Dan O'Hair

Level 2 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Jonas Kronwitter opened from middle positino and was three-bet to 14,400 by Gruffudd Pugh-Jones from directly behind. Action folded back to Kronwitter, who called.

Kronwitter check-called a 12,500 bet from Pugh-Jones on the 4♥4♣6♦ flop and then led out for 42,000 on the 6♣ turn. Pugh-Jones called.

Kronwitter fired 75,000 into the middle on the 2♣ river and Pugh-Jones announced he was all in — sending Kronwitter deep into the tank.

Kronwitter burned up a time extension before sending his hand into the muck and Pugh-Jones colected the pot without showing.

Level 2 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Multiway to a 5♦8♠6♦ flop, Christopher Frank bet 9,500 from the big blind. Isaac Haxton was the only interested party, and he called on the button. Frank sized up to 36,000 on the 3♥ turn, getting a quick fold from Haxton.

"I bluffed you, Ike," Frank gleefully said as he tabled 8♣7♣.

"You were ahead," Haxton dryly responded.

Action picked up on the river in a hand between Jason Koon in the cutoff and Dirk Gerritse in the big blind.

With about 75,000 in the middle and the board reading 5♠A♠10♣9♦K♣, Gerritse led out with a bet of 55,000.

Koon thought for a moment before reluctantly making the call. Gerritse turned over Q♠J♥3♥2♠ for the nut straight to scoop the pot.

Alex Foxen opened to 3,500 first to act and was three-bet to 12,000 by Talal Shakerchi in middle position. Action folded back to Foxen, who called.

Foxen check-called a 13,000 bet from Shakerchi on the 9♦6♦4♣ flop and then both players checked on the 5♦ turn.

The A♥ completed the board and Foxen led out for 16,000. Shakerchi responded with a raise to 55,000 and Foxen let his hand go after a bit of thought.

Level 1 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Artur Martirosian limped under the gun, Ka Lau called in the cutoff, and Talal Shakerchi made it 5,500 to go on the button. Ben Lamb called in the big blind, and Martirosian and Lau stuck around.

The flop came 9♣8♦A♣ and action checked around to the Q♣ turn where all players checked again.

On the 7♥ river, it checked over to Lau who bet 10,000 and only Lamb made the call.

Lau tabled 4♣3♣XxXx for the flush and Lamb tossed his cards into the muck.
