Double for Buchanan

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

John Buchanan pushed all in under the gun with 7,075, and action folded to the small blind, who quickly called.

Buchanan: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
Small blind: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}

Buchanan called for small cards, and a run out of {j-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{8-Spades} did the trick.

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante
Glenn Strickland
Glenn Strickland

On a board of {2-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{7-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}, Glenn Strickland bet 3,000 after one player checked, and Juan Cortes called. The player who checked shoved all in for about 10,000, and both Strickland and Cortes called. On the {3-Spades} river, Strickland moved in as well for 24,425, and Cortes snap-called.

Strickland leaned in and slapped {4-Hearts}{4-Clubs} down for quads. The all-in player showed {7-Clubs}{7-Spades} for top boat, while Cortes had also filled on the turn with {2-Clubs}{2-Hearts}.

Dykeman Folds One Out

Level 5 : 150/300, 50 ante

Andrew Dykeman bet 2,000 from the small blind on a {10-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{a-Diamonds} flop and was called by his lone opponent in middle position. Dykeman checked the {5-Clubs} turn, and his opponent bet 3,500. Dykeman jammed for about 11,000 and his opponent snap-folded.

Dykeman showed {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}.

Phillips Fades Runner-Runner

Level 5 : 150/300, 50 ante

Alan Phillips bet from middle position after the big blind checked to him on a {9-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} flop. The bet was verbalized when Phillips tossed out 3,000, so we didn't catch the exact amount, but the big blind raised to 5,600. Phillips shoved all in and was called for 8,275 total.

Phillips: {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}
Big blind: {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

Phillips had a hammerlock on the hand, but a {7-Spades} meant he needed to dodge an {8-} on the river. He did so as a {2-Hearts} fell.

Lamphere's Value Bet Backfires

Level 5 : 150/300, 50 ante

Adam Lamphere bet 3,500 from the big blind on a board of {q-Spades}{4-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{9-Hearts} against Roy Vazquez, who called in the cutoff. On the {5-Spades} river, Lamphere bet 10,000, nearly putting his opponent all in. Vazquez called again after tanking briefly, and Lamphere rolled over {q-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} for queens up. His two pair had actually torpedoed his hand though, as Vazquez had turned a straight with {k-Clubs}{j-Spades}.

Raymer Loses a Small One

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Greg Raymer continuation-bet 600 on a {j-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{10-Clubs} flop from the cutoff against both blinds, and the big blind called. The player led out at Raymer for 1,500 on the {8-Hearts} turn, and Raymer called. On the {4-Diamonds} river, action went check-check and Raymer couldn't beat {a-}{10-}.

Cortes Over 70,000 with Quads

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante
Juan Cortes
Juan Cortes

A player in middle position had the betting lead after firing the flop and turn as the board came {4-Spades}{j-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}. A player in the small blind had called him down, as had Juan Cortes in the cutoff. On the river, action checked to Cortes, who bet about 6,500. The small blind jammed for what looked like 15,000, and the aggressor let his hand go.

Cortes snapped, as he'd turned quads with {4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}. The small blind showed he'd been coolered with {2-Spades}{2-Hearts}, turning a boat that killed his slim equity.
