Kim is Smokin'

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

Action picked up on the turn on a board reading {5-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{q-Hearts}{8-Hearts} in a three-way pot with about 2,000 in the middle.

Stephen Kim, first to act, bet 5,300, which was met with an all-in shove for 19,200 from the player in the next seat over. The player on the button and Kim both made the call.

Kim then went all in after the dealer laid the {7-Hearts} on the river, which got the button-player to muck {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds} face-up, and the two remaining players tabled their hands.

Stephen Kim: {k-Hearts}{j-Hearts}
All-in Player: {q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}

It had been a monster flop for all three players, but only one was good on the river, with Kim's flush taking the pot. After he eliminated the player and scooped the pot Kim said, "I can go smoke now."

Sometimes You Just Know

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

The player first to act bet out 2,500 and was called by the player in middle position and Nilesh Choudhary in the next seat over. All three players then checked the {a-Clubs} river and the early-position player announced "Two pair," which got a fold from the middle-position player, but Choudhary tabled {9-Spades}{4-Spades} for the turned flush and scooped the pot.

Choudhary and his tablemates then made it known that he had three-bet preflop with the {9-Spades}{4-Spades}.

Gay Takes a Small Pot Early

Level 1 : 100/100, 0 ante

The under-the-gun player raised it to 300 and was called by a middle-position player and Andrew Gay from his big blind.

After Gay checked the {4-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{q-Hearts} flop, the original raiser continued for 500, which got a fold from the player in middle position and a check-call from Gay. On the {j-Hearts} turn, Gay then led out for 1,000, which was enough to take down the pot and add a little more to his growing chipstack.
