On a board reading {6-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{2-Hearts} with the blinds in the middle and 5,500 in front of both players, Tim Marsters had bet 11,000 from the cutoff. Action was back on his opponent in the hijack and after thinking for some time, tapped the table a couple times before tossing his hand the dealer's way as the pot was sent to Marsters.

Kessler Wins Despite Worst Possible River

Level 5 : 300/500, 0 ante

Action folded to Chris Vitch in the hijack who raised to 1,800. Allen Kessler was in the big blind and asked for confirmation of the bet size before tossing in chips to defend. The flop came {4-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{8-Spades} and both players checked. Kessler bet the pot, 3,900 on the {j-Clubs} turn. Vitch called.

Both players checked the {2-Hearts} river.

"Absolute worst possible river card," griped Kessler as he turned over {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}. He then tabled {a-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} to complete his hand, showing queens up with a missed nut-low draw.

"I'm sorry about your river, Allen," Vitch said calmly as he tossed his cards to the muck.

Lee To Six Figures

Level 5 : 300/500, 0 ante

Brad Lee opened the action with a raise to 1,200 from the cutoff. Chris Vitch was on the button and called, as did both players in the blinds. The flop came {j-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} and the players in the blinds checked to Lee, who made a continuation bet of 2,500. Vitch and the small blind folded and the big blind called, taking action heads up to a turn of {5-Spades}.

The big blind checked and Lee fired again for 6,000, prompting an immediate fold from his opponent.

On the next hand, Allen Kessler limped from under the gun. John Monnette limped behind him from middle position and Lee raised to 2,500. Kessler called and Monnette folded. The flop came {q-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} and Kessler check-folded to a continuation-bet of 2,000 from Lee.

Dias Scoops With Wheel

Level 4 : 200/400, 0 ante

There was around 2,600 in the pot on a board reading {3-Spades}{a-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} in a three-way pot between Alex Foxen in the small blind, Bernardo Dias in the big blind, and Kate Hoang on the button. Foxen fired on the turn for 2,400 and received two calls. The river came {7-Clubs} and Foxen fired again for 9,000. Dias thought for a few seconds and put in chips to call. Hoang thought for a few moments as well before following suit.

Foxen tabled his hand briefly but Dias showed {k-Hearts}{j-Spades}{4-Spades}{2-Hearts} for the wheel and Foxen quickly turned his cards over and mucked them. Hoang also mucked her hand and Dias took in the entire pot.
