Kernan Flushed a Player

Roxanne Johnson

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

A player in middle position raised to 2,500 and Kevin Kernan called on the button. The flop came out J♣K♥6♣ and the middle position player checked his options and Kernan fired out 4,000 and received a call.

On the turn 10♣ the middle position player announced, "All in" and shoved for the rest of his small stack about 10,000 and Kernan quickly called.

Middle position player: A♥A♠
Kevin Kernan: A♣8♣

Kernan headed to the river already holding the nut flush and the aces were drawing dead when it came the 3♦ which sent the other player packing.

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Barth Melius raised 2,500 in the cutoff and Georgios Koutoumanos called on the button before the big blind did the same.

The dealer fanned a flop of A♦10♣3♣, and the big blind checked to Melius who continued for 3,500. Koutoumanos tossed two reds across the line while announcing a raise to 9,000 and that was enough to earn the pot as both player's cards quickly hit the muck.

Koutoumanos showed the 3♥ while dragging the pot.

A player in the hijack opened the action to 2,700 and Gregory Haemmerle put in a three-bet next to act. The rest of the table folded and the initial raiser came along.

The flop fanned out A♣K♥7♠ and the hijack checked to Haemmerle who continued for 7,000. His opponent took a few seconds, but eventually let his cards go and the pot was sent to Haemmerle whose nickname is "The Hammer".

Ollie Garland

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Nana Sanechika raised in early position to 2,500, finding three callers; the cutoff, small blind and big blind.

The action checked over to the cutoff who bet out 2,500 on a board of A♣4♥10♠. Both the blinds called while Sanechika check-raised to 8,000. The cutoff flat called and the small blind three-bet to 22,000. The big blind got out of the way, Sanechika called the raise and the cutoff folded.

Heads up to a turn of the 3♦. The small blind shoved all in for the remainder of their stack and Sanechika snap-called.

Small Blind: 4♦4♣
Nana Sanechika: 10♦10♥

The river fell the 2♥ and Sanechika claimed this massive pot virtue of a set-over-set cooler.

Frank Visser

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Ana Marquez was in middle position and was involved in a 29,000 pot against a player in the cutoff. Marquez checked on 7♣4♦2♥Q♠ and so did her opponent.

The river then came the 6♠ and Marquez put out 18,000 chips. Her opponent immediately called and Marquez stated: "You're good."

Upon hearing that, the player tabled 7♦6♦ and the two pair was indeed good as Marquez slid her cards towards the muck.

David Salituro

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Tom Dwan was in early position and facing a bet of 8,000 on a flop of 3♥8♦5♠. He called and the turn came the 3♠.

Dwan again checked and his opponent, to Dwan's direct left, fired out another 20,000. Dwan looked over at him and paused for a moment before splashing in a raise.

His opponent quickly called all in for his last 60,000 and turned over A♣A♥. Dwan had 3♣2♣ for trips and the all-in player leapt from his seat to await his fate.

The river came the J♠ and Dwan won the pot and earned the knockout to climb up near 200,000.

Dan O'Hair

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Michael Estes got into a preflop-raising war from under the gun against one other player in the hijack that resulted in them getting all in preflop. Estes had his opponent covered.

Hijack: A♣A♠
Michael Estes: Q♠Q♦

Estes had run into the preflop nuts and the 5♠5♥7♣ flop was of no help; however, the Q♥ turn vaulted Estes into the lead with a set of queens and the river bricked out to keep Estes in front — eliminating his opponent from contention.

Christian Zetzsche

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Francis Anderson three-bet to 10,000 in the cutoff and Nicholas Rigby called as the initial raiser. On the Q♠J♣3♠ flop, Rigby led and Anderson raised to 10,000 for Rigby to call.

That brought them to the 4♣ turn on which Rigby check-jammed for 73,600, as that's what Anderson had left behind. Anderson had bet 8,000 and called all-in with the A♦Q♥. Rigby had the K♥10♠ for the open-ended straight draw but the river bricked as Anderson jumped to the rail in order to celebrate.
