David Blankenship opened to 7,300 in middle position and Patrick Roy re-jammed for 14,500 in the hijack. Chad Bjorkman cold-called on the button and Blankenship called as well, taking future side-pot action to a flop of ![]()
![]()
. First to act, Blankenship jammed for his remaining 28,500 and Bjorkman folded, giving Roy a shot at a triple.
"Do you have a pair?" asked Blankenship. Roy said he did. "You're ahead," Blankenship added.
Patrick Roy: ![]()

The turn
then fell to do Roy in, as he was unable to re-spike the two outer on the river

A player raised to 2,200 in early position and Ross Lantzy called in the cutoff. The big blind also came along and the three players saw a flop of ![]()
![]()
. The big blind checked and the original raiser continuation-bet 5,000. Only Lantzy called.
The turn came
and the original raiser fired a second barrel of 8,000. Lantzy fanned out chips on the table, presenting a raise to 22,000, and his opponent thought for about 15 seconds before shooting his cards to the muck.

Zach Gutierrez was down to his last 6,200 and re-shoved from middle position over an early-position open. The player on the button came over the top for a covering stack to the opener, forcing him out of the pot.
"Ace-king?" asked Gutierrez. His opponent nodded, lifting his cards up for Gutierrez to see before both players' cards went onto the felt face-up.
