A player from early position raised to 800, a player in middle position and the hijack called. Jerry Mansfield three-bet all in for his last 1,700 chips, which the small blind and both players in early and middle position called. That is when the hijack four-bet all in for 15,100, which got the rest of the table to fold, leaving him and Mansfield heads up.
Jerry Mansfield: A♦7♦
Hijack: 7♠7♥
Mansfield needed help to stay in the tournament and the A♥J♦K♦ flop was exactly what he was looking for, improving to a pair of aces and a flush draw. The turn was the 3♣ and the river came the 4♦ to give Mansfield the nut flush and the quadruple up.
On a board of A♠8♠J♠J♥4♠, Sue Humbles bet 2,000 into a pot of around 4,000 and received a call from the player in early position.
Humbles tabled A♣Q♠ for a flush and her opponent mucked.
Level: 2
Blinds: 100/200
Ante: 200
Barry Greenstein raised to 300 from middle position and the players in the hijack and button both called. The flop came out 8♦K♣J♦ and Greenstein placed a continuation bet of 600, the hijack folded and Arnie Blitstein three-bet to 1,200. Greenstein made the call.
On the turn K♥ Greenstein checked and Blitstein bet out the same bet 1,200. Greenstein contemplated a moment and folded. Blitstein showed the K♦.
Acton was picked up with 1,000 chips in the pot, and a board showing 7♠J♥6♦. David Compton bet out 600 from the small blind, both the big blind and a player in the cutoff made the call.
The turn brought the K♦ and Compton again bet out 600, but this time the big blind folded, and the cutoff made the call.
On the river was the 8♥ and Compton fired out once more, for 1,000. The cutoff quickly called and tabled K♠Q♥ for top pair with kings, but Compton had the winner when he showed 10♥9♦ for a rivered straight.
With around 4,000 chips in the pot and a board that read 5♠8♠7♦4♠, Jeff Sardella had checked to the player in the hijack, who bet 5,000. Sardella then shoved his stack of 18,000 into the middle, and the hijack snap-called for 14,000 total.
Hijack: K♠Q♠
Jeff Sardella: 7♠6♠
The entire table was in disbelief that Sardella had turned a straight flush, which left the hijack drawing dead. A meaningless J♠ completed the board and Sardella was pushed the pot, which sent his opponent to the rail early on.
A player from early position raised to 400 and was called by a player in middle position. Nick Blackburn three-bet to 1,700 from the cutoff, which the early position player called and the middle position player folded.
The flop came 5♥J♣2♣ and the player in early position check-called the bet of 2,000.
After the turn came with the 6♦, both players checked to the river.
The river was the K♦ and after the early position player checked, Blackburn bet 2,000 and was quickly called. Blackburn tabled A♣K♥ for top pair, top kicker, and his opponent mucked his hand.
The table also relayed info about the first hand of the tournament, when Mark Brennan eliminated a player after flopping quad queens. Brennan and his opponent got all the chips in on the turn, when his opponent needed a K♥ for a royal flush. The river gave Brennan a sweat when it came the K♦, but his quads were still best and he doubled up on the first hand of the tournament.
