Carr Pushing for Lead

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Scott Carr
Scott Carr

Scott Carr bet 6,200 in a four-way pot after {q-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{5-Clubs} flopped, and only one opponent called. On the {q-Clubs} turn, he bet about 8,000 and got another call. It went check-check on the end with {j-Clubs} emerging, and Carr looked dejected to show {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}.

Players are on break for 10 minutes.

Rapid Rush for Ross

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Mike Ross
Mike Ross

Mike Ross just went on a two-hand blitz, first hitting a straight flush with {q-}{q-Diamonds} on a board with {j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}. It was a good thing he had the {q-Diamonds}, as his opponent had {a-Diamonds}{4-} and made the nut flush.

The next hand, Ross flat-called a flop bet and then called a turn shove on a {2-Hearts}{5-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} with {4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}. His opponent had {a-}{k-}, and Ross collected her stack of about 60,000.

No Three-Outer for Rosheisen

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Ken Rosheisen
Ken Rosheisen

As Nicholas Aranda told it, Ken Rosheisen made a big three-bet from the blinds over an open by a player in last position, and they player jammed in to put Rosheisen at risk. Rosheisen called with {a-Spades}{9-Clubs}, but he was unable to overtake his opponent's {j-}{j-} and lost his last 40,000 or so.

Rare Brick for Hodge

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Mark Hodge
Mark Hodge

Mid-States Poker Tour Player of the Year points leader Mark Hodge has been cashing seemingly every time he buys in, but he fired a blank here at FireKeepers. He shoved his last 15,000 or so over a raise and saw the small blind cold-call. The opener shoved as well, and the small blind reluctantly called with {9-}{9-}. He was ahead though, as Hodge held {4-}{4-} and the other player had {a-}{k-}. Nobody improved, leaving the nines best.

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

We found Mike Ross putting a shorter-stacked player who had about 20,000 at risk preflop. Ross held {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts} and was against {a-}{q-}, and he held as the board ran out dead seven-high.
