Level 26 : 25,000/50,000, 0 ante

We see so many sets of headphones around the fields of poker tournaments, so we set out to discover what is under those earbuds.

Greenstein Gets Three Quarters

Level 26 : 25,000/50,000, 0 ante

Jarred Graham made it 100,000 on the button, and Barry Greenstein called from the small blind. The flop came down {9-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}, and Greenstein check called a bet of 150,000. Both players checked the {5-Hearts} on the turn, and the river was the {8-Diamonds}. Greenstein fired out 325,000, and Graham thought for only about 20 seconds before calling.

Graham showed {a-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{8-Spades}{4-Spades} for the second best low and a pair of eights. Greenstein showed {a-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{q-Spades} for the same low and a pair of queens for high, giving him 75% of the pot.

All in and a Chop for Johnson

Level 26 : 25,000/50,000, 0 ante

Marco Johnson bet pot from the small blind, and Jarred Graham moved all in. Johnson called.

Johnson: {j-Clubs}{6-Spades}{7-Hearts}{q-Hearts}
Graham: {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{3-Clubs}

The flop came down {4-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{8-Spades}, which gave Johnson the nut straight, and Graham an ace-three low. From this point, the only thing that could change would be Graham getting counterfeited for the low, but that didn't happen, as the board completed {10-Spades} and {6-Diamonds}. Chop Chop.

Graham Doubles Through Johnson in Massive Cooler

Level 26 : 25,000/50,000, 0 ante

After about 15 hands full of either walks, or simple raise and take the blinds, we just had a five minute hand that saw Jarred Graham score a huge double up. Here's ow it went down.

Jarred Graham raised to 80,000 from the button, and Marco Johnson called from the big blind. The flop came down {7-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}, and Johnson check called a bet of 120,000 from Graham. The turn brought the {a-Diamonds}, and both players checked. The fireworks were ready to go off when the {7-Hearts} hit the river.

Johnson thought for about 15 seconds before he announced pot, a bet of 420,000 total. It was on Graham, and he thought for about 30 seconds before he cut out the calling chips. Graham counted his chips out, grabbed them, then as it looked like he was going to just call, he announced "all in." Johnson immediately grimaced, and said "why didn't I just check?!" Johnson spent about three minutes in the tank, all the while speaking softly to himself, trying to figure out what Graham had. He said "it has to be the case something," meaning that he thought Graham had the last of the cards in the deck that could help him.

Eventually, he tossed in the call, and Graham showed: {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} for aces full and a five-two low. Johnson let out a big sigh, then showed what many assumed he had: {a-Spades}{7-Spades}{4-Clubs}{9-Hearts} for the third nuts.

Johnson shipped all the chips over to Graham, who is now our chip leader with 2.5 million, while Johnson is crippled to just 400,000.
