Boylan Finds a Flush

Level 3 : 100/200, 200 ante

Mike Ruter put out a bet for 3,700 from the small blind on the river, with the board showing {q-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{2-Clubs}.

Cezer Boylan, from the hijack, didn't take too long to make the call, turning over {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts} against Ruter's {9-Spades}{7-Spades}. The pot puts Biylan back to around starting stack as the first break of Day 1a approaches.

McCarrel Doubles Up

Level 3 : 100/200, 200 ante

With about 20,000 already in the middle, Casey McCarrel went all in for his last 10,800 from the cutoff, with the board showing {10-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{8-Hearts}. His opponent, who checked into McCarrel from the hijack, went deep into the tank.

A call and a loss would eave the opponent with just 2,000 chips, but after a few moments the hijack indeed made that call. He wasn't pleased when McCarrel showed {q-Clubs}{8-Clubs}, giving him the better straight against the hijack's {10-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}.

With the big pot, McCarrel went up to 43,000 as Level 3 plays on.,

Top Pair Good for Bank

Level 2 : 100/100, 100 ante

Mitchell Bank opened from the hijack, Steve Sanzaro three-bet to 1,300 from the small blind, and Bank made the call.

Sanzaro checked on the {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} flop, Bank bet 1,400 and Sanzaro called. Both players then checked the {k-Clubs} turn.

The river came {8-Hearts}, both players checked again, and Bank showe down {k-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}, good enough to take the pot down against Sanzaro's {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}.

Awwad Five-Bet Jams, Wilmot Folds Ace-Queen

Level 2 : 100/100, 100 ante
Ryan Awwad
Ryan Awwad

Facing an open raise to 300 and a call, Ryan Awwad three-bet to 1,300 from the cutoff. Harley Wilmot four-bet to 7,000 in the big blind, getting folds from the original raiser and the first caller.

Awwad went all-in, to the frustration of Wilmot.

"Ace-queen," said Wilmot, and backed up that claim by tossing his hand face up in the muck. Awwad showed {k-Spades}{k-Hearts} as he took in the pot.
