Kushner's Kings Hold

Level 1 : 100/200, 200 ante

Action was picked up with 1,700 in the pot and a flop of {7-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} on the table. The under-the-gun player led out for 1,100. Jeff Kushner, on the button, raised to 3,000 after a minute or so of thought. His opponent nonchalantly snap-called.

On the {5-Clubs} turn, the opponent checked to Kushner, who tossed in a bet of 5,000. The opponent snap-called again.

The {3-Spades} river was checked through. Kushner showed {k-Hearts}{k-} for an overpair, while his opponent showed {j-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}, good for top pair, but not enough for the pot, which went to Kushner.

Filatov Loses a Chunk

Level 1 : 100/200, 200 ante

On a board reading {5-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{a-Diamonds} Anatoly Filatov in late position was involved in a hand with a player in middle position. The middle position player checked and then called after Filatov bet 7,000 into a pot of around 8,500.

The {7-Spades} river saw the middle position player take over the betting lead, firing off 16,000. Filatov, after some consideration, made the call and was shown {a-Spades}{10-Spades} by his opponent for the rivered flush, a hand the Russian pro could not beat, sending him sliding down the chip counts.

Kim Nearly Eliminates Opponent

Level 1 : 100/200, 200 ante

With roughly 30,000 in the pot on a {q-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{9-Clubs} completed board, a player jammed in the big blind, and Brian Kim snap-called for his 41,700 chips on the button.

Kim tabled {k-Hearts}{j-Clubs} for the nuts, while his opponent held {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} for a set.

"Oh my god, I'm out," said the big blind in disbelief. A count showed Kim had slightly fewer chips and his opponent was still in with under five big blinds, although likely not for long, while Kim secured the early double.

Rees Keeps Firing

Level 1 : 100/200, 200 ante

David Rees was in the big blind and called a preflop raise from an opponent on the button as they went heads-up to a {j-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{7-Spades} flop.

Level 1 : 100/200, 200 ante
Michael Gathy
Michael Gathy

With over 16,000 in the pot on a {5-Clubs}{4-Spades}{2-Spades}{2-Diamonds} board, the small blind checked, and Michael Gathy checked behind in middle position.

The {4-Diamonds} completed the board and the small blind led out with a bet of approximately 18,000. Gathy responded by moving almost all of his chips in for approximately 52,000, leaving himself just two small denomination chips behind.

His opponent tanked for several minutes while looking at the board, but ultimately sent his cards into the muck to concede the pot to Gathy early in the day.
