Slow Play Can Pay

Level 5 : 150/300, 50 ante

The player under the gun opened to 800. Manig Loser called from one seat over. The big blind three-bet to 3,500. The original raiser folded, but Loeser called.

The flop came {4-Spades}{a-Hearts}{9-Clubs} and was checked through to the {7-Diamonds} turn. Once again, both players checked. The river came the {2-Spades}, and the big blind checked it to Loeser, who bet 3,000. His opponent called, and Loeser tabled {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} to rake in the pot.

Dario Sammartino Wins a Big One With... Not Much

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Dario Sammartino opened to 1,000 in the button. The small blind folded, and the big blind defended.

The flop was {2-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{3-Clubs}. The big blind checked to Sammartino, who bet 1,100. His opponent check-called. The turn came the {q-Spades}, and this time, the player in the big blind led for 1,100. Sammartino called. The river was the {k-Diamonds}, and the player in the big blind bet 1,300. Sammartino stared at him for a few seconds before announcing, ''All in,'' for a total of 10,625. His opponent called.

Sammartino tabled {5-Hearts}{3-Hearts} for deuces and threes, and his opponent sent his hand to the muck. Sammartino shook his head and laughed, and so did the other players at the table.

Deuces Never Loses

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

The player under the gun opened to 900. It was folded to Kyle Julius, on the button, who called, as did the small blind and Niall Farrell in the big blind.

The flop came {8-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{5-Clubs} and was checked around to Julius, who bet 1,300. Farrell was the only caller. The turn was the {q-Clubs}, and Farrell checked. Julius bet 2,400, and once again, Farrell called. The {10-Clubs} river completed the board, and Farrell checked for a third time. Julius checked back.

Farrell tabled {2-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} for a set of deuces. Julius mucked, and a player at the table told Farrell, ''I never win with deuces. How do you do it, bro?!'' Farrell just smiled.

Eddy Sabat Eliminated, Mike Scarborough Chipping Up

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante
Eddy Sabat (from a previous event)
Eddy Sabat (from a previous event)

Mike Scarborough raised to 1,000 in middle position, and Eddy Sabat three-bet to 3,200 in the cutoff. The button and blinds folded, and Scarborough called.

The flop came {9-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{6-Hearts}, and Scarborough checked. Sabat bet 2,900, and after a long pause, Scarborough put forward 25,000 chips, enough to put Sabat to an all-in decision.

Sabat called, and they showed down.

Scarborough: {7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}
Sabat: {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}

Sabat's aces were ahead, but Scarborough had a pair and a gutshot straight draw.

The {8-Clubs} turn gave Scarborough the straight, and the {J-Diamonds} river was insignificant.

Sabat, who just took fourth place in Event #29 $2,500 No-Limit Hold'em last night for $143,148, will not be making a deep run in this one.

From a Pair to a Straight

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Jon Turner raised to 900 in early position. Action folded around to the big blind, who defended.

The flop was {10-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{9-Spades}, and that was checked through the {8-Clubs} turn. The player in the big blind led for 1,100, and Turner stuck around with a call. The river was the {k-Hearts}, and the player in the big blind bet 2,500. Turner called again.

Turner tabled {7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} for a straight next to his opponent {5-Clubs}{6-Spades}.
