Blain Straight Gets There Versus 'Four Pair'

Level 3 : 200/300, 300 ante
Dermot Blain
Dermot Blain

On a flop of {9-Spades}{8-Clubs}{2-Hearts}, Dermot Blain's opponent fired all in for 17,200 out of position. Blain, on the button, called and a player in the blinds folded their option.

Dermot Blain: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{2-Spades}
Opponent: {8-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{j-}

Blain had a gut shot and an overpair versus two pair and an open ended straight draw. Blain, who was covered by 500 chips was the at risk player and on the {10-Hearts} turn, his opponent picked up a better two pair.

However, on the {j-Hearts} river Blain got there with a straight to trump his opponents hand. His opponent, jokingly said ''I had three pair, no wait, four pair!'', with bemusement as Blain raked in the double up.

Gaddis Respect Him

Level 3 : 200/300, 300 ante

Grady Gaddis had bet 15,000, most of his chips, on a board of {k-Spades}{3-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{j-Clubs} with 35,000 chips already in the pot. Gaddis was out of position versus his opponent and after not too long his opponent made the call and cards were on their backs.

Grady Gaddis: {q-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}
Opponent: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{8-Clubs}

Unfortunately for Gaddis' opponent, the case eight was flopped to give him a set, but Gaddis caught up with a rivered flush.

Gaddis moves among the early chip leaders.

Un-Liu-cky As Beamer Doubles Up

Level 4 : 200/400, 400 ante
Sasha Liu
Sasha Liu

Sasha Liu, known as 'PokerSasha' was involved in a pot with Mark Beamer. She had opened from early position and had been called by the hijack before Beamer completed from the big blind.

Three of them went to a flop of {5-Spades}{j-Clubs}{q-Hearts} and Liu continued for 3,500 when checked to. The hijack got out of the way and Beamer raised to 13,000. Liu made the call.

On a {k-Spades} turn, with just 10,500 behind on Beamer's stack, Liu moved all in and Beamer swiftly called.

Mark Beamer: {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}
Sasha Liu: {q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}

Liu had outs versus the set of jacks of Beamer, but a {6-Hearts} river meant she didn't improve with her two pair and open ender, doubling Beamer up.

Gonzalez Sailing Back Above Starting Stack On His Boat, Forcing Tafesh Out

Level 5 : 300/500, 500 ante
Alexander Tafesh
Alexander Tafesh

After Alexander Tafesh raised to 3,000 from the cutoff versus an under-the-gun limp, the small blind, Jose Gonzalez called. The under-the-gun player called too and they were three ways to a flop.

{4-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{8-Hearts} fell and Gonzalez lead for pot in the small blind, 10,500. It folded to Tafesh who made the call.

The {4-Clubs} on the turn came in and Gonzalez jammed his last 5,500 into the pot.

''That's the worst card in the deck for me I fold on...a four or an ace. Anything else I call'', said Tafesh.

Tafesh mucked his holding and Gonzalez kindly showed him {a-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{q-Clubs} for a full house.
