Calverley Runs into Trips

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

Jeremy Calverley opened to 500 from the lojack and was called by one player on the button.

Calverley then check-called an 800 bet on a {8-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} flop.

Both players checked on the {4-Hearts} turn, but Calverley opted to lead out for 1,400 on the {q-Spades} river. His opponent simultaneously put out calling chips and tabled {k-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} for trip queens. Calverley mucked and his opponent scooped the pot.

Carey Gets Flushed

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante
Irene Carey
Irene Carey

A player from early position raised to 500 and was flatted by Irene Carey in middle position. Action folded to the player in the cutoff, who three-bet to 2,000. The initial raiser called, but Carey then back-raised all in for about 19,000 total. The three-bettor called all-in for a bit less than 10,000 and the other player folded.

Carey: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}
Cutoff: {a-Spades}{q-Spades}

Carey had her opponent dominated and increased her lead even more on the {j-Spades}{3-Hearts}{2-Hearts} flop.

However, the {7-Spades} turn and {4-Spades} river would give Carey's opponent a runner-runner flush to double through her.

Carey was knocked down to 9,600 after the hand.

Same Hand For Smith

Level 4 : 100/300, 300 ante

A player opened to 800 from middle position and was called by a player in the cutoff and Jerod Smith in the big blind.

The flop came {j-Spades}{q-Clubs}{6-Hearts} and action checked to the original raiser, who bet 1,600. Only Smith called.

The turn brought the {6-Spades} and Smith again called a bet from his opponent — this time for 3,500.

Both players opted to check the {6-Diamonds} river and Smith tabled {7-Spades}{7-Clubs} for sixes full of sevens.

"No good," Smith's opponent said. He then revealed {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} for the same full house.

"Slow roll the chop!" Smith said in jest as the dealer split the pot.
