Nate Silver

Nate Silver raised from the hijack and was three-bet by the player on his left. The action folded back to Silver who called. The flop came {10-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} and Silver check-called a bet from his opponent.

The {q-Spades} landed on the turn and Silver led out with a bet. His opponent just called and the {10-Spades} paired the board on the river. Silver checked this time and then called when his opponent bet. Silver was up against {a-Spades}{k-Spades} but was able to turn a pair with {q-Clubs}{j-Spades} to take down the pot.

Thorpe Takes One

Level 5 : 600/1,200, 0 ante
Mike Thorpe
Mike Thorpe

Action picked up on the river on a board of {9-Spades}{j-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{5-Hearts}.

The first player to act Eric Kurtzman fired out a river bet. Kyle Kitagawa and Mike "Crazy Mike" Thorpe both called.

"Can I show first?" Thorpe said and immediately flipped over {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts} for a set of aces.

Kurtzman showed {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades} and Kitagawa showed {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}, which were both inferior, so Thorpe took the pot.

Henson Makes Kings Up...Or a Flush

Level 4 : 500/1,000, 0 ante
Ray Henson
Ray Henson

Ray Henson raised it up in early position and was only called by Mike Thorpe in the big blind. While the two players argued which fast-food chicken place was the best in town, there was also some poker to be played.

The dealer spread the flop of {j-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} and Thorpe check-called a bet from Henson. The turn was the {8-Diamonds} and the action was the same to the {k-Hearts} river.

Thorpe checked once more and Henson still bet. Thorpe called and Henson turned over {k-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}. "King's up. Can you beat it?" Henson said sarcastically as he actually turned a flush to win the hand.

Kitagawa led out again and Martini just called this time. The {8-Clubs} paired the board on the river and Kitagawa bet again. Martini called and Kitagawa showed {a-Spades}{a-Clubs} for aces full.
