Harkin Takes Two in Draw

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 1,300 ante

NL Five-Card Draw

Ryan Hughes opened for 10,000 on the button and Ray Henson called. Jeremy Harkin made it 50,000 in the big blind. Hughes tanked awhile then smiled and said something about not knowing the game.

"Unsolved games are fun," Henson said.

They conceded the pot to Harkin.

The next hand, Hughes again opened for 10,000 and got action from Henson and Harkin. Everyone drew two and then checked around, with Harkin opening trip kings for the win.

Lisandro Leads Turn and River

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 1,300 ante

No-Limit Hold'em

Jeff Lisandro defended big blind from a 7,000 cutoff open by Dario Sammartino and check-called an identical bet on {8-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}. The {9-Clubs} had Lisandro leading out for 12,000 and Sammartino called. Lisandro barreled again for 22,000 on the {3-Clubs} river, and that convinced Sammartino to muck without much delay.

Sammartino's Big Slick Holds

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 1,300 ante

No-Limit Hold'em

Dario Sammartino was under the gun, betting 10,000 into the pot on the {6-Clubs}{A-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} flop. Big blind Warwick Mirzikinian check-raised to 30,000 and Sammartino shoved for 89,000. Mirzikinian snapped him off and Sammartino's face indicated troubles.

But he was in a better position than he initially thought as his {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} was ahead of Mirzikinian's {K-Clubs}{7-Clubs}.

Sammartino still had to fade clubs on two streets to score the double and he did so on the {8-Hearts} turn and {2-Hearts} river.
