Sanders Hits River To Chip Up

Level 2 : 200/300, 300 ante

Scott Sanders raised it up from early position to 700 and the player to his left called from middle position. The flop came {j-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{6-Spades} and Sanders fired a continuation-bet of 1,200. His opponent put in 2,000 and announced a raise. After both Sanders and the dealer confirmed what he said, he was forced to put in a minimum raise of 2,400, which Sanders matched.

The turn came {4-Spades} and Sanders checked. His opponent bet 3,000 and Sanders made the call. The river fell {a-Spades} and both players checked.

Upon checking behind, Sanders' opponent turned over {k-Spades}{j-Diamonds} for a pair of jacks. Sanders tabled {a-Clubs}{5-Clubs}, having filled up on one of his twelve pair or flush outs in order to make the best hand and take down the pot.

Jablonski Gets There

Level 2 : 200/300, 300 ante

A player in the big blind checked a {6-Spades}{10-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} board to Stan Jablonski in middle position, who bet 2,300. The big blind tossed in a 5k chip, then realized after that he forgot to say raise, forcing him to just call Jablonski's bet.

"Can I let him raise?" Jablonski said with a grin.

The {a-Hearts} fell on the river, and the big blind checked. Jablonski bet 5,000 and the big blind called, tabling {k-}{j-}. Jablonski turned over {q-Spades}{j-Diamonds} for a rivered straight, however, and took down the pot.

Lutes Bombs River

Level 2 : 200/300, 300 ante

On a board that read {q-Spades}{5-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{5-Clubs} the pot was about 20,000. Jeffrey Lutes decided to go big and bet 35,000 to put the big decision on his opponent Aki Pyysing who thought long and hard before eventually laying it down.

Lutes showed his unrequited quads with the {5-Diamonds}{5-Spades} but stacked a nice pot regardless to add to his early momentum.

Faecher's Kings Get Paid

Level 2 : 200/300, 300 ante

There was already a pot of 7,000 built up when three players checked through a {5-Spades}{q-Clubs}{4-Spades} flop to see the {5-Clubs} fall on the turn. Mohsin Virani bet 4,000, and after the cutoff folded, Barry Faecher, who made a deep run in last year's Main Event, eventually falling in 90th place, made the call on the button.

Virani checked the {3-Diamonds} river to Faecher, who bet 5,000. Virani tanked for a little over a minute before calling, only to muck after Faecher tabled {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts}.

The flop came {6-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} and both the small blind and Messmer checked. The cutoff made a continuation-bet of 1,200 and the small blind folded. Messmer called and the turn came {7-Clubs}. Both players checked and then checked again on the river {4-Diamonds}.

Messmer tabled {9-Clubs}{6-Clubs} for a pair of sixes and his opponent tapped the table and mucked as Messmer took down the pot and added to his stack.

Level 2 : 200/300, 300 ante

Paul Miller raised to 700 from the hijack and received calls from the player on the button, Kevin MacPhee in the small blind, and Bryan Piccioli in the big blind. The flop came {a-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} and action checked to the player on the button, who bet 1,000. MacPhee called and Piccioli and Miller folded.

Both remaining players checked the {k-Spades} turn.

The river was {9-Spades} and MacPhee bet 1,800 and received a call. He tabled {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} good for aces up with a queen kicker, earning the pot as his opponent mucked his hand.

Sayegh Finds River Bet Success

Level 2 : 200/300, 300 ante

Zaher Sayegh limped in from middle position, and Dan O'Brien raised to 1,600 next to act. William McMahon called in the hijack, as did Sayegh.

Sayegh checked a {5-Spades}{2-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} flop to O'Brien, who bet 1,500. Both McMahon and Sayegh called.

All three players checked the {j-Clubs} turn, and Sayegh announced a bet of 5,500 on the {7-Hearts} river. O'Brien instantly folded, and McMahon followed suit a few seconds later.

Hamby took a few moments before three-betting to 20,000, with his opponent quickly calling. Hamby found himself on the winning end of a nut flush versus second-nut flush situation, taking down the pot with {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs} against the opponent's {k-Clubs}{4-Clubs}.

"Can't Beat You!"

Jack Sinclair
Jack Sinclair

A player in the small blind bet 3,500 into a similarly sized pot on a {9-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{8-Spades} board, and Jack Sinclair raised to 12,000 from early position. The small blind quickly called, and Sinclair tabled {q-Spades}{10-Clubs} for a queen-high straight.

"Can't beat you!" the small blind said, frustratedly flinging his {10-}{6-} up on the felt for a defeated jack-high straight.
