Berry Stacks Whittington

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

The player under the gun raised to 2,500, Blake Whittington was next to act and jammed for 17,300, and Will Berry shoved over the top from the cutoff with a covering stack. After a bit of time in the tank, the original raiser folded and the two live players tabled their hands.

Blake Whittington: {A-Diamonds}{K-}
Will Berry: {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}

Berry had the preflop edge in the race and Whittington needed help from the deck to double up. The board ran out {Q-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} and Berry took the pot with queens full to eliminate Whittington.

Deeb Loses Some

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Three hands were face-up before the flop when we got to the table. Shaun Deeb was in middle position and had both of his opponents covered; one was in the big blind with a stack of 22,700 and the other was in the cutoff with a much shorter stack.

Shaun Deeb: {A-Spades}{8-Spades}
Big blind: {Q-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}
Cutoff: {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}

Deeb had the preflop edge and both of his opponents needed to improve in order to survive. While Deeb retained his lead on the {5-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{2-Spades} flop, the {Q-Hearts} on the turn put the big blind squarely ahead. The {J-Clubs} on the river changed nothing and the big blind took the pot.

Smith Check-Raises His Way to a Win

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

The cutoff opened to 2,600 and Stephen Smith called from the big blind. The dealer turned over a {5-Spades}{5-Clubs}{j-Spades} flop and Smith check-called a bet of 1,200 from his opponent.

The {q-Spades} hit the turn, Smith checked again and his opponent bet 2,500. Smith check-raised all in for around 20,000 and enough to cover his opponent.

His opponent took several moment and decided to throw his cards in the muck. Smith announced,"I had Trips" trips as he raked in the pot.
