Zekus Shows the Cooler

Level 6 : 300/600, 75 ante

Brian "Zeke" Zekus fired out 6,200 into two opponents on the turn with the board reading {8-Spades}{j-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}. The first player pushed all in for about double the bet, and the second player tanked for a minute before folding. Zekus casually tossed in a call, tabling {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} for a set.

"Nice hand," his opponent said, getting up after showing he'd been coolered holding {3-Spades}{3-Hearts} for a lower set. A {5-Spades} completed the board, and "Zeke" is up over 50,000.

Maxey's Top-Top Good

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

Both blinds checked to the player on the button after a {q-Clubs}{2-Spades}{10-Diamonds} flop, and he bet 1,700. The small blind called, and James Maxey bumped it to 4,500 in the big blind. The bettor folded, and the small blind called. Both players checked through the {10-Spades}, and a {5-Diamonds} finished the board. The small blind fired out 11,000, and Maxey called immediately, confidently flipping {a-Hearts}{q-Spades} as he did so. The small blind silently mucked his hand.

On the end, with a board of {4-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{2-Clubs}, Kou Vang checked to Todd Melander, who bet 7,000 into a pot of about 20,000. Vang tanked for a couple of minutes before tossing a single black T100 chip into the middle.

"Good call," Melander said softly before tossing {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts} into the middle one at a time for a missed flush draw. Vang showed {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds} and took the pot.

Breyfogle Makes a Flush

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

A player under the gun bet 1,500 after a flop of {6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}, and Todd "sharkslayerr" Breyfogle in the cutoff called, as did the big blind. Everyone checked the {5-Spades}, and the big blind came out with 3,000 on the {3-Diamonds} river. The player under the gun folded, and Breyfogle made the call. The big blind indicated that he couldn't win, and Breyfogle tabled {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for a rivered flush.
