Herstein Climbing Back

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

Pat Steele was in middle position and opened to 2,200. He received a call from the player on the button before Gary Herstein found action upon himself in the big blind. Herstein confirmed the amount and then asked to see Steele's stack before throwing in a three-bet to 6,800.

Steele let his hand go to put action back on the player on the button, who thought for a few moments and then tossed his hand to the muck as well, resulting in a won pot preflop for Herstein, who has chipped back up over 40,000 after losing a few pots over the last couple of hours.

Calvo Takes from Johnson

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

Jim Calvo was in the process of firing a bet of 3,500 into the middle from the hijack on a flop of {q-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{8-Spades} in a heads-up pot against Aaron Johnson, who was on his direct left in the cutoff. Johnson made the call

The turn came {7-Spades} and Calvo fired out another 5,100. Johnson thought for some time and then tossed out calling chips. Both players then checked the river {7-Clubs} to take the hand to showdown.

Calvo showed {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts} for queens and sevens with an ace kicker. Johnson was unable to beat it and flung his cards to the center of the table face-down to muck them.

Manke Sends One To the Showers

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante
Bryan Manke
Bryan Manke

There was around 20,000 in the pot with heads-up action between Bryan Manke, who was in the big blind and an opponent in early position. The board read {9-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} and Manke announced he was all in, sliding out well over a pot-sized bet.

The early-position player had about 14,000 left behind him, meaning he was the one who was put to a decision for the rest of his chips. After close to a minute, he committed the chips into the pot.

All-In Player: {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}
Bryan Manke: {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}

"Gah! Good game," said the player, standing up as the river fell {k-Diamonds}. Manke's jacks remained best at showdown and the pot was sent his way, bringing him close to three starting stacks worth of chips around 30 minutes after the second break of the day.

Broom Doubles Through Herstein

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante
Kyle Broom
Kyle Broom

An all in and a call were overheard and Kyle Broom got the last of his chips all in from the button versus Gary Herstein, who was under the gun.

Kyle Broom: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}
Gary Herstein: {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}

Broom watched the flop come {2-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}, planting him even further out in front with a set of aces. He would only need to fade running broadway cards or running tens, and the turn {7-Spades} ensured he would do just that, leaving Herstein drawing dead as the river {j-Hearts} came to complete the runout and score him Broom the double.

"Someone Call, Please"

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante
Danny Sepiol
Danny Sepiol

Aaron Johnson saw action folded to him in the cutoff and opened to 1,400. He received a call from Bryan Manke, who was on the button, to put action onto Danny Sepiol in the small blind. Sepiol three-bet all in for 16,000, sending the big blind into the tank with a decision for nearly a full starting stack.

After over a minute, the big blind folded. Both Johnson and Manke quickly folded afterwards.

"Someone call, please!" said the big blind, half-joking as he watched the two players still left in the hand both fold. "I call!" he then added with a smile.

Sepiol was the only player with cards left, however, and saw the dealer send the pot his way. The big blind then added that he felt good about his chances against Sepiol, but elected to fold because he was concerned about getting further action from either Johnson or Manke.
