Stewart Morrison

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Action was joined as Curtis Freeze had manoeuvred the remains of his stack, roughly 21,500, into the middle versus Mark Lewandowski.

It was bad news for Freeze when the cards were turned onto their backs, and he saw what he was up against.

Curtis Freeze: K♦Q♥ All in
Mark Lewandowski: K♣K♥

Freeze had one foot out the door, and it looked certain the other would be following it on the 5♥5♦2♣ flop.

The 2♥ turn confirmed his fate, and while the dealer was burning and turning the A♥ river, Freeze was gathering his belongings to leave.

Dan O'Hair

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Dhesikan Ananchaperumal raised to 1,600 from early position and was called by Chad Holloway in the small blind for a heads-up pot.

Both players checked on the 4♥9♥3♥ flop and then Holloway check-called a 2,200 bet from Ananchaperumal on the K♦ turn.

The 3♣ completed the board and both players went back to checking.

Holloway shrugged before turning over A♠Q♥ and Ananchaperumal said, "That's good," as he flashed an Ax and sent his hand into the muck.
