Winter Ices Cobb

Level 3 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

In a four-way pot, Lee Cobb led for 1,600 from under the gun. The board showed {10-Clubs}{3-Spades}{j-Hearts}.

Alex Winter min-raised from the cutoff to 3,200. That forced folds from the two players in between them. Back on Cobb, he three-bet the flop to 7,000. Winter decided to call in position.

The turn brought the {4-Hearts} and Cobb continued his aggression with a bet of 15,000, nearly enough to put Winter in. After a little thought, Winter went with his hand, moving all in for 17,200. Cobb called the rest.

Alex Winter: {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}
Lee Cobb: {k-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}

Winter had Cobb pipped and drawing thin, the river changed nothing when the {10-Spades} hit, and Winter locked up the double at Cobb's expense.

Skluzak Gets Paid By a Non-Believer

Level 3 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
Ryan Skluzak
Ryan Skluzak

Action picked up on the turn in a large heads-up pot. The board showed {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} and about 22,000 was in the middle.

Ryan Skluzak was in position on the button and put in 30,000, enough to cover the 15,000 or so that was in Ryan Remington's stack. Remington thought it over and landed on a call.

Ryan Remington: {3-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}
Ryan Skluzak: {k-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}

Remington made the hopeful hero call, but saw Skluzak had the goods with trips. The river brought the {9-Diamonds} to stack Remington and give Skluzak the pot.

Action picked up on the flop with about 5,000 in the middle in a four-way pot. The board showed {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}.

Dallas Schmidt: {j-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}
Terry Novak: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}

"Diamonds? Yeah, I was worried, you had diamonds," said Novak. Still he had top set and was in good shape.

The turn was the {6-Hearts}, changing nothing.

"Black!" yelled Novak.

The river did bring a diamond, but it was the {6-Diamonds}, pairing the board and shipping Schmidt's stack to Novak.

Lee Cobb
Lee Cobb

Action began on the flop with the board showing {6-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{3-Hearts}. Lee Cobb was on the button and battling against the big blind.

Cobb bet 2,000 in position and his opponent made the call.

On the {10-Diamonds} turn, Lee bet 3,500 when checked to, again his opponent made the call.

The river brought the {5-Diamonds}, the backdoor flush draw completing. This time, the big blind led for 5,000. Cobb didn't think long before sliding his entire stack into the middle, about 21,000, having his opponent slightly covered.

The big blind thought for about 45 seconds and committed his stack as well.

Big blind: {a-Spades}{j-Spades}
Lee Cobb: {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}

Cobb seemed to know just where he was at as his overpair stacked the top pair of his opponent for all the chips.
