Pan Spikes the River on Rosario

Level 5

On a flop of 2♠Q♥10♠, Shirley Rosario bet from the button before Qinghai Pan raised in the big blind.

Rosario called to the 9♦ turn where Pan led out with a bet. Rosario called and the 3♥ fell on the river, where she again called a bet.

Pan turned over K♦K♠J♦10♦ for the turned straight to win the pot as Rosario mucked.

Among the other players sitting around this star-studded table are Norman Chad, Scott Clements, and Brett Richey.

Duncan Flops it and Wins on the River

Level 5

On a board of 2♣5♠6♠10♦ with three active players, the player first to act bet before seeing a call then a raise from Lee Duncan behind. One player got out of the way before a call from the other player took them to a 4♥ river card.

The player first to act checked only to see Duncan toss out a bet. His opponent folded and Duncan turned up the 6♣5♣4♦3♥ and said, "I flopped it" as the dealer pushed the pot in his direction.

Bronshtein Fills Up to Win Big

Level 5

Yuval Bronshtein was in the big blind and heads-up on a flop of 7♦Q♣2♠ when he called a bet from an opponent under the gun.

The turn came the K♠ and Bronshtein led out with a bet. His opponent raised and Bronshtein called to the K♥ river.

Bronshtein led out again and his opponent tank-called. Bronshtein turned over K♦7♥10♦A♣ for a full house and his opponent mucked.

"Flush draw and a low draw," Bronshtein asked his opponent as he took in the pot.

"Something like that," his defeated adversary said.

Blalock Gets No Action

Level 5

Elizabeth Blalock raised from under the gun, leaving herself just one purple 500 chip behind, as action folded around to the blinds who both called.

"I'll probably get something I completely miss," Blalock said pessimistically heading to the 6♥3♦A♣ flop. The blinds both checked to her, and she threw out her last chip. Both opponents quickly folded.

"Look at this," Blalock said, turning over A♠4♣4♠2♦ for top pair and a low. "And nobody had anything? How does that happen," she said as she took in the tournament-saving pot that she hoped had been much bigger.

Gola and Farha Chop One Up

Level 5

In a pot that saw four limps before a raise, Jason Gola put in the third bet before the flop. Sam Farha called before three others called as well and all five players took a flop of 9♠8♦A♠.

Gola led out and received a call from two spots, including Farha. All three players checked through on a 2♠ turn to see the K♠ fall on the river.

Gola led with a bet and was only called by Farha. Gola turned over the A♣7♦6♣2♦ for two pair, good for the high side, while Farha showed the A♥Q♦6♦4♠ for the low.

Frederici Picks Off a Missed Low

Level 5

With the board showing Q♥Q♣2♦6♥, a player in early position bet and Seth Frederici called.

The river came the K♦ and the early-position player bet again. Frederici quickly called and showed K♥A♦8♥2♣ for two pair, kings and queens.

His opponent quickly turned over 10♥J♣A♣3♣, having missed his low draw, before mucking.

Maren Takes Three Quarters in Pot With Tryba

Level 4

Chris Tryba bet on a board of 8♠4♦7♥2♠ and received two calls, including by Jon Maren in the hijack.

The river came the 6♥ and action checked to Maren, who put out a bet. Both opponents called and Maren showed K♦4♥5♠3♣ for a straight and a low. His other opponent had 8♣5♣3♦2♣ for the same low.

"I had a live ace," Tryba said as he mucked. The pot was about to be split before it was pointed out that Maren had the higher straight and won three-quarters of the pot.

Benardella Hits the River to Earn a Split

Level 4

Larry Benardella bet on a board of 10♣6♣3♣2♥ before Matt Woodward put in a raise.

Benardella called to see the 4♣ river where he led out with a bet. Woodward raised again and Benardella quickly called.

Woodward turned over A♠A♣Q♠2♣ for the flopped nut flush, but Benardella had A♦5♦ to earn half of the pot with the fortunate river as Woodward frustratingly tossed his cards back to the dealer.
