Level 25 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Travis Pearson
Travis Pearson

Travis Pearson opened the cutoff to 125,000 and David Prociak called from the button. Joshua Stefansky three-bet to 625,000 from the small blind and Pearson called. Prociak asked for a count on Stefnasky and called as well.

The flop came {10-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} and Stefansky took his time checking. Pearson shoved for 820,000 and Prociak thought a while before calling. Stefansky got out of the way and Pearson was at risk.

Travis Pearson: {j-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{10-Spades}
David Prociak: {9-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{q-Spades}{q-Hearts}

Pearson had flopped a jack-high straight, while Prociak held two pair. The turn {7-Diamonds} put Prociak ahead with a full house, sevens full of nines, and the river {6-Hearts} was no help to Pearson.

"Not my finest moment," said Prociak as Pearson walked away in shock.

Williams Bluffs And Shows

Level 24 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

David Williams opened to 100,000 in the hijack and in the small blind, Davis Aalvik three-bet to 380,000 which folded out all other players except Williams who called.

The flop of {9-Spades}{k-Spades}{9-Diamonds} checked through to the turn of {7-Clubs} that saw Aalvik check to Williams who bet 325,000.

Aalvik contemplated his decision for a good deal of time before flashing {a-Clubs}{a-Spades} going into the muck. Williams turned over his hand of {7-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{3-Clubs} for just a pair of sevens as he raked in the pot.
