Lucky Ladies for Johnson

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

With 6,000 in the pot and a board of {j-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{q-Spades} showing, California's Dave Johnson bet 1,300 from the cutoff and received a call from Stelen Stulberger on the button.

The {j-Spades} river had Johnson betting 4,200 and the button contemplated for a while before deciding to fold. Johnson showed {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs} for a set he hit on the turn that filled up on the river.

James Dempsey
James Dempsey

With 4,000 in the middle and {j-Hearts}{4-Spades}{4-Diamonds} fanned on the felt, James Dempsey was facing a 1,500 bet from the player in the small blind. Dempsey called to see the turn.

An {a-Spades} showed up and had the small blind firing out 2,000 which Dempsey called without hesitation.

The river was a {5-Spades} and the small blind opened once more with a bet of 2,000. Dempsey raised to 11,000 which the small blind called and flipped over {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs} for two pair, fours and jacks. Dempsey showed {q-Spades}{8-Spades} for a runner-runner flush which was more than good to take down the pot.

Poker Stallions in the Game

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

The Mattress Mack Poker Stallions is a Texas based group who has been seen around the WSOP playing in multiple events. Stephen Baze is one of the members and early into Level 3 he raised to 800 from the hijack and received two calls.

The board came down {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}{10-Spades} and the big blind checked to Baze who bet 1,100. The cutoff folded and the big blind decided to stick around to see the turn.

A {5-Clubs} hit and the big blind check-called Baze's 2,000 bet.

The {a-Diamonds} on the river slowed Baze down and had both players checking. Baze flipped over {q-Spades}{10-Spades} to show a flopped two pair that got counterfeited by the ace on the river but his hand still held to take down the pot as his opponent folded.

The {k-Diamonds} on the turn had both checking.

Top Pair Takes It

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

A preflop raise to 1,200 from Hardik Vyas in the cutoff received a call from the button and the flop came down {q-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{3-Spades}. Both players checked to see the turn.

The {a-Hearts} showed up and Vyas fired out 1,200 and received a call.

On the {3-Diamonds} river, Vyas continued on with a 2,500 bet which the button once again called. Vyas showed {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs} for top pair, king kicker and that was good as his opponent tossed his cards into the muck.
