Serratos Takes One From Anderson

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante

Jose Serratos and Steve Anderson were heads up to the flop. The flop came {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{10-Hearts} and Anderson checked to Serratos who bet 2,500. Anderson called and the dealer put out the turn card, the {8-Diamonds}. This time both players checked. The river was the {k-Clubs} and Anderson checked for a third time. Serratos bet 5,600 and Anderson took only a few seconds before showing {a-Hearts}{10-Clubs} and folding.

Gerasimovich's Eights Hold Up

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

Bryan Gerasimovich raised preflop in early position and got one caller before another player shoved all in for 6,775. The action folded back to Gerasimovich and he shoved all in, prompting the remaining player to fold. Gerasimovich took back the rest of his 22,000 chips and was heads up against the all in player. Gerasimovich had {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts} and his hand held on a board of {4-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{10-Hearts}, eliminating his opponent.

Abbas Greatest Hits

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

Abbas Namazi was heads up and looking at a board of {k-Spades}{10-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}. There was roughly 15,000 in the pot. Namazi bet 11,000.

"How do you turn over that card," said his opponent to the dealer, "If I go all in do you fold there?" he asks Namazi, referring to the turn action.

"Show me a king," his opponent says sarcastically as he calls.

Namazi doesn't have a king, in fact he has {q-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} for a straight.

It seems unlikely he would have folded had there been an all in on the turn.

Anderson Back on Top

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

After a bet and a call on the flop Steve Anderson was heads up to the river. The board read {2-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{q-Spades}{9-Hearts} and Anderson bet 5,000. His opponent went all in for her remaining 37,800, which sent Anderson to the tank. Anderson talked to her trying to get any tell or clue to help inform his decision. He ended up tanking for at least two minutes before deciding to call. He showed {a-Clubs}{2-Clubs} for two pair and his opponent turned over {7-}{7-}. The river was the {4-Clubs} and didn't change things. Anderson won the hand and added to his already health stack. With that pot he reclaimed the chip lead.
