Kernan Flushed a Player

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 JK6 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: AA
Kevin Kernan: A8

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.

Koutoumanos Raises it Away on the Flop

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 A103, 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.

"The Hammer" Takes Three-Bet Pot

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

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 AK7 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".

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

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 A410. 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: 44
Nana Sanechika: 1010

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

Ana Marquez
Ana Marquez

Ana Marquez was in middle position and was involved in a 29,000 pot against a player in the cutoff. Marquez checked on 742Q 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 76 and the two pair was indeed good as Marquez slid her cards towards the muck.

Dwan Uses the "Dirty Diaper" to Crack Aces

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

Tom Dwan was in early position and facing a bet of 8,000 on a flop of 385. 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 AA. Dwan had 32 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.

Estes Catches a Queen to Lighten The Field

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: AA
Michael Estes: QQ

Estes had run into the preflop nuts and the 557 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.

Anderson Slows Down Rigby

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 QJ3 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 AQ. Rigby had the K10 for the open-ended straight draw but the river bricked as Anderson jumped to the rail in order to celebrate.
