Level 3 : 400/800, 0 ante
Jeremy Ausmus
Jeremy Ausmus

It was a rough start for Jeremy Ausmus who just bought into the tournament at the start of the level but he just won a healthy pot to get back to nearly a starting stack. Ausmus opened from middle position and was called by the button and Eric Kurtzman in the big blind.

The flop came {k-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{6-Clubs} and Kurtzman led out from the big blind. Ausmus raised and the button re-raised. Both Kurtzman and Ausmus called.

The turn was the {6-Spades} and the action checked around to the {q-Diamonds} on the river. Kurtzman led out again and Ausmus threw in a raise. The button folded and Kurtzman re-raised. Ausmus thought for a moment before making the call. Kurtzman tabled {k-Clubs}{q-Spades} for two pair but Ausmus held {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs} for a rivered straight.
