Tyler Foran

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

The button raised to 3,500 and Brent Whitis came along in the small blind.

When the A♣10♠5♥ flop hit the felt, Whitis check-called a bet of 2,000.

The 7♥ hit the turn and Whitis checked once again before he was faced with a bet of 4,500.

"six-seven-eight-nine," counted Whitis aloud before making the call.

His opponent responded, "I guess I don't want to see any of those cards."

The 9♥ completed the board and both players knuckled the table. Whitis opened 6♠6♥, and his opponent mucked as he pulled in the pot.

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

In a three-handed pot, Thomas Choi bet 11,000 on a board of 3♦10♠J♠2♦ and Matthew Schulte called in the hijack.

The river came the 6♦ and Choi, in the big blind, fired out another 8,000. Schulte then threw in five red 5,000 chips.

Choi went to expose his hand before realizing that Schulte had raised to 21,000. "Back door flush? Diamonds," Choi wondered as he pondered the decision with just 25,000 left in his stack. He eventually folded and Schulte took the pot.

Ha Duong in early position raised to 3,000 and David Kenniston to his direct left three-bet to 7,500. The player in the big blind cold called the bet and Duong four-bet to 22,500. Both Kenniston and the big blind called.

The flop came 2♠Q♥6♣. With the action checked back to Duong, he bet out for 26,000, forcing both his opponents to fold.

Roxanne Johnson

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

The player in the hijack raised to 3,500 and the small and big blind both called. The flop came out 2♦Q♥10♣ and the hijack bet 3,000 and the small blind Michael Bailey called.

Both players checked the turn 7♦ and the river 7♥.

The hijack did not want to turn over his cards and Bailey flipped over A♠J♥ for ace high and the win.
