"I Need Help"
Level 3
: 100/200, 0 ante
We missed some early action in a multi-way pot, but what we discovered upon arrival at Table 11 was around 2,000 in the middle and a board reading 
.
Michael Weber had a T5,000 chip in front of him in middle position and was debating what to do as Steven Clark had moved all in for around 15,000 from late position. Weber opted to make the call and that prompted Clark to say, "I need help."
Steven Clark: 
Michael Weber: 
Weber was ahead with two pair while Clark let it ride with his flush draw. He paid the price for it too as the 
peeled off on the river to improve Weber to a full house and send Clark to the rail.

Norris Takes from Heine
Level 3
: 100/200, 0 ante
Bryan Norris limped under the gun and the next player to act did the same. When action reached MSPT Meskwaki champ Keith Heine in the hijack, he raised to 825. Pieter Mol called from the small blind, Norris called, and the other limper came along to make it four-way action to the 
flop.
Three checks saw Heine continue for 1,075 and both Mol and Norris called. The other limper got out of the way and then the triumvirate all checked the turn.
Mol checked for the third time on the 
river and Norris bet 2,800. Heine wasted little time in making the call and Mol folded.
Norris tabled the 
for a straight and it was good as Heine sent his hand to the muck unseen.

Azret Covic:
Opponent: 
The turn changed nothing and the 
river improved Covic's opponent to two pair. But the third club on board also improved Covic to the nut flush and he was able to get the double up.
