For others the heating has been turned off for the day.

Level 4 : 75/150, 0 ante

Hand #1

Jimmy Fricke was facing off an under-the-gun raiser on a flop of {2-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{q-Spades} and called a bet of 650. The turn was the {9-Clubs} and both players checked. The river was the {8-Clubs} and when his opponent checked Fricke bet 1,200.

His opponent shuffled his cards and went through the range of hands that Fricke could have that beat him and asked, “Will you show if I fold?”

“I never do.” Fricke said

Hand #2

Heinz Kamutzki was all in on the turn on a board reading {j-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{6-Clubs}. He had his opponent well covered. His opponent told him he put him on a six and mucked his hand.

Hand #3

Jennifer Tilly had reached the river of a board reading {8-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{6-Spades}. It was checked to her and Tilly bet 2,500. After a brief pause Tilly got a call and turned over {10-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} for a straight. “River.” muttered her opponent handing over the chips.

Hand #4

Mickey Petersen has just joined the fray. He took the option to post his big blind, but folded to a raise.
