2005 WSOP Main Event runner-up Steve Dannenmann opened with a raise from late position to 800 before the player in the cutoff position reraised to 2,000. Dannenmann made the call.

They took a flop of {5-Spades}

and Dannenmann moved his last 2,575 into the middle, but his opponent quickly called tabling {A-Spades}

. Dannenmann showed {A-Clubs}

for the nut flush draw and gutshot straight draw.

The turn was the {2-Diamonds}

and both players made a straight, leaving Dannenmann freerolling with his flush draw.

The river completed his flush with the {6-Clubs}

Shane Schleger raised it up preflop and the big blind was the lone caller. They took a flop of {K-?}

and the big blind moved all in for 1,550 in total.

Schleger thought for a few moments but decided he was getting the right price to make the call with his pocket tens. It proved to be a good call as his opponent held {Q-?}

for just a straight draw.

Seif Calls and Chops

[user67765]

Mark Seif must've had a read after calling strong bets from an opponent on a board of {9-Spades}

fell on the river both players slowed and checked it down.

Seif showed his hand thinking it was good, but his opponent flipped over {K-Spades}

for the same hand! Chop it up!

Gavin Gone

[user67765]

Mike Matusow recalled the hand to us regarding Gavin Smith's recent elimination from today's tournament.

An opponent had raised from middle position and Smith called out of the blinds. They saw a king-high flop and Smith check-raised all in holding K-J, but ran into the A-K of his opponent.

Matusow also provided some added commentary that Smith had played the hand badly, calling with such a hand out of position, and then pushing with his short stack when he had no fold equity.

It looks like Matusow wins that last-longer wager, as Smith heads back to the hotel.
