Sometimes The Bar Eats You

Level 6
: 200/200, 50 ante
Mark Dunbar's run good continues here at Canterbury as he just put some distance between him and the pack at the top of the counts.
He fired 5,000 into a 
board, then took a second to think before calling when his heads-up opponent pushed in for another 10,000-plus.
Dunbar had the 
and the second-nut flush was good against the 
straight. The 
river looked good, but meant little and Dunbar is the man on top now.

Loaded For Bear
Level 7
: 250/500, 50 ante
Following up on his deep run at MSPT Meskwaki last month, James Wilson is stacked again and loaded for bear here in Minnesota.
He three-bet aces and got the call from one opponent. They checked a king-high flop, but Wilson led 5,000 and got called on a blank turn. The river came a second king and Wilson called off when his opponent shoved queens.
A little later he crested the 70,000-chip mark with a 3,000-chip three bet and a 4,500-chip c-bet heads up on a 
flop.

Nice Catch Lucky
Level 8
: 300/600, 75 ante
Rob Wazwaz had chipped up into the lead but just ran into a roadblock on his path to glory.
The player on his right had opened to 1,600 and Wazwaz three-bet to 3,600. The riaser called and they went heads up to an 
flop. Both players checked to the 
turn and the raiser tapped the table again.
Wazwaz led for 3,000, but his opponent would not be swayed and made the call. Finally, after another check on the 
river, Wazwaz bet 25,000.
His opponent called and Wazwaz turned over 
, playing the wheel on board. They chopped the pot when Wazwaz' opponent showed 
.
"Nice catch lucky," said Wazwaz, although it was unclear who the comment was directed towards.
