Cross Takes Out Mossey in Three-Way All In

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Paul Cross picked an excellent time to flop a set.
Paul Cross picked an excellent time to flop a set.

We found three players pushing their chips forward on a flop of {a-Spades}{6-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} at Table 33.

Paul Cross: {4-Clubs}{4-Spades}
Molly Mossey: {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}
Third player: {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}

The third player had everyone covered, while Mossey had the smallest stack. A mighty sweat arrived on the turn in the form of {a-Hearts}, turning Cross' hand from a near-lock to suddenly vulnerable. A brick arrived on the river as the {7-Spades} found the felt, though.

Lawrence Over 200,000; Gonia Done

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
David Gonia
David Gonia

We found Jim Lawrence in the blinds chatting it up with an opponent on the button with a board of {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{3-Spades} in front of them. The two were joking about how hot Lawrence was running, with the player on the button saying he was forced to check because he expected Lawrence had quads.

"I have the full house," Lawrence replied with a laugh.

He then tossed out a small bet on the {4-Hearts} river, showing {k-Spades}{3-Diamonds} for kings full when his opponent called.

David Gonia busted out at another table.

Lang's Rags Good for a Hefty

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Mike Lang bet 6,000 from the big blind after the small blind checked a board of {5-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{2-Clubs}{9-Hearts}. A third player called from the cutoff, and the small blind came along. On the {6-Diamonds} river, Lang bet 12,000, and only the small blind called.

"Two pair," Lang said, showing {q-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} to take the pot.

Hartmann's Urging Fails

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Ryan Hartmann
Ryan Hartmann

Mike Lang opened for a raise in the hijack and was called by Ryan Hartmann in the cutoff. From the big blind, Mike Wilmes put in a raise, folding out Lang. Hartmann and Wilmes got it all in, though.

"Come on, hold up, baby," Hartmann said, standing over his {a-}{a-}.

Wilmes had {j-}{j-}, and Hartmann's lead was short-lived as a jack appeared on the flop. Hartmann cursed a few times in disgust as the last two streets missed him.
