Tran's Straight Takes it

Level 4 : 1,000/2,000, 0 ante

Tom McCormick limped from under the gun, JC Tran raised from the cutoff, Ahn Van Nguyen called from the small blind, and McCormick called.

On the {A-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} flop, Van Nguyen checked, McCormick bet, and both of his opponents called. All three players checked the {4-Clubs} turn. When the {K-Diamonds} hit the river, it was checked to Tran, who bet, and only McCormick looked him up.

Tran showed {Q-Spades}{J-Diamonds}, and McCormick asked, "Is that a straight?" Indeed, it was, and Tran's Broadway took down the pot.

Dan Heimiller's Tens Are Good

Level 4 : 1,000/2,000, 0 ante

A player in early position raised, the cutoff called, and Dan Heimiller three-bet in the small blind. The big blind folded and the next two players called.

The flop was {Q-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{5-Spades} and Heimiller bet out. The next player called and so did the cutoff. The turn was the {Q-Hearts} and Heimiller bet again. The next player called and the cutoff got out of the way.

On the {A-Spades} river, Heimiller and his opponent both checked. Heimiller showed pocket tens and that was enough to take down the pot. He let out a sigh of relief that his hand was good.

Johns Gets Hsiung to Fold Twice

Level 4 : 1,000/2,000, 0 ante

Ian Johns raised from the cutoff and Kenny Hsiung defended the big blind.

On the {K-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{7-Clubs} flop, Hsiung check-called Johns' bet.

When the {5-Hearts} landed on the turn, Hsiung led out this time and Johns raised. Hsiung took some time before he eventually folded.

The very next hand, Johns raised from the hijack, Hsiung three-bet from the small blind, and Johns called.

Hsiung led out on the {K-Clubs}{10-Spades}{6-Clubs} flop and was called.

Both players checked the {9-Hearts} turn.

On the {4-Spades} river, Hsiung checked and Johns Bet. Hsiung folded much quicker this time than in the previous hand against Johns who took down two straight pots.

With the board reading {6-Spades}{4-Hearts}{4-Clubs} {J-Hearts} and over 20,000 in the pot, Damien LeForbes checked in the big blind and Dan Heimiller bet in middle position. The cutoff folded and so did LeForbes.

"Gotchya!" Heimiller exclaimed and showed {8-Hearts}{7-Hearts} for a semi-bluff with a flush draw and a gut-shot straight draw before taking down the pot.
