Tyler Boyer
Tyler Boyer
Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

With action being picked up on the flop, Jay Rone was all in for 11,500 versus a player in middle position. With 6,000 already in the pot and a board showing 7♣7♦2♦ the cards were flipped on their back.

Jay Rone: A♦10♦ All in
Middle Position: 8♣7♠

Rone was behind the trips of his opponent, but when the turn came the 9♦ it improved him a flush and put him in the lead. After the 6♣ on the turn, Rone's flush was still best to give him the double up.

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

There was a short-stacked player who shoved from early position for around 3,000. Scott Zakheim had called, as the did the player in the small blind.

On the 4♣3♣8♦ flop, the small blind check-called a bet of 3,500 from Zakheim.

The turn was a 9♥ and once it checked to Zakheim, he bet 10,000.

"How much? 10,000? I don't have that much," remarked the small blind before she folded.

Early Position: 6♦6♣ All in
Scott Zakheim: Q♣Q♠

Both the side pot and the main pot ware pushed to Zakheim as the 2♦ river changed nothing.

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

There was a limp from early position when Steve Nickerson shoved all in for 8,400. The action folded to the player in the big blind who called, and the limper folded.

Steve Nickerson: J♠J♥ All in
Big Blind: A♥K♠

The window card was the A♣ but the 2♦J♣ followed it which prompted Nickerson to punch the air in delight. It wasn't over though as the Q♠ turn improve the big blind to a Broadway draw, but the 6♠ river was a brick which meant Nickerson doubled up.
