Owen Picked Off

Level 7 : 250/500, 0 ante

On the river of the {J-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{7-Hearts} board, a player in the small blind checked to Adam Owen who was in the big. Owen blasted 11,200 into about 13,000 and the small blind called.

"King high," Owen said, rolling over his busted {K-Spades}{10-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{5-} while the other player showed {A-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{4-Spades} for two pair.

Turner Slips

Level 6 : 200/400, 0 ante

With 6,000 chips in the pot and the board reading {9-Spades}{8-Hearts}{3-Spades}, the player in the big blind bet the pot and Jon Turner raised from the hijack, putting his opponent to a decision for his stack. After a few moments of consideration, he called to put himself at risk and the two players tabled their hands.

Jon Turner: {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
Big blind: {A-Spades}{A-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{5-Hearts}

Turner had flopped a queen-high flush draw and a gutshot in addition to his overpair but found himself trailing his opponent's aces. The {6-Hearts} on the turn was no help to either player, the {8-Clubs} river gave the big blind trip eights, and he took the pot to double through Turner.

Zinno Sends One Out

Level 6 : 200/400, 0 ante

There were 7,000 chips in the pot and the {J-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} flop was out when we got to the table. Anthony Zinno had already committed a T$5,000 chip to the pot from the small blind, the big blind shoved for about 10,000, and Zinno called to put his opponent at risk.

Anthony Zinno: {K-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{6-Diamonds}
Big blind: {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{9-Spades}

Zinno found himself trailing his opponent's aces and needed to improve to win. The {6-Spades} on the turn gave Zinno the lead with two pair and the {4-Clubs} river was no help to either player, so Zinno took the pot to stack his opponent.

Helppi's Kings Prevail

Level 6 : 200/400, 0 ante

Juha Helppi (as seen in a previous event)

James Chen and Juha Helppi put in 3,700 each preflop in a sequence that looked like a button-raise from Chen and a three-bet from Helppi out of the small blind.

They went to the {6-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} flop where Helppi potted and Chen put him all in for an effective 13,450. Helppi called.

Helppi: {K-Spades}{K-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{2-Spades}
Chen: {J-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{10-Spades}{9-Hearts}

Helppi was miles ahead but Chen had a gutshot and some backdoors. The {7-Spades} turn and {7-Diamonds} river bricked out for Chen and Helppi secured the double, finishing with a full house.

Simao Fires Twice

Level 6 : 200/400, 0 ante

With 2,700 chips in the pot and the board reading {9-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}, Joao Simao bet 2,200 from the small blind into his lone opponent in the hijack. He called.

The {4-Spades} hit the river and Simao bet again, 4,700 this time. The hijack folded and Simao took the pot.

Wigg Rivers a Straight

Level 6 : 200/400, 0 ante

On a turn of {J-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{A-Clubs}, Gordon Vayo fired 2,500 in the big blind and Anton Wigg called on the button while a player in the small blind escaped.

The river was the {10-Spades} and Vayo opted for a check. Wigg tossed in 4,500 and Vayo threw a 5,000-denomination chip his way, expecting to see bad news. His instinct was right as Wigg opened {Q-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{7-Spades} for the nut straight.

With 3,200 chips in the pot and the board reading {Q-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{6-Hearts}, David "ODB" Baker checked from the big blind, the next player to act bet 2,000, and Ismael Bojang shoved from the button for 8,950. Baker folded and Bojang's remaining opponent went into the tank.

"Just black aces?" Bojang asked.

"Pretty much," his opponent replied shortly before he tossed his cards into the muck and Bojang took the pot.
