The Kicker Goes to Sheaves

Level 3 : 100/200, 200 ante

Three players headed to a flop of {k-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{5-Spades} with around 1,500 in the middle. The big blind led out for 600 and only Warren Sheaves called from the hijack.

The turn was the {k-Hearts} and the big blind checked to Sheaves who tossed in a bet of 1,000. His opponent called and the {10-Spades} completed the board. Both players knuckled the table and the big blind showed {j-Hearts}{8-Hearts} for two pair. Sheaves held {a-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for the same two pair but his ace-kicker awarded him the pot.

Philip Gets Paid With Broadway

Level 2 : 100/100, 100 ante

Action was picked up on the turn of a board that read {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}. Simon Philip bet 11,500 and was called by William Meyer. The river was the {7-Diamonds}. Philip went all in for his remaining amount.

Meyer frowned and seemed to not like the situation but he did make the call only to see the bad news as Philip turned over the {k-Diamonds}{10-Spades} for flopped broadway. Meyer showed his defeated set with the {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds} as most of his stack was gone and his seat was empty a couple of hands later.

Whittinghill Exercises Caution

Level 2 : 100/100, 100 ante

There was a raise to 400 from under the gun and seven players headed to the flop. It was nearly a family pot with all but one player still alive in the hand. The flop came {k-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} and the action checked around to the {5-Clubs} on the turn.

The small blind led out for 500 and picked up three callers including Jeffrey Whittinghill on the button. The river was the {9-Clubs} and the action checked to Whittinghill who decided to check as well. Whittinghill turned over {q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} for a straight and the other three players mucked their cards.

"Never know if anyone might have ace-queen," Whittinghill said as he collected the pot.

Veach Gets Paid Off In Two Spots

Level 1 : 100/100, 0 ante

The action folded to John Veach on the button who made it 300 to go. Both Ralph Eagen and Daniel Yun called from the blinds. The flop fell {j-Spades}{8-Spades}{7-Diamonds} and Eagen led out for 800 from the small blind. Yun called and Veach came along as well.

The turn was the {6-Clubs} and the action checked to Veach who fired out a bet of 1,800. Both Eagen and Yun called to see the {q-Diamonds} on the river.

Both of the blinds checked again and Veach splashed in a bet of 4,100. Eagen called and Yun also flicked in a chip to call. Veach turned over {9-Clubs}{5-Clubs} for a straight and both of his opponents mucked their cards.
