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.

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.

Norris Outruns Jacks

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

A player in middle position opened for 7,000 and got three-bet to 18,000 by Dan Bekavac. Small blind Bryan Norris moved all in for 41,000, and the opener reshipped for approximately 60,000. Bekavac tanked awhile before the clock was called. Near the end of his countdown, he mucked.

Norris: {a-Spades}{q-Spades}
Opponent: {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}

The board ran out {a-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{k-Spades}{3-Hearts}{6-Clubs}, giving Norris the win with aces.

How Things Turn

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Dan Bekavac
Dan Bekavac

We found the cards on their backs at the action table, with Dan Bekavac involved again.

Bekavac: {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}
Under the gun: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}
Big blind: {q-Clubs}{9-Clubs}

Everyone missed the {5-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{3-Spades} flop, but Bekavac hit his miracle as the {q-Spades} fell on the turn. He had everyone covered and took the massive pot.

Bekavac Gets There Once More

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Dan Bekavac raised to 7,000 in the cutoff and received action from both blinds. They checked to him on the {10-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{8-Spades} flop, so he bet 16,000. The small blind mucked, but Mike Ross made it 37,000. Bekavac called, and both checked the {a-Diamonds}. Ross checked the {7-Spades} river and called 30,000.

Bekavac showed {j-Hearts}{9-Hearts} for a straight, while Ross revealed his {10-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} had been outdrawn.
