Andrew Pettenger
Andrew Pettenger

Andrew Pettenger opened to 6,000 in the hijack and was three-bet to 18,000 by the big blind. He made the call, bringing the flop {6-Spades}{4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} where the big blind went all in for Pettenger's effective stack of 33,200. Pettenger immediately called.

Andrew Pettenger: {a-Spades}{4-Spades}
Big Blind: {7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}

The turn {3-Hearts} gave Pettenger four gutshot outs to sweat, but the river {6-Diamonds} came cleanly to improve him to a full house and secure him the dub.

Daniel Sandoval

An all in and call were overheard with a pile of chips already in the middle on a board of {7-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{q-Clubs} and Randy Novak was the one at risk, jamming for his remaining 42,000 on the button and receiving a check-call from Daniel Sandoval in middle position.

Randy Novak: {10-Clubs}{2-Clubs}
Daniel Sandoval: {k-Clubs}{8-Clubs}

Novak's flush was drawing dead as the one possible club to give him a straight flush was already held in Sandoval's hand. The river {8-Hearts} completed the runout and Novak made his way from the table as the pot was shipped in Sandoval's direction.

Action was on the hijack, facing an all-in shove from Durant for his effective stack of 28,100. After some time, a call was made.

All-In Player: {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}
Chris Durant: {5-Hearts}{5-Clubs}

The all-in player saw the news and stood up, tapping the felt as he did so while looking back to the river {2-Clubs} to confirm it did not give him his necessary two outer to stay alive.

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Randy Novak
Randy Novak

Randy Novak open-limped in the hijack and saw Caleb Pence pump it up to 4,500 in the cutoff. Action folded back to Novak and he called.

The flop came {5-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} and Novak led out with a bet of 5,000. Pence grabbed one chip of a matching denomination off the top of his stack with his thumb and index finger and dropped it onto the felt to call, bringing the turn {8-Spades}.

"Damn, captain. I suppose I'll move all in over here," said Novak, sliding his stack forward.

"How much is it?" asked Pence.

"Discount, man. You got more," responded Novak as the dealer counted his remaining 21,500. Pence then found a fold and Novak took down the pot with his turn shove.
