Matt Alexander

Matt Alexander bet 1,500 on a {10-Spades}{j-Hearts}{2-Hearts} flop from middle position, and Joe Ford made it 3,000 in the cutoff. Ryan Perez cold-called that from the button, and Alexander came along to see a {k-Spades} turn. He checked and Ford bet 8,000. Perez called, and Alexander put in his last 9,025, which both opponents called. Check-check on the {q-Hearts} river, and Alexander flipped {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} to take the pot with Broadway.

Syverud Outdraws Barnard

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

Joe Barnard had a pink T5,000 chip in front of him, representing a bet of unknown amount on a {4-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{10-Spades} flop. Rick Syverud had made it 8,000 from the cutoff, and Barnard shoved all in for 35,000 or so. Syverud called.

Syverud: {k-Spades}{9-Spades}
Barnard: {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}

Equities were close but Barnard fell way behind on the {7-Spades} turn. The {9-Clubs} river meant Syverud took his stack with a flush.

Jim Boone
Jim Boone

Ernest Garrett check-called from the small blind when Jim Boone bet 6,500 on a {7-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{3-Hearts} board. Garrett checked the {4-Hearts} river and Boone moved all in for 8,100.

"Call," Garrett said instantly.

"Nutter butters," Boone said, tabling not-quite-the-nuts: {8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}.

Garrett mucked the {5-Hearts} face-up.

"Some days you're the pigeon, some days you're the statue," Boone said.

Players are on break for three minutes.
