Ahead, Behind, Even

Level 26 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Three players — Mark Handy (early position), Larry Gurney (hijack), and Jeremiah Fitzpatrick (cutoff) — saw a {8-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} flop, and when Handy checked, Gurney pushed all in for about 320,000 and Fitzpatrick called behind him. Handy then sat with a perplexed look for about a half-minute, then finally let his hand go.

Gurney: {K-Hearts}{10-Hearts}
Fitzpatrick: {J-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}

Gurney had a flush draw plus a gutshot, while Fitzpatrick had already made a straight.

The turn then brought the {J-Spades}, giving Gurney a higher king-high straight.

Then the river brought the {K-Spades}, and after each player had enjoyed the lead during the hand, it had ended in a chop between the two.

Raymond Weaver raised to 50,000 out of the small blind, and Larry Gurney called in the big blind. The flop fell {7-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}, and Weaver led out for 30,000. Gurney tanked for a bit before firing out four olive T25,000 chips, raising to 100,000, and Weaver moved all in for nearly one million chips.

There was a beat, and then Gurney folded.

Big River Bet From Weinman

Level 26 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Todd Osborne opened to 57,000 in middle position, Daniel Weinstein three-bet to 103,000 on his direct left, and Jerry Monroe cold-called on the button. The action folded back to Osborne, who flicked his cards in the muck, and the dealer fanned {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}. Both players checked.

The turn was a repeat six - the {6-Diamonds} - and the pair checked again. The river was the {7-Hearts}, and Weinman reached for a rainbow assortment of chips, firing 328,000. Monroe checked his cards one last time, then tossed them into the center of the table.

Level 26 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
James Steen - 16th Place
James Steen - 16th Place

Milan Dragic opened for 50,000 from middle position and it folded to Hugh Henderson who called the raise from the cutoff seat. The action moved over to James Steen in the small blind who reraised all in for 277,000 total.

Dragic let his hand go, and after thinking a beat Henderson said "Okay... I'll call."

Steen had {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} while Henderson held {3-Spades}{3-Clubs}. The flop came {K-Hearts}{10-Spades}{10-Clubs}, then the {J-Diamonds} turn improved Steen's hand to a straight. But alas for Steen, the river brought the {10-Diamonds} to give Henderson a full house and knock Steen out in 16th.

Scott Naylor - 17th Place

Jonathan Moseley opened to 35,000 in middle position, Scott Taylor three-bet jammed for 209,000 from the blinds, and the action was back on Moseley, who tank-called.

Moseley: {q-Spades}{10-Spades}
Naylor: {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}

The dealer fanned {10-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{3-Spades}, which gave Moseley a leading pair of tens, and the {2-Spades} on the turn took away two of Naylor's outs. The river was an ace, but the {a-Spades} gave Moseley a spade flush, and eliminated Naylor in 17th place.
