"Bakes" Has Some Work To Do

Level 6 : 100/200, 25 ante

A player raised all in to 1,250 from under the gun with {9-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}. Action folded to David "Bakes" Baker in the small blind who made the call with more holding {7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}. Enter the flop in the lead, Baker was not happy to see {k-Spades}{4-Clubs}{9-Clubs} pairing his opponent's one over card. The {2-Clubs} turn and {a-Diamonds} river did not help Baker and he doubled his opponent leaving with him with just 9 big blinds.

Wade Check Raises the Turn

Level 6 : 100/200, 25 ante

Tristan Wade opened to 425 from the cut off but would play the hand out of position as the only caller was seated right next to him on the button. Wade made a 400 continuation bet on {4-Spades}{2-Spades}{A-Diamonds} and received an immediate call. The action on the turn took more time as Wade checked the {8-Hearts}. The player on the button made it 700 and Wade check-raised to 1,800. The call was again almost instant and the dealer put out the {5-Diamonds} as the river. Wade glanced at his stack and he looked ready to shove. In the end he changed his mind though, and checked. The button instantly announced all in and had Wade covered. Wade thought about it for a minute before eventually folding.

Young's Top Pair Top Kicker No Good

Level 5 : 100/200, 0 ante

On a {4-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{3-Hearts} flop we saw Justin Young bet out 800 from the big blind. His first opponent shoved for 3,250 and two other players folded. Young made the call but would soon find out his {A-Diamonds}{8-Spades} was behind. His opponent showed {10-Spades}{10-Clubs} and would hold with the {2-Diamonds} on the turn and {3-Clubs} on the river. Justin Young is down to about 6,000.

Demidov Done

Level 5 : 100/200, 0 ante
Ivan Demidov
Ivan Demidov

The player in the hijack position opened to 500 and called as Ivan Demidov made it 1,100 from the big blind. The flop came {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{J-Hearts} and Demidov bet 1,000 with just about 1,200 behind. His opponent waited for a few seconds, and than put all his chips in the middle. Demidov reluctantly called and showed his {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}. His opponent waited for a couple of seconds, leaned over and eventually showed his {A-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}. Demidov was in trouble and would soon be out after the {5-Hearts} on the turn and {5-Clubs} on the river.

Gathy In the Drivers Seat

Level 5 : 100/200, 0 ante

Beth Shak opened the action with a raise under-the-gun plus one to 500. She got one caller before the player on the button moved all in for 925. Bracelet winner Michael Gathy in the big blind also moved all in, for 2,850. Shak seemingly had a hard decision as she took her time and talked to herself the entire time. "Wow!" she said, "Oh my God!" talking about the action in front of her. "Part of me wants to call because I've got someone coming out tonight" she later said. She didn't listen to that part though as she eventually folded. the caller folded as well, so Gathy was heads up against the player on the button.

Gathy showd {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} and was well in front of the {10-Spades}{K-Spades} of the button. Shak started moaning for some reason and it increased as the {2-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{J-Diamonds} | {6-Clubs} | {4-Spades} boar developed. "I knew I should have called, I had pocket tens" said Shak to no one in particular. Jennifer Shahade was friendly enough to nod.
