Andy Rogowski opened from the cutoff to 600, and the player in the small blind made it 1,800 to go. Rogowski called, and he called a continuation-bet of 1,400 on the flop. Both players quickly checked the , and the small blind bet 2,200 on the river. Rogowski wasted little time before putting his opponent all in for 5,000 more.
"Are you serious?" the small blind moaned.
Rogowski remained silent and then took the pot when his opponent folded about a minute later.
We found a player in the small blind who bet 3,000 on a board facing a raise to 10,000 from Nicholas Aranda, who was in the cutoff. The bettor called, and Aranda showed for the nut flush. His opponent showed what a poor river he'd gotten: for an inferior flush.
Ken Rosheisen bet 3,000 from the small blind on an flop, and his opponent under the gun shoved all in for about 5,800. Rosheisen splashed in a call with and saw he was ahead of but had some cards to fade. The turn put him well behind, and an river was a blank.
A player in the big blind bet 2,500 on a flop, and Dan Bekavac called from the cutoff. The aggressor fired 3,575 more on the turn, and Bekavac responded with an all-in shove for 9,675. The bettor asked how much more it was to him. The dealer told him it was 6,100 after pulling in the bets.
Andy Rogowski took issue with this, saying that the dealers weren't supposed to do the math for the players. He said the dealers could only leave the raise amount out, it was up to the player to count it himself. The floor was called, and the tournament director said the dealer was within his job to tell the raise amount if asked.
Bekavac took the pot after his opponent folded, but debate continued to rage after the hand until the floor was called a second time and warnings were issued.
David Plotkin sat down and ended up getting all in on a flop against Keith Goodrich, who had . Plotkin had Goodrich crushed with for top two, but a turn threatened to ruin his day. The river was a saving grace to give him nines full and the double.
The player on the button opened for 350, and Jason Johnson three-bet to 1,075 in the small blind. Dan Bekavac called in the big blind, as did the opener. Johnson continued for 1,350 on the flop, and Bekavac called. The player on the button made it 3,400, and Johnson responded with a quick all-in shove for around 14,000. Bekavac thought a bit and folded, and the third player mucked fairly quickly.

Prior to last summer's World Series of Poker, Jason Johnson didn't have a recorded live cash. That changed in a big way when he went on an epic run, finishing seventh in the Millionaire Maker, third in another $1,500 event, and 51st in the Main Event for a total of more than $567,000. With the Mid-States Poker Tour rolling through his home state of Michigan, the Pontiac native has opted to show up and try his hand.
