Lehavot Flushed

Level 20 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Amir Lehavot
Amir Lehavot

Amir Lehavot jammed his stack in from early position for around 120,000, and Dustin Helmuth called on the button.

Amir Lehavot: {a-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}
Dustin Helmuth: {a-Spades}{4-Spades}

Helmuth was ahead but there was a good possibility the players would chop. That became less likely on the {8-Spades}{j-Clubs}{4-Hearts} flop. The {10-Spades} came on the turn to leave Lehavot drawing dead, and the {6-Spades} completed the board and gave his opponent a flush.

Cate Hall
Cate Hall

The under the gun player opened to 80,000, prompting the cutoff to three-bet to 200,000. Cate Hall went all in from the big blind for 390,000, only for the initial raiser to re-shove, which folded out the cutoff.

Cate Hall: {a-}{a-}
Under the gun: {q-}{q-}

The board ran out clean for Hall's aces, and she more than doubled her stack.

Cate Hall

A player in the cutoff jammed in his stack of around 200,000 and Cate Hall made the call in the big blind.

Cutoff: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Cate Hall: {a-Hearts}{9-Hearts}

The cutoff player was ahead but Hall jumped in front on the {9-Spades}{4-Spades}{5-Clubs} flop. The {8-Clubs} turn left the cutoff player looking for one of three outs which he did not find as the {j-Clubs} completed the board.

Joey Weissman
Joey Weissman

Joey Weissman raised preflop from the cutoff to 60,000 and received a call from the big blind.

The flop came {q-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}. The big blind checked, and Weissman made a continuation bet for 45,000, which the big blind called.

The turn came {8-Hearts} and the big blind checked again. Weissman bet 150,000, which the big blind called once again.

The river came the {q-Clubs} and the big blind checked after thinking for some time. Weissman checked back, and the hands were revealed. The big blind showed {a-Hearts}{7-Hearts} for two pair with an ace kicker, but Weissman turned over {j-Clubs}{10-Spades} for the flopped straight.

Weissman's stack nears the one million chip mark.
