Jordan Gaviano Rebuilding

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

An unknown player limped in middle position and Jordan Gaviano raised to 1,200. The blinds released, the limper called and the flop came {A-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}. The player checked, Gaviano bet 1,500 and his opponent called after some thought. The turn came {7-Diamonds}, the player checked again and Gaviano bet 3,700. After some thought his opponent mucked the hand and Gaviano is building towards the starting stack.

Van Sanford Doubles Through Green

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

We didn't see when the money went in, but we came upon the aftermath of an all-in pot between big blind Ryan Van Sanford and Brian Green in late position. The board had ran {4-Clubs}{10-Spades}{6-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} and Van Sanford's stack was just over 36,000. His {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs} had triumphed over Green's {k-Spades}{q-Spades} and Green shipped most of his stack.

"Gamble, gamble," said the High Roller for One Drop final table participant.

Bond Binks

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

We found Matt Bond deep in thought in the big blind, with an opponent in middle position having shoved in about 15,000 on a board of {3-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{6-Spades}. Bond tanked for a good three minutes at least, and then slammed in some chips to call. His opponent moved his hands away from where they were clasped in front of his mouth and turned over {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} for a set. Bond flinged in {a-Spades}{a-Hearts} but the dealer burned and brought forth the {a-Diamonds} for the river.

That caused the player in middle position to rock back in shock, and Bond collected the pot.
