Big Call by Perpich

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

We found Bill Perpich facing a bet of 5,200 on a board of {a-Spades}{4-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}.

"Call," he announced confidently after thinking briefly.

His opponent shook his head in disappointment, reluctant to reveal his holding.

"I have an ace," Perpich announced, showing {a-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}, which was good.

Ahmed Pays Off Johnson

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante
Aaron Johnson has a nice early stack.
Aaron Johnson has a nice early stack.

Aaron Johnson bet 5,900 on the river from under the gun on a board of {10-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{7-Spades}, and Muneer Ahmed was thinking it over on the button. Eventually, he flipped in a call, and Johnson tabled {10-Hearts}{10-Spades} for a set. Ahmed showed {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} for top pair and a missed flush draw.

Ahmed took down a Mid-States Poker Tour event at Meskwaki way back in 2012 for a score of $89,184.

"The Deuce"

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

Rob Wazwaz got Andrew Licari all in for his short stack before the flop.

Wazwaz: {q-Clubs}{q-Hearts}
Licari: {a-Spades}{3-Spades}

The flop brought {4-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{10-Clubs}, leaving Wazwaz a near-cinch to win the hand. A {5-Diamonds} turn gave Licari a gutshot, though.

"The deuce," Wazwaz said calmly just before the dealer peeled off a {2-Spades}.

"Another beat for the Waz," he said with a laugh.

Ben Marsh

Three players saw a {6-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{3-Hearts} flop for 1,500 apiece, and action checked to the hijack, who bet 2,800. Ben Marsh called in the small blind, and Sam De Silva jammed for just 5,275 in the big blind. The hijack shoved, and Marsh quickly did so as well.

Marsh: {6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}
De Silva: {j-Spades}{9-Spades}
Hijack: {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}

The set held up as the turn brought a {7-Spades} and the river a {5-Hearts}.

Players are on break for 10 minutes.
