Prescott Pushing

Level 5 : 100/200, 25 ante

Allie Prescott made it 600 to go from middle position. It folded around to the player in the cutoff who tossed out a three-bet to 1,400. Action came back to Prescott who called.

The duo took in a flop that read {Q-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{6-Spades}. Prescott checked and his opponent pushed out a c-bet of 1,600. Prescott dipped into his stack and came out with a check-raise to 4,400. The player in the cutoff went into the tank before finally folding. Prescott was pushed the pot and now has about 37,000 in chips.

Set Over Set Cripples Israelashvili

Level 5 : 100/200, 25 ante

We caught up to the table to see a board of {3-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{9-Hearts} sitting on the felt. After a series of bets and raises, Matthew Weber was all in for his last 13,600 and was called by Roland Israelashvili.

Weber: {a-Clubs}{A-Hearts}
Israelashvili: {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}

Israelashvili had turned a set of nines but was no match for Weber's flopped set of aces. The river bricked out for Israelashvili with the {4-Spades} and Weber was able to score a key double to about 31,500. Israelashvili, on the other hand, was crippled to only 400 chips. He busted soon after.

Carlton Pushing

Level 4 : 100/200, 0 ante

Action folded around to the player on the button who made it 450 to go. Everett Carlton peeked at his cards in the big blind and then pushed out a three-bet to 1,225. His opponent on the button called and the two took in a flop.

The dealer fanned {10-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{2-Clubs} on the felt and Carlton continued for 925. His opponent came right over the top for 2,500, but that did not dissuade Carlton who paused briefly before making it 4,325 to go.

His opponent came right back over the top with a four-bet to 6,500 and Carlton flat called.

The board paired on the turn with the {2-Diamonds} and Carlton announced all in for what looked like 12,325. His opponent then took off his glasses, shook his head, and went into the tank.

Roughly one minute passed before Carlton's opponent released his cards. Carlton picked up the pot and is now sitting on about 29,000.

Garcia Clawing Back

Level 4 : 100/200, 0 ante

When we last checked on Cord Garcia his stack seemed to be dwindling. However, we recently found him in a hand where the board read {K-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{J-Spades}. Garcia called a bet and went to the river where the {J-Diamonds} fell. Garcia fired 4,200 and was called by his opponent.

Garcia rolled over {A-Hearts}{j-Clubs} for quad jacks and was able to scoop a pot that boosts him closer back to starting stack. He's now sitting on 18,000.

Baumstein Runs Into Bullets

Level 3 : 75/150, 0 ante

The flop read {8-Clubs}{2-Spades}{7-Clubs} when Scott Baumstein came out firing with a bet of 525. His opponent made it 1,300 from the button and Baumstein stuck around. Fourth street saw the {K-Hearts} fall and Baumstein check-called 1,500 chips. The river was the {2-Clubs} and the action went check-check.

Baumstein's opponent showed {A-Clubs}{A-Hearts} and Baumstein threw his hand away. He watched as the pot was pushed to his opponent. His stack is now down to about 15,500.
