Hani Awad

On the turn of a {Q-Spades}{3-Hearts}{8-Spades}{9-Diamonds} board, bracelet winner Hani Awad called after a bet and a raise before him. The original better called to complete the action.

The river was the {7-Spades} and after a check, one player bet. Awad called, as did the other player.

One player showed {A-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{2-Hearts} for a pair of sevens and the nut low. The other showed {K-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{6-Spades} for a king high flush. Awad couldn't win the high or the low with this hand and the pot was chopped up.

"Please give me something so I can bet into these guys," a player said as Mike Leah faced off against two opponents heading to a flop. The dealer spread the {9-Spades}{3-Hearts}{4-Spades} and the player did follow up with a bet, which Leah raised, prompting two calls.

The turn was the {4-Clubs} and action checked to Leah. He bet and this time he was raised by the third player in the hand. The original better folded, but Leah called.

The river was the {8-Clubs} and Leah check-called one last bet.

Leah showed {A-Spades}{K-Spades}{A-Hearts}{K-Clubs} but he was no good, as his opponent showed {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{2-Spades}{3-Clubs}, awarding him three-quarters of the pot.

As he raked in the pot, he grabbed some of the chips and smelled them.

"Mmmm," he said. "That Mike money has a good smell to it. It's sweet, like honey. It's got hints of maple syrup." The rest of the table laughed, but Leah didn't join in on the laughter.

Level 3 : 200/400, 0 ante

Valentin Vornicu limped under the gun. To his left a player raised. Both blinds called, as did Vornicu, and the four took a flop of {Q-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{5-Clubs}. Action checked around to the raiser and he bet. All three players called.

The turn was the {10-Hearts} and action checked to Vornicu. He bet and was raised by the original raiser. Everyone folded except Vornicu, who called.

The river was the {K-Diamonds} and Vornicu checked-called a bet. The other player showed {5-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{A-Clubs} for a set of fives and that was enough to scoop the pot.
