Swanson Blasts the Turn

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

After a {5-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{j-Clubs} flop, Anthony Swanson and Larry Ormson checked to Brian Zupancich, who bet 1,625. Both opponents called, and the turn was the {6-Spades}. Ormson bet out 1,800 after Swanson checked, and Zupancich called. Swanson woke up with a raise to 5,400, and Ormson quickly folded.

"Sevens no good eh?" Zupancich asked after thinking for a bit. He mucked his hand, and Swanson took the pot.

Norberto Santamaria hit his draw to bust an opponent.
Norberto Santamaria hit his draw to bust an opponent.

We found a huge all-in pot after a flop of {q-Spades}{10-Clubs}{7-Spades} between Norberto Santamaria and one opponent.

Santamaria: {a-Spades}{j-Spades}
Opponent: {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}

Santamaria had flopped a nut flush draw with a gutter, while his opponent had middle set. The {6-Spades} turn completed Santamaria's flush, and he dodged the board pairing when the {j-Diamonds} came on the river.

Bryan Busts Bullet Two

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

Jeff Bryan bet 1,700 against a lone opponent on a flop of {8-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}. Eric Eelkema made the call, and the two checked the {q-Hearts} turn. A {6-Clubs} fell on the river, and Bryan bet 2,000. Eelkema put him all in for about 10,000, and Bryan called. Eelkema quickly flipped {6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} for a rivered full house, and Bryan disgustedly mucked his {10-Spades}{10-Clubs} face up.

Lesniak Gets There

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

Derek Lesniak called a shove of about 6,000 from a short stack after a flop of {4-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{8-Spades}.

Lesniak: {k-Clubs}{7-Clubs}
Opponent: {8-Hearts}{6-Hearts}

Lesniak's opponent had a better pair, but Lesniak had plenty of opportunity for improvement with a flush draw, straight draw, and overcard. The {9-Clubs} turn ended things, and Lesniak's opponent completed a straight with the meaningless {7-Hearts} river.

Alexander, who was reportedly short stacked, tripled up when his hand held.
