Trost Lurks With Nuts

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante
Craig Trost
Craig Trost

A player in the small blind shoved all in for 11,025 after fourth street made the board {3-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}. The first player, who was in early position, tanked awhile before folding. Another player folded, and Craig Trost snap-called in the cutoff, tabling {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds} for top set.

"Are you serious?" the distraught all-in player said, turning over {9-}{7-} for top two on the flop that was now drawing stone dead.

Another player said he folded a set of threes when the hand was done.

Reichard Catches a Bluff

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

Brett Reichard bet 1,400 on a board of {3-Spades}{4-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} from middle position. His opponent in the big blind check-raised to 3,500, and Reichard called. The big blind slowed down with a check on the {4-Clubs} river, and Reichard thought for awhile before checking back. The big blind shook his head and showed {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} for queen-high, easily bested by Reichard's {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}.

Rob Wazwaz
Rob Wazwaz

Rob Wazwaz was in the big blind and fired 3,500 into three opponents on a {9-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{4-Spades} flop. A player folded, and the cutoff made the call, leading to another fold from the player on the button. Heads up now, Wazwaz bet 5,500 on the {8-Spades} turn. His opponent moved all in for 8,425, and Wazwaz thought awhile before calling despite the fantastic odds. He was shown {k-Clubs}{8-Clubs}.

"I'm drawing dead," Wazwaz declared, turning over {j-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}.

Despite the big loss, Wazwaz remains above the starting stack.

Larry Ormson just doubled up with {a-Clubs}{a-Spades} on a jack-high board. We didn't see his opponent's hand, as it was already in the muck. Ormson is still well below the starting stack.

Players are on break for 10 minutes.

Stevermer Binks a Flush

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Dennis Stevermer opened for 450 under the gun, and a player two to his left made it 1,450. The big blind cold-called after action folded to him, and Stevermer called as well. The three saw {5-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} flop, and action checked to the aggressor, who bet an unknown amount after tossing out a T5,000 chip. The big blind folded, and Stevermer made it 7,000. His opponent shoved, and Stevermer called immediately with {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs} for a flush draw. His opponent turned over {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds} but was drawing dead after a {4-Clubs} hit the turn.
