Johnson Picks Off Bohn's Bluff, Bohn Eliminated Shortly After

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Action started on the river in a heads-up pot between Linda Johnson and Blake Bohn. The board showed {3-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{6-Spades}{j-Clubs} and about 15,000 was in the pot.

From the big blind, Bohn bet 12,500 on the river. Johnson thought for a while before making the call.

"Ugh, your pair is good," said Bohn.

Johnson showed {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts} for top pair and the winner.

"Just one pair?" said Bohn. "Good call, she made a great call. You played the hand really well," Bohn said sincerely.

*****

A couple hands later, Bohn raised to 1,200 from the button. The big blind moved all in for the 9,000 effective remaining in Bohn's stack. Bohn snap called.

"You ran into a monster," said Bohn.

Blake Bohn: {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts}
Opponent: {5-Spades}{5-Hearts}

"Does he have spades? No spades. For some reason I feel spades coming," said Bohn.

Spades were the least of Bohn's worries when the window card was the {5-Diamonds}. The full board ran out {9-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} and the set felted Bohn.

"Look at these hands," said Bohn as he headed out the door to buy back in.

Chladek Stands Up, Then Sits Right Back Down

Level 5 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Action began on the flop in a three-way pot with Noel Chladek leading out for 1,600 from the small blind. The board was {3-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{6-Hearts}.

The under-the-gun player raised to 3,600. The cutoff didn't go away, though, making the call of the flop raise as well.

Back on Chladek, he moved all in for 11,900, standing up as if getting ready to exit after he did so.

However, both of his opponents folded and the pot was pushed his way.

"Raised but couldn't call, huh?" said the cutoff while looking at the player under the gun.

Level 5 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Luke Blindert
Luke Blindert

An early-position player limped in, prompting Luke Blindert to do the same from middle position. Action folded to the small blind who bumped it up to 2,200. Both the early-position player and Blindert made the call.

The flop came out {a-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{k-Clubs}. The original raiser checked, the early-position limper bet 2,500. Blindert raised it up to 10,500.

Action folded back to the flop bettor, but he didn't think long before folding.

"Royal flush," announced Blindert, showing {q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}, for 80% of the royal, but it sounded like he knew it was coming.

Action picked up on the flop with a large pot brewing between Ray Bullock and Shaun Skrondahl. With about 20,000 in the middle, Bullock moved all in with a board of {8-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{3-Spades}.

"20-thousand and two hundred," announced the dealer.

Bullock revealed the aggressive move was backedup with his flashed {k-}{j-} for the bluff.

"Thanks for showing," said Skrondahl.

Action picked up on the river with a complete board showing {j-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{j-Hearts}{k-Spades}{9-Hearts}. Over 20,000 was in the middle.

At-risk opponent: {a-Spades}{q-Spades}
Andrew Weber: {j-Spades}{10-Clubs}

Weber had flopped a full house and said that he checked all three streets. His opponent turned the straight and couldn't escape the cooler with any chips remaining.
