"That Was a Pretty Good Runout"

Level 4 : 200/300, 300 ante
Aaron Massey in Day 1b action
Aaron Massey in Day 1b action

There was around 8,000 in the pot on the river with a board of {q-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} and Aaron Massey had a bet of 4,900 out in front of him from early position. Action was on the cutoff, who was thinking about his decision.

After over a minute, a call was announced. Massey quickly tabled {5-Clubs}{6-Clubs} to show a full house and began to take his bet back. His opponent had thrown a T5,000 chip in to call and Massey tossed him a T100 chip for change as he collected his newly-acquired chips.

"That was a pretty good runout!" said the player in the one-seat. Massey looked up and nodded slightly in approval.

Dombrowski Showers a Shorty

Level 4 : 200/300, 300 ante

A player went all in for his last 1,800 from under the gun and Dan Dombrowski reraised to 3,600 from early position, two to the all-in player's left. All remaining players folded.

All-In Player: {j-Clubs}{9-Spades}
Dan Dombrowski: {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}

"Well, two live cards," said the all-in player. His live cards could not help him stay alive as the board ran out {3-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{8-Spades}{7-Diamonds}, resulting in his departure from the tournament area as the pot was shipped Dombrowski's way.

Barnes Flops a Set, Gets a Stack

Level 4 : 200/300, 300 ante

There was over 6,000 in the middle from preflop action as stacks were in the process of going in on a flop of {4-Spades}{2-Hearts}{8-Spades}. Hands were tabled and the small blind was at risk against Eric Barnes, who was in the big blind.

Small Blind: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
Eric Barnes: {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}

Barnes had flopped top set and was able to get his opponent's pocket kings to commit the rest of his chips, causing a reaction from a few other players at the table as the player now needed to hit a two outer of his own on one of the final two cards to stay alive.

The turn came {2-Clubs}, improving Barnes to a full house. Nonetheless, the only thing that changed for the small blind was that his number of chances to hit a king were cut in half. That number went from one to zero as the river came {3-Clubs}, leaving his hand to be second best and resulting in his elimination at the expense of Barnes.

Delayed Continuation-Bet Works for Johnson

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante
Aaron Johnson
Aaron Johnson

A payer in early position opened to 800 and was called by players behind him in middle position and on the button. Aaron Johnson then three-bet to 5,700 from the small blind.

The early-position player folded and both other players called, taking three-way action to a flop of {k-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{2-Spades}. All three players checked.

The turn came {k-Spades} and Johnson sat stoically for about 15 seconds before throwing out a bet of 6,500. The middle-position player thought for a couple seconds and then shook his head in a slightly nodding fashion. He then folded. The player on the button folded shortly thereafter and Johnson quickly took back his bet and scooped up the pot that was shipped his way.

Joseph Ramps Up the Aggression

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante
Johanssy Joseph
Johanssy Joseph

Two players limped in from early position and action folded its way around to Johanssy Joseph, who was in the hijack and raised to 2,000. The big blind called behind, as did both limpers to take action four ways to the streets.

The flop came {6-Spades}{k-Spades}{j-Diamonds} and action checked to Joseph, who put in a T5,000 chip as he announced a continuation-bet of 3,500. The next two players to act folded and the last player in early position called.

With action heads up, the turn fell {6-Diamonds}. The early-position player checked.

"All in," said Joseph, looking to the dealer as he made the announcement. The player across the table folded, resulting in Joseph's turn bet earning him the pot.
