Izadi Run Down

Level 5 : 200/300, 300 ante

There was about 15,000 in the middle on the river and two players checked to the button. The player there bet 6,200 with {4-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{7-Clubs} in the middle. One player folded and Hamid Izadi seemed distressed in the hijack. He called eventually but was shown {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs} for a flush.

Izadi flashed a set of fours before mucking.

Kloepper Doesn't Budge

Level 4 : 100/200, 200 ante

Dan Kloepper bet 2,500 from under the gun on a board of {8-Clubs}{2-Spades}{4-Clubs}{7-Hearts}. A player on the button made it 8,000 and the big blind folded. Kloepper stuck around for the {k-Hearts} river and each player checked.

Kloepper showed {j-Hearts}{8-Hearts} and his opponent leaned way over to confirm the hand then flashed {j-Clubs}{2-Clubs}.

"Put a jack out there," Kloepper said.

"Didn't want the jack, I wanted the flush," his opponent responded.

Level 3 : 100/200, 200 ante
Tim Vance
Tim Vance

Tim Vance checked in middle position on {q-Spades}{10-Clubs}{8-Clubs} in what looked to be a three-bet pot with 4,500 in the middle. His opponent bet 2,000 and Vance made it 6,000. His opponent called, bringing a {6-Spades}. Vance bet 6,000 and was called once more for a {7-Spades} river. Vance bet 10,000 and his opponent sighed and cross his arms before ultimately folding.

Vance said it was a good fold but dragged the pot without showing.

Players are on break for 15 minutes.
