Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Kevin Gerhart

Five players saw the flop of 8♥6♣5♣, and a player bet out 1,000 before Kevin Gerhart raised to 3,000. There was a call behind him and the original bettor mucked his hand.

When the 2♥ landed on the turn Gerhart bet 7,500, which was called by his opponent.

The 7♠ completed the board on the river, and Gerhart continued for 10,000. His opponent moved all-in for 46,000, putting Gerhart in the tank for a couple of minutes.

Eventually, Gerhart made the call, and his opponent tabled 8♠7♦ for two pair which was no good against Gerhart's 8♣8♦.

Shaun Deeb and Juha Helppi were in a heads-up pot on a board of 8♥10♠J♥4♣3♠.

Deeb bet 2,000 on the river and Helppi called. "I think you have me out-kicked," Deeb said before tabling Q♦10♣.

Helppi looked at his cards with disappointment as Deeb told him "you can't win every pot" and he tossed over A♦J♣ without realizing it was the winning hand.

"You win," Deeb said as laughter broke out at the table.

"I thought you had a straight," said Helppi. "I promise it wasn't a slow roll, Shaun."

"I know, you aren't that creative," an annoyed Deeb replied. "Usually when I say 'you have me out-kicked' I don't have a straight."

"This maybe explains why I'm losing this series," laughed Helppi.

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

The pot amounted to 1,600 when the action was caught. The flop read 2♥10♦A♦ and Tim Parisian led out for 400 chips into two other players. The player in the hijack called, as did Hamza Wajahat on the button.

The 3♣ turn was checked through before Parisian bet 1,500 on the K♠ river. The hijack folded but Wajahat made the call.

Parisian showed Q♠J♠ for the rivered nuts and Wajahat sighed while he folded his K♦J♥ face up.

"That's dirty," someone else at the table remarked.

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Jamie Gold was three-ways on a 2♠9♦J♠ flop. Gold checked from middle position to the player in the hijack, who bet 2,000. Only Gold called.

Gold check-called a 5,000 bet from his opponent on the 7♥ turn and then Gold led out for 3,000 when the 10♥ completed the board.

Gold's opponent called and Gold tabled 10♠9♣ for a rivered two pair. His opponent mucked and Gold collected the pot.

Matthew Livingston raised 600 in middle position and Merijn van Rooij defended the big blind.

When the 8♦7♣3♥ flop hit the felt, Van Rooij check-raised a continuation bet of 600 to 2,600. Livingston paused for a moment and splashed two more red chips on top of his 600 already in the middle for a three-bet to 10,200.

Van Rooij tanked for about 30 seconds before surrendering the pot.

There was a limp from under the gun and a raise to 1,000 in middle position. Doug Polk three-bet to 4,200 out of the big blind and only the raiser called. They went heads-up to a flop of Q♦5♥2♥ where Polk led out with a bet of 3,000 and his opponent called.

The 4♦ peeled off on the turn and Polk splashed in another bet of 10,500. His opponent still called and the A♣ hit the river. Polk checked this time and his opponent checked it back. Polk flipped over A♠Q♠ for two pair and was awarded the pot.

"Here we are, Level 1 of the Main Event," Polk said as he continued to get an early massage. "It's a new era."
