One For Overton

With the board reading {J-Spades}{4-Spades}{2-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} and about 7,500 in the middle, Aaron Overton checked to an opponent who bet 3,500.

A reluctant Overton called after about 30 seconds and was shown {5-Hearts}{5-Clubs} by his opponent. Overton tabled {J-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for top pair to win the pot.

You Cannot Be Sirous

After a player limped from early position, Sirous Jamshidi raised to 1,100, and the table folded back around to the limper who hesitated a moment, and after exchanging some small talk with Jamshidi called. The flop came {6-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{8-Spades}, and when his opponent checked, Jamshidi bet 1,200 and was called. Both players then checked the {9-Spades} turn.

The river was the {K-Spades}, and when Jamshidi's opponent fired a bet of 2,500, Jamshidi shook his head and chuckled with a "you're kidding" expression on his face. Finally Jamshidi folded, and his opponent flashed the {9-Diamonds} before scooping the pot.

Bowker Busts

Kyle Bowker sat in his seat for no longer than 10 minutes before he was sent to the rail.

With only a few thousand in the pot and the board reading {A-Clubs}{7-Spades}{5-Clubs}, action was on Bowker who was faced with a decision for his remaining stack (about 19,000) after his opponent bet well more than 20,000.

Bowker mulled it over for a few moments before sliding in his chips to call, happy to see his {A-Spades}{3-Spades} miles ahead of his opponent's {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}. The {5-Hearts} turn kept Bowker ahead, but the {K-Spades} spiked on the river and Bowker was quickly out the door.

Andrews, Garcia Each Step Aside

We were standing between a couple of tables, one of which finds Cord Garcia battling with a short stack, the other Cherish Andrews having chipped up so far today, and both players were involved in hands at their respective tables.

At Andrews's table, she'd opened for 500 from the cutoff, then a player in the blinds reraised to 1,700, and she called. Then when her opponent fired big at a {6-Clubs}{3-Spades}{2-Diamonds} flop, Andrews stepped aside.

In Garcia's hand, the pot was considerably larger — up over 9,300 — when a flop came {Q-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{7-Spades} and his opponent playing from the hijack seat pushed all in for about 14,000. Garcia (on the button) spent some time counting out his remaining chips to see that he was covered, and eventually let his hand go.

Matros, Cutler Up; Brikis Down

Three-time WSOP bracelet winner Matt Matros is here, sitting at Table 28 a couple of spots away from Josh Brikis.

Matros was just now involved in a hand in which he raised to 500 from middle position and got callers from both blinds. The flop came {Q-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{A-Hearts}, and when checked to Matros bet 600, with both opponents calling. All three then checked down the {K-Spades} turn and {J-Spades} river.

The big blind flipped over {K-Hearts}{10-Clubs} for the straight, and Matros and the other player mucked. Matros has chipped up a little from the starting stack to this point, presently sitting with about 24,000.

Things haven't gone quite as well thus far for Brikis today, although he did have a decent run in an earlier event here at WSOP-C Harrah's Resort Atlantic City, having final tabled Event #6 where he finished sixth.

Alan Culter won that event. He's here, too, and has about 30,000 as we near the end of Level 4. Here are the results from Event #6:
