Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Under the gun, Herbert Karp opened to 1,200, and was raised by another player in middle position to 3,000. After Kenny Hallaert folded his big blind, Karp called to see the flop J♦4♥4♦.

On this first street, Karp check-called when his opponent made a continuation bet of 2,500. Then on the turn 2♦, both players checked.

The Q♣ came on the river. Karp checked again, and his opponent bet 6,000. After a few seconds, Karp called. But there was nothing he could do against the winning hand A♠A♦.

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Robert Holben raised 1,200 in middle position and Glenn Scheck called next to act. The action folded around to Bob Mather in the big blind and he made the call.

When the K♥10♦7♣ flop hit the felt, Mather checked and Holben fired a bet of 1,600. Scheck called and Mathers got out of the way.

The 3♥ hit the turn and Holben slowed down by check-calling a bet of 2,500 and 9♣ river was checked by both players.

Holben tabled 10♥2♥ in honor of Doyle Brunson but it was no good as Scheck dragged the pot with K♠Q♥.

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Patrik Antonius was heads-up from the cutoff against Renat Bohdanov on the button on a completed board of 6♥4♥8♣3♠Q♣ with over 30,000 in the middle already.

Antonius cut out a bet to 16,000 and placed it into the middle. Bohdanov thought for a bit before calling and Antonius turned over 10♦10♠. It was good, as Bohdanov mucked and Antonius added to his steadily growing stack.

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Yohwan "BoxeR" Lim has been climbing the ranks since the dinner break ended. In his latest pot, he was heads up against Fabrizio Gonzalez on a board of 3♥2♠3♠3♣.

In a pot of around 5,000 chips, Lim checked from the small blind before Gonzalez made a small bet of 800. Lim then came up with a raise to 3,500 and Gonzalez called.

Lim fired another 4,500 on the 9♦ river and this time it was enough to let Gonzalez lay his cards down.

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

On a flop of 7♦2♣7♥, John Duthie checked to his opponent who bet 6,500, which Duthie quickly called to see a A♥ turn card.

Duthie then became the aggressor and led out for 10,000 and his opponent thought about it for a second before making the call to go to the 6♥ river.

Duthie then tossed out a single green chip worth 25,000 and sent his adversary into the tank. He began counting and recounting his chips, mulling over his decision until he finally slid his cards into the muck to award Duthie the pot.

The flop came A♦4♥2♠ and both players checked to the 6♠ on the turn. The small blind checked again and Viafora tossed in a bet of 6,000 which was good enough to win him the pot.

Oharra Makes Incredible Laydown

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Ryan Brown was nice enough to relay a hand history that conspired on his table:

Alan Dworetsky raised 1,100 under the gun and Kevin Oharra three-bet to 3,500 from a couple of spots to his left. The action folded back around to Dworetsky and he made the call.

The flop came KxJx2x and Dworetsky check-called a bet of 2,000 from Oharra.

The 2x fell on the turn and Dworetsky check-called again, this time for 10,000.

The Kx double-paired the board and Dworetsky jammed all-in for 70,000. Kevin Oharra had him only slightly covered and tank-folded A♥K♠ face up. Dworetsky couldn't believe what he was seeing and showed 2x2x for quad twos.

Alan Dworetsky	105,000
Ryan Brown	86,000

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Action was opened under the gun by Kasey Mills to 1,000. The action folded to the button who flat called and the small blind folded. It was then on the big blind who took a moment and ultimately opted to put in the cold three-bet to 5,000. Mills called and the button came along as well. The players were off to a flop three ways.

The J♥2♥K♠ flop hit the felt and the big blind continued with a bet of 7,000. Mills was next to act and took her time before gather a raise to the tune of 17,500 and putting it in the middle. The button got out of the way and the big blind went into the tank. After significant time had passed the big blind announced he was all in with Mills having him covered by just a few thousand. Mills snap called.

The cards hit their back.

Big Blind: A♥A♣
Kasey Mills: J♠J♦

Mills was in great shape but the 5♥ turn brought in a bunch of new outs in the form of a flush draw for her opponent's aces. Fortunately, the river landed a clean 9♦ and Mills would send her opponent to the rail early in Day 1 while dragging in a pile of chips.

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

David Bach has showed up in the gold section of the Horseshoe Event Center and defended his big blind multiway, creating a pot of 6,200 chips. The flop was subsequently fanned out 5♠Q♦6♣ and Bach checked to the under the gun player, who made a bet of 2,300.

The action then folded back to Bach, who put out a raise to 9,000. The puzzled under the gun player took a while, but eventually relinquished the pot to Bach.
