Hand #28: Diamonds for Merson

Level 34 : 150,000/300,000, 40,000 ante

Andras Koroknai had the button. Greg Merson opened to 700,000 from middle position, Michael Esposito called out of the small blind, and the flop was {j-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{7-Hearts}. Both players checked.

The turn was the {2-Diamonds}, and Esposito led for 800,000. Merson called. The {q-Diamonds} completed the board, and Esposito led again - this time for 1.25 million. Merson tanked for 30 seconds or so, then raised to 3.7 million. Esposito immediately called.

Merson tabled {10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}, Esposito mucked, and Merson raked in the pot.

Hand #29: Awesome Ausmus

Level 35 : 200,000/400,000, 50,000 ante

Michael Esposito had the button to start this hand. Jeremy Ausmus raised to 800,000 from under the gun, and action folded to Jake Balsiger called from the big blind.

On the {10-Spades}{6-Hearts}{5-Spades} flop, Balsiger checked, and Ausmus bet an even one million. Balsiger called.

The turn was the {2-Spades}, and Balsiger checked. Ausmus also checked.

The {A-Clubs} landed on the river, and Balsiger checked. Ausmus fired two million. Balsiger took a few moments, then gave it up, and Ausmus won the pot.
