Gunn Shoots Straight

Gabrielle Barredo

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Ryuta Nakai started the action with a 2,400 raise from late position. Aaron Gunn in the big blind called to see a flop.

The flop came 7♥8♥10♥ and both players checked the flop. The turn 9♦ and once again both players the straighty board.

On the river 10♠, Gunn shot out 5,100. Nakai called just to muck his hand after Gunn showed K♣J♦ for a straight.

Stewart Morrison

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Viktor Blom raised from early position to 2,600, and only Brian Wardrup called, defending his big blind.

Playing in flow, Wardrup checked to Blom on the J♥Q♥A♦ flop. Blom placed a bet of 3,000, which Wardrup called.

Both players checked the 10♥ turn, and the dealer flipped over a 4♦ river card.

Wardrup led out with a bet of 8,500, and after a small pause for thought, Blom called.

Wardrup tabled 6♥5♥ for a flush, and Blom mucked his cards.

The board 4♠K♠2♠J♦5♦ was already dealt when Sonke Jahn made a bet, with only a few chips behind, and Ernest Hou shoved.

Jahn called all in and tabled Q♠10♠ for the flush. It wasn't good enough as Hou showed A♠3♠ for the nut flush and Jahn made his way to the exit.

Villegas Takes From Moncek

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Tyler Moncek was one of many players to take advantage of the advanced late registration today and had run up a profit already. However, all of that vanished when he took on Mark Villegas. On a board of Q♣7♥2♥6♥J♣, Villegas check-called a bet of 25,000 by Moncek who revealed the J♠10♥.

Villegas had that beat with the Q♥8♣ in the big blind and leaped to a very healthy stack.

Bishop Two-Outers Yonnotti

Jacob Wilson

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

David Yonnotti and Joseph Bishop were the only two players contesting a pot, with 32,000 in the middle. They arrived to the turn with the board reading Q♥2♥3♦A♦ and Bishop had the all in button in front of him. Covered, Yonnotti had to make a decision for his tournament life, and he ultimately landed on a call.

David Yonnotti: A♥5♥ All in
Joseph Bishop: J♥10♥

Yonnotti had top pair, the nut flush draw, and a gutshot. Bishop had an inferior flush draw, but a better gutshot. That being said, only a non-heart king would give him the knockout. "You have me, good game, man," said Bishop, making what came next all the more painful. The K♣ peeled off on the river, as "Woah!" could be heard around the table. Yonnotti left gracefully, offering a "GG" to his table.

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

John Garza woke up to 8♦8♣ and raised to 2,600 under the gun. In late position, Collin Ball three-bet to 8,000 with A♥9♥. The flop dropped 2♦3♠6♥.

Both players checked, leading them to the 5♠ turn. Garza checked. Ball took his time before betting 9,000, sending Garza to think for few seconds before making the call.

The river 8♠ gave Garza a set which he checked. Ball checked after.
