Ryan Wood raised to 800 from the cutoff position and was snap reraised to 2,400 by his opponent on the button. Action folded around to Wood who made the call.
Flop:
Wood paused for a moment before checking his option to his neighbor. Three yellow 1,000 chips were gently placed onto the table and Wood immediately went all in for 9,500 more.
Wood's opponent on the button wasn't expecting the shove and went into the tank. After getting a confirmation of the raise amount, Wood's opponent folded his hand.
With a board reading , Joris Fontaine found himself heads up and in position. Fontaine's opponent bet 8,000 and Fontaine went ahead with the call.
River:
The player in early position threw his remaining stack into the center after the river was exposed. Fontaine was facing a final bet of 11,300. Fontaine made the call after thinking for a brief moment.
"Good call." said the early position player loudly as he flipped over for just a pair of fives.
Fontaine stared at the revealed hand confirming that he was ahead quickly before showing for the pot and the knockout.
There was about 8,000 in the pot with a flop of when the small blind, Brandon Setzer, was heads up with a late-position player.
Setzer led out with a bet of 7,500 and the late-position player shoved his entire stack of 48,500 forward. Setzer asked for an official count and went into the tank. Setzer just covering the all-in player made the call and the cards were turned over.
Brandon Setzer:
Opponent:
Setzer didn't have to wait long as the turn gave him the better pair. The river only improved Setzer to a flush. Setzer pulled in his near double up while his neighbor remarked, "Wow, I think we have a new chip leader!"
