Fisher Quarters Baker

Level 24 : 20,000/40,000, 0 ante

Assani Fisher made it 140,000 on the button and called a repot for most of his chips by big blind David Baker. The last 200,000 or so went in on the {6-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} flop.

Assani Fisher: {a-Clubs}{7-Spades}{10-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
David Baker: {a-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{k-Spades}{10-Spades}

The turn was the {7-Hearts} and the river the {5-Diamonds}. Both played a live ace for low but Fisher had the superior pair to take the high.

Fisher Quarters Wang

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 0 ante

Yong Wang and Assani Fisher got stacks in on an {8-Spades}{10-Clubs}{5-Clubs} flop with Wang holding {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{2-Clubs} for all the nut draws. Fisher had {a-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} for an identical nut low draw. Both hit it on the {4-Diamonds} river after the {10-Hearts} turn, but Fisher had ace-king high for the better unpaired hand to take three-quarters.

As Fisher had 530,000, Wang sent over 265,000.

Galfond Doubles Through Fisher

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 0 ante

Phil Galfond three-bet from the small blind to about 240,000 and Assani Fisher called from the button. Galfond stuffed on the {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{k-Spades} flop and Fisher quickly called. Galfond did not look happy to show down {a-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{3-Hearts}{4-Hearts} and he was behind against {a-Spades}{q-Spades}{3-Spades}{8-Clubs}. However, a {q-Diamonds} turn gave Galfond a straight and he dodged the boat on the {7-Hearts} river.

Fisher sent over 480,000 total.

Jason Gooch raised in the cutoff and Chase Steely isolated him with a reraise on the button. Gooch got it in there with {a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{2-Spades} and Steely had {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}. The {10-Spades}{k-Hearts}{10-Clubs} flop didn't give Gooch much reason for optimism and he headed for payouts after the {10-Diamonds} turn left him drawing dead.
