Givens Takes a Hit

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

Will Givens opened for 2,000 under the gun. A player in middle position didn't see the open and announced 2,600, so he had to call. Three others called as well and action checked to the false opener on the {5-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{9-Clubs}. He shoved for 8,500, and everyone folded back to Givens, who called.

Givens: {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}
Opponent: {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}

The {10-Diamonds} turn gave Givens a decent shot, but the river was a {k-Clubs}.

Olson Can't Hold

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante
Jonathan Olson
Jonathan Olson

On a {2-Clubs}{k-Spades}{j-Spades} flop, Jonathan Olson bet 21,000, which looked to be well over the size of the pot. Ravi Subramanian, on his right, check-raised all in for just over 60,000 and Olson quickly called with {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}.

Subramanian had a draw with {a-Spades}{10-Spades} and bricked the {2-Diamonds} turn. Not the {q-Hearts} river, though, which gave him a winning straight.

Ajayi Has Life

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante

One player was all in for 5,900 on the button, and Adedapo Ajayi was also all in, for 13,900 in the big blind. A player under the gun called, and a player in the hijack went into the tank. Ajayi called a clock and that player eventually called also.

The two active players checked through the {7-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} board. Ajayi opened {q-Clubs}{q-Hearts} and it was good. The other all-in player had {a-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}, the player under the gun had {a-Spades}{10-Clubs} and the hijack had {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}.

Verbeck Squeezes Out Value

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante

Joel Verbeck was in the small blind and bet 3,200 on a {7-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{10-Clubs} flop. His lone opponent called from the button and they both checked the {8-Hearts} turn, bringing a {q-Clubs} river. Verbeck downsized to 2,200 and his opponent called.

Verbeck showed {j-}{j-} and it was good.

Kuznia Unlucky and Busted

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante
Brett Kuznia
Brett Kuznia

Brett Kuznia opened for 1,600 in middle position and got one caller. Michael Ermie made it 6,600 on the button and Kuznia jammed for 17,700. The caller mucked and Ermie tanked about 30 seconds and splashed in chips.

Ermie: {a-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}
Kuznia: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}

Kuznia was in a dominating spot but it eroded a bit on the {8-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} flop. The {3-Clubs} was a brick but the {j-Hearts} river gave Ermie a straight.
