Martin Makes a Flush

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

The flop showed 8210, and the player in the hijack had bet 5,000. Sean Martin raised all in for 34,000 from the cutoff, and after some time, the hijack made the call.

Sean Martin: A5
Cutoff: J9

The Q turn meant Martin was guaranteed to double up with a flush as a meaningless 4 came on the river.

The Worst Hand Wins

Level 12 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

The player seated under the gun moved all in for his last 13,500 and got looked up by both the button and Jonathan Brown in the big blind.

Both Brown and the button checked the board of 79879 down to the river, and the cards were revealed.

Under the gun: 95 All in
Button: KJ
Jonathan Brown: A3

Neither Brown nor the button could best the full house of their at-risk opponent.

Money Looking for More Money

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Kelly Money three-bet in the cutoff to 13,000 after being raised by the hijack player to 4,500. The player in the hijack called, and we were off to the flop, which was 558. The player in the hijack position bet out 6,000, and Money went all in for 55,000. The hijack called.

It took a long time to determine who had the bigger stack, but in the end, the hijack player had slightly fewer chips and was the one at risk.

Hijack: AA All in
Kelly Money: 88

The hijack announced, "That's my luck," as the turn 8 and the river J came out and sealed the deal for Money.
