It Was the Best of Times

Level 6 : 200/400, 0 ante

Before the level changed, Micah Raskin opened to 750 in the cutoff, Chris Brammer called in the small blind, and Matt O'Donnell defended his big blind. The flop fell {7-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}, both Brammer and O'Donnell checked, and Raskin continued for 1,500. Only O'Donnell called.

The turn was the {8-Hearts}, O'Donnell checked again, and Raskin fired out 3,000. O'Donnell check-raised to what looked like 10,000 or so, prompting Raskin to fold.

"Now's the best time to show a bluff," Raskin told him.

O'Donnell, who had mucked his cards, reached for one that was retrievable, sweated it, and flipped over the {5-Diamonds} with a grin on his face.

Top Two for Lindgren

Level 6 : 200/400, 0 ante

Three players, including Matt Marafioti and Erick Lindgren took a flop of {6-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{6-Spades}. All three checked.

The turn was the {j-Diamonds}, and the action checked to Lindgren, who fired out 1,100. Marafioti folded, and the third player called.

The {a-Diamonds} completed the board, the player checked again, and Lindgren tossed out 2,800. The player tanked for quite some time, then made the call. Lindgren flipped over {a-Hearts}{j-Clubs} for aces and jacks, earning him the pot.

"Sure Looked Like a Set"

Level 5 : 150/300, 0 ante

When we arrived at Table 364, Ted Lawson and Andrey Zaichenko were heads up on a board of {6-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{9-Clubs}. Lawson checked, Zaichenko fired out 7,250 into a pot of around 10,000, and Lawson called.

The river was the {k-Spades}, Lawson checked again, and Zaichenko moved all in for 14,725. After moving all of his chips in the middle, the Russian turned his attention to his iPad. Zaichenko is notorious for grinding on his iPad while grinding at the table, and for the next four minutes he was slashing away, clicking through various pages including Facebook and, of course, PokerNews.com.

While Zaichenko was busy trying to consume all that the internet has to offer, Lawson was deep in thought. He cut out enough chips to make the call, pushed them back into his stack, and then grabbed them once more. Holding them above the felt, he looked at the board, then at Zaichenko, then back at the board.

Finally, John Eames called the clock on Lawson, and the floor was summoned. With about 15 seconds left in his time bank, Lawsone dropped the chips onto the felt.

"Set's good," he blurted, flinging {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds} face up into the middle of the table.

Zaichenko frowned, told Lawson that he was good, and mucked his hand before packing up his bag and leaving.

"Wow!" Lawson exclaimed when Zaichenko mucked. "Wow! Sure looked like a set."

Lawson now sits with around 75,000 chips, and appears to be one of our chip leaders.
