Fleischer Finds a Favorable Runout

Level 4 : 100/300, 300 ante
Terry Fleischer
Terry Fleischer

All of the chips had gone into the middle and the dealer was in the process of running out the cards with Terry Fleishcer all in from the hijack against an opponent in middle position.

Terry Fleischer: {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}
Middle Position: {a-Clubs}{j-Spades}

When all was said and done, the board read {j-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{3-Hearts}, giving Fleischer's opponent a three outer on the flop for top pair, top kicker, only to see running hearts put him back ahead to score the double with his flush.

"I Was Hoping For A Flip"

Level 4 : 100/300, 300 ante
David Larson
David Larson

David Larson had 16,000 in front of him under the gun and was facing a reraise all in for his effective stack of 38,000 from an opponent in the cutoff. He had been in the tank for some time, requesting a clock after not much longer. The dealer complied, but Larson found a call before the floor could arrive. The cutoff quickly tabled his hand, showing {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}.

"I was hoping for a flip," responded Larson as he tabled {7-Spades}{7-Diamonds} in turn. Larson remained in front as the board ran out {j-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{9-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} and earned the double as a result.

Raimer Applies the Pressure

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante
Archie Raimer
Archie Raimer

There was around 3,500 in the middle on a flop of {2-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{3-Spades} with heads-up action between the under-the-gun Archie Raimer and his opponent in middle position. Raimer had checked and was facing a bet of 1,600, which he check-raised to 4,000. His opponent called.

The turn came {q-Diamonds} and Raimer continued, betting 6,500. His opponent called again and the river came {k-Hearts}. Raimer fired a third time, putting out 20,000, more than enough to put his opponent all in.

Faced with a decision for his tournament life, the cutoff thought for about half a minute before letting his hand go, resulting in Raimer taking down the pot sans showdown.

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante
David Lett
David Lett

There was over 20,000 in the middle with a board of {10-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} and action was on Jeff Maas in the big blind. Maas had checked and was facing a bet of 5,000 from David Lett, who was in early position with 7,100 behind.

Maas confirmed how much Lett had left and then announced he was all in, check-jamming to put Lett all in. Lett immediately called.

"Oh, don't do that!" said Maas with a smile as he showed {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}. Lett tabled {7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} for a straight and the pot was shipped his way.

Ziemann Good at Showdown

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante
Tristan Ziemann
Tristan Ziemann

There was three-way action on a flop of {9-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} with an under-the-gun player checking to a player in middle position, who bet 1,500. Tristan Ziemann raised it up to 3,500 in the cutoff and the under-the-gun player called. The middle-position player folded, and the two players in the hand proceeded to check through both the turn {3-Hearts} and river {q-Hearts} to take the hand to showdown.

Upon checking back, Ziemann tabled {j-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} and saw his opponent muck to take down the pot with his pair of jacks.

Jackson Sends One To the Showers

Level 6 : 300/500, 500 ante
David Jackson
David Jackson

A player raised to 1,000 under the gun and received two calls, one of which was from David Jackson in the hijack. The flop came {a-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{8-Spades} and the under-the-gun player made a continuation-bet of 3,000. Jackson raised after the player in between folded, making it 9,000, and the under-the-gun player three-bet jammed for around 20,000. Jackson called.

All-In Player: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}
David Jackson: {8-Clubs}{7-Clubs}

The pair and flush draw saw the turn {6-Diamonds} add an open-ended straight draw to Jackson's total number of outs, which ultimately proved to be too much for the all-in player to fade as the river {4-Spades} gave Jackson the straight and earned him both the pot and knockout.
