Hahn Chipping Up

Level 7 : 200/400, 50 ante

After three limpers, Michael Hahn raised to 2,000 on the button. Two of the limpers called and the three players saw the {5-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} hit the flop. Everyone checked.

The turn was the {9-Hearts} and the first two players checked before Hahn bet 3,650. The first limper called while the second got out of the way. The river was the {3-Diamonds} which drew checks from both players.

The dealer motioned towards Hahn to show his hand as the last aggressor to the pot but he immediately shot up and responded, "No way, floor!" Within a few seconds, a tournament director instructed that TDA (Tournament Director's Association) has the player to the left of the button must show first if there is no betting on the river. The opponent, having heard this ruling said, "Oh, I didn't even know he checked," and flipped over his {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts}. Hahn tabled {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs} and was shipped the pot.

A few hands later, Hahn chipped up again and is now at 68,000.

Saul Making Moves

Level 7 : 200/400, 50 ante

Kevin Saul raised from early position to 850 and was called by only the player in the big blind. The flop was {9-Spades}{j-Clubs}{7-Hearts} and when checked to him, Saul continued for 1,050. His opponent called.

The turn {j-Diamonds} was checked twice and the two saw the {9-Clubs} hit the river. This time, the player in the big blind led for 3,000 and was quickly called by Saul. The opponent showed, {10-}{3-} which was well behind the {a-Spades}{9-Hearts} of Saul.

With that pot, Saul has hit the 70,000-chip mark.

Guagenti's Patience Pays Off

Level 7 : 200/400, 50 ante

Nick Guagenti was in the big blind and had two players enter the pot for a raise in front of him. He made 2,650 more and both opponents called. The flop came {J-Clubs} {4-Spades} {2-Spades} and all three players checked. The turn came {7-Spades} and all three players checked again. The river brought the {8-Hearts} and Guagenti bet 6,850. One opponent called and then mucked when Guagenti tabled {J-Hearts} {J-Spades} for top set. Guagenti is around 26,000 with his haphazardly stacked chips.

Saul Gives Some Back

After the player in the hijack limped in, Kevin Saul raised to 1,250 and was called by the player in the small blind before the player in the big blind three-bet to 4,475. The initial limper folded before Saul put the big blind all in for his last 15,000. The small blind folded and the three-bettor made the call.

Saul: {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts}
Opponent: {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

The board ran out a clean {7-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{2-Spades}{9-Spades}{k-Spades} and Saul drops down to 55,000.

Weber With Another

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

Troy Weber just recently found his spot atop our Day 1b leaderboard and it isn't taking him long to build on that lead.

On a {k-Clubs}{q-Spades}{8-Hearts} flop, the first player checked to a player in middle position who bet 2,300 into a pot worth about 5,500. Weber called in position and the third player exited the hand.

The turn was the {9-Spades} and both players checked to see the {6-Clubs} hit the turn. Weber's opponent led out again, this time for 4,500 and Weber made the call. His opponent had {k-Hearts}{j-Clubs} but it was no good to Weber's {k-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}.

With that pot Weber is just short of the six-figure mark at 97,500.
