7-Spades}{q-Diamonds}. Lamphere bet 4,900 and was called by Judd Greenagel in middle position and Nick Pupillo on the button. On the {3-Hearts} river, Lamphere bet 13,000. Greenagel folded after brief consideration, and Pupillo called fairly quickly. Lamphere showed {k-Spades}{q-Spades} for trips, and he dragged the pot.
