Level 5 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

A player in the cutoff opened to 1,400, then was raised to 5,000 by Jon Pardy in the small blind. The cutoff called and checked back on the flop 4♣3♥7♦.

The 5♥ came on the turn, and Pardy bet 4,500. The cutoff didn't back down and called to see the river 10♣, where Pardy moved all in for 13,200 chips.

Just a few seconds to analyze the board were enough for the cutoff to call. "You got me," said Pardy immediately, laughing and mucking his cards. As he was all-in, the dealer revealed his cards, K♠Q♣. But it was the losing hand, as his opponent had A♥3♥ for a bottom pair.

According to the table, "there was an open in early position to 900 by George Dimitriadis, and a few players called, making it a 6-way pot."

On 2♣4♥A♥, everybody checked to the button, who bet 1,800. Three players called and then checked again on the turn 7♣. The button continued for 5,200. However, Dimitriadis decided to raise all in to 27,900. The cutoff also shoved for 20,400 chips. Seeing that, the button had no choice but to fold.

Cutoff: K♥8♥
George Dimitriadis: A♣10♣

The cutoff was looking for a heart to make flush to double up. But a black card came on the river, the 7♠, sending him into the rail and sending the pot to Dimitriadis with his aces-up.
