Level 9
: 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Under the gun opened with a min-raise to 2,000 and both small blind and Rodger Johnson in the big made the call to see the 
flop.
The player in the small blind checked and Johnson did as well.
The player in the under-the-gun position then bet out 2,700. The small blind folded and Johnson snap-raised all in.
The under-the-gun player went into the tank. He counted out calling chips and shuffled them while he stared at the flop.
Johnson's all in was a few thousand more than a pot bet leading the under-the-gun player to strongly consider calling.
Ultimately, the player folded and Johnson took down a decent pot.

With a board of 
, action was heads up between Joseph Cheong and Dale Willie.
The pot held nearly 15,000 but something on the board kept both Cheong and Willie from betting the turn.
The 
river led to more checking from both Cheong and Willie.
Joseph Cheong: 
Dale Willie: 
As the pot was pushed towards Cheong, Willie was showing signs that he wished he'd taken a shot at bluffing the river.
