The flop showed 22J in a heads-up raised pot when Austin Marks checked from the blinds to Farah Galfond who bet 5,000. Marks took a minute and called.

The same action happened on the 2 turns, this time for 11,000.

The 6 completed the board and after a last check from Marks, Galfond announced all in for her last 42,500. After some thinking, Marks eventually called with J8 but the pot was sent to Galfond who held KK for a better full house.

Lucky Luck Lucksack

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Daniel Young opened to 2,100 in middle position and was called by Rhodora Luck in the cutoff and Ryan Riess in the small blind. The flop fell J102 and Young continued with a bet of 2,700 which only Luck called.

The turn was the 5 and Young fired out another bet of 3,100. Luck still called and the 5 paired the board on the river. Young checked this time and Luck slid in a bet of 5,000. Young looked him up and Luck turned over A6 for a flush to rake in the pot.

"Bang, right away on the turn," Young pointed out Luck's flush.

Lisandro Doesn't Feel Good About It

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Joao Rocha raised to 2,500 in first position which saw Rhian Fineis three bet to 7,500 in the small blind and Jeff Lisandro called in the big blind. Joao Rocha responded by four betting to 20,000 and Fineis called while Lisandro five bet to 100,000 and Rocha folded. Fineis six bet all in for 110,000 effective for all of Lisandro's chips and Lisandro called to put himself at risk.

Jeff Lisandro: KK
Rhian Fineis: QQ

"I don't feel very good about it," said Lisandro before the flop came.

As if on cue, the board ran out QJ1034 and the queens made a set to crack Lisandro's kings.

Lisandro exited the tournament area and Jean "Prince" Gaspard chirped up at the table.

"How can you expect to say that and win the hand?" remarked Gaspard.

Brunson Takes From Yokosawa

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Todd Brunson opened from middle position to 2,200, and was called by Masato Yokosawa seated on his left.

On the river 7, Brunson bet again, this time to 5,000. But it was a bit too much for Yokosawa, who decided to fold.

24 Carrot Comedy Gold at Table 239

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

According to his tablemates, Kyle Miholich has been the life of the table. He asked if the table wanted to hear a blonde joke or a carrot joke. The consensus was carrot joke.

"A papa carrot, a mama carrot, and a baby carrot were walking down the street when they were blindsided by a drunk driver," Miholic began.

Meanwhile, Duff Charette and Kevin Stevens got involved in a hand from the blinds. Stevens bet 1,000 from the big blind on a A10K flop and Charette put in the call.

"They were all taken to the emergency room. The papa and baby carrot only had superficial wounds, cuts and scrapes, but the mama was taken to surgery."

Stevens continued for 3,000 on a 6 turn. "The surgeon comes into the waiting room and the papa carrot is frantic. 'How is my wife?'" he asked. "'I have good news and bad news.' said the doctor."

Charette took the lead on the 8 turn, betting 5,000. Stevens said he thought Charette had a better king and folded.

Miholic looked around the table, playing to his audience as he hit the punchline. "'Your wife is going to live, Mr. Carrot. But she's going to be a vegetable for the rest of her life.'"

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Adam Hendrix

Adam Hendrix opened to 2,000 from middle position and the big blind defended.

The flop came 698. The big blind checked, Hendrix fired a continuation bet of 2,000 and the big blind moved all in, covering Hendrix's remaining stack of approximately 7,500. Hendrix quickly made the call to put himself at risk.

Big Blind: KJ
Adam Hendrix: AA

Hendrix was ahead with his pocket aces but the big blind was very live with a king-high flush draw. The board ran out 86 and Hendrix secured a much-needed double up.

Ben Spragg 'Spraggy'

The very next hand at the same table, Benjamin Spragg, best known as "Spraggy" online, moved all in from the hijack for his last 7,500 and received a call from the small blind, putting Spragg at risk.

Benjamin Spragg: AK
Small Blind: A8

Spragg was ahead with a bigger ace but the J910 flop gave his opponent several more outs. The 10 turn and K river were clean for Spragg and he secured the second double up at his table over two consecutive hands.
