A Hand with Howard

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Howard Hankin
Howard Hankin

Action folded around to Howard Hankin in the small blind and he raised to 5,000, which the lady in the big called.

When the flop fell {q-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{6-Hearts}, Hankin put out a continuation-bet of 10,500 and that did the trick as his opponent folded.

It wasn't the most exciting hand, but anytime Hankin raises out of the small blind, well it's worth an update.

Nuss with the Ladies

Level 10 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Tara Nuss moved all in for 26,000 from early position and a middle-position player isolated by three-bet jamming all in over the top.

Tara Nuss: {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Opponent: {a-Spades}{q-Spades}

Nuss had the best of it but had to sweat it as the {k-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{k-Spades} flop gave her opponent a spade flush draw.

Fortunately for her, neither the {5-Hearts} turn nor {j-Clubs} river completed it and she shipped the double.

Checking It Down with Ajayi & Wilkie

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Dapo Ajayi
Dapo Ajayi

Dapo Ajayi raised to 3,200 from early position and two spots over MSPT Golden Gates champ Steve Wilkie called.

The rest of the players folded and the flop came down {k-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{6-Hearts}.

Both players checked and then did the same on the {4-Hearts} turn as well as the {7-Clubs} river.

Wilkie showed the {6-Spades}{8-Hearts} for a pair of sixes but it was no good as Ajayi had gotten there on the river with his {7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} for a pair of sevens.
