Marcus Gets It in Bad but the Outcome is Good

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante

After a series of preflop raises Daniel Marcus was all in.

Daniel Marcus: {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}
Opponent: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}

Marcus was behind preflop, and the {q-Spades}{k-Hearts}{9-Clubs} wasn't a good one for him, but it did give him four outs to the gutshot straight. The {10-Spades} turn was one of those outs, but he still needed to avoid the board pairing on river. The dealer fanned the {3-Spades}, which completed Marcus' double-up.

Afriat Defends His Blind

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante

Wilson Wins One

Level 6 : 300/500, 500 ante

The under-the-gun player raised it 2,000 and was called by the player in the cutoff and Taylor Wilson on the button. On the {9-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{9-Spades} flop the under-gun-player continued for 2,000. The cutoff-player three-bet to 4,800, Wilson made the call and the original raiser folded.

After the cutoff-player checked the {6-Diamonds} turn, Wilson put out a bet of 5,800. His opponent tanked, made the call and then checked again on the {6-Spades} river. At that point Wilson moved all in, which sent the cutoff-player into the tank once again. He asked for a count, made the call after the dealer confirmed 16,700 total and then threw his cards towards the muck after Wilson tabled {a-Diamonds}{9-} for the full house.
