Charles Moore started the action with a raise to 70,000 and James Smith called from the big blind. The flop came {Q-Diamonds} {9-Clubs} {6-Clubs} and Smith led out for 200,000. Moore took a moment, announced raise and put 500,000 chips in the middle. Smith took just a few moments and moved all in. Moore called and the hands were tabled.

Moore: {A-Diamonds} {Q-Spades}
Smith: {Q-Hearts} {J-Clubs}

The board completed {4-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} and Smith was sent to the rail.

Charles Moore opened the hand with a raise to 80,000 and Mark Bonsack called from the button. The blinds released and the flop came {2-Spades} {J-Hearts} {J-Diamonds}. Moore pushed out 375,000 and Bonsack started scratching his head.

"I've got a pair Woody." Bonsack said. Then he curiously announced a call, only leaving him 120,000 or so behind.

The turn came {A-Diamonds} and Moore pushed enough chips out to put Bonsack all in, and he called.

Moore: {8-Spades} {8-Clubs}
Bonsack: {5-Hearts} {5-Clubs}

Bonsack was drawing only to a five to take the hand. He whiffed when the river fell {K-Clubs}.

Moore Senses Something

Charles Moore opened to 60,000 from the button, and Stephen Ma came along with him from the small blind.

The flop brought {5-Spades} {Q-Hearts} {5-Hearts} and a check from both men. On the {A-Spades} turn, Ma check-called 110,000 from Moore, and the river {A-Hearts} put two pair on board. When Ma checked a third time, Moore checked it right back.

"I got it," Ma lamented with a frown. He rolled over {A-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds}, and aces full get the job done.

Cavanaugh Takes a Stand

Level 26 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Casey Cavanaugh

On the last hand of the level, Casey Cavanaugh finally took a stand. He's been awfully card dead today by his own admission. But when Charles Moore opened the button to 85,000, Cavanaugh shoved in from the big blind. It was 469,000 total, and Moore spent some time in the tank. Eventually, he turned the {A-Diamonds} face-up and slid both cards back to the dealer.

Cavanaugh will take it. It's the biggest pot he's won in a good while.

Cavanaugh's River Salvation

[user66118]

Stephen Ma raised to 65,000 from the button, and Casey Cavanaugh three-bet shoved from the small blind. It was 375,000 total, and Ma needed to think it over. He spent a couple long minutes in the tank, shuffling the calling chips in one hand. After a while, he eyeballed his remaining stack and dumped the call into the middle.

"You're ahead," Cavanaugh figured.

Showdown
Ma: {A-Diamonds} {2-Clubs}
Cavanaugh: {K-Spades} {Q-Clubs}

The {4-Clubs} {5-Hearts} {7-Clubs} flop was a big miss for Cavanaugh, and he stretched his arms out sideways, palms-up in plea to the poker gods.

The turn {J-Clubs} made things interesting. Cavanaugh picked up a club draw, and he and Ma were both smirking a little.

"It's a sweat," Cavanaugh quipped nervously.

"A good sweat," Ma responded.

"A good sweat," Cavanaugh repeated. "Come on, club. One time!"

The river was not a club. But the {K-Diamonds} was one of the red outs for Cavanaugh. He spiked on the end to tally the double, and he's finally back in this match.
