Kirk Steele Quarters Wendy Weissman

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 0 ante

Wendy Weissman got all her chips in the middle before the flop against Kirk Steele, who had her covered by a wide margin.

Weissman: {A-Spades}{10-Hearts}{6-Spades}{2-Hearts}
Steele: {A-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}

The board ran out {9-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}, so both players made the nut low, but Steele took the high half with a jack-high flush to take half of Weissman's stack.

Barry Greenstein Scoops Massive Three-Way Pot to Seize the Chip Lead

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 0 ante
Barry Greenstein
Barry Greenstein

Gregory Warner raised to 5,500 from under the gun, Pilar Tucker was next to act and called, and Barry Greenstein three-bet to 25,600 from the hijack. Viatcheslav Ortynskiy called from the big blind, Warner called, as well, and Tucker went into the tank briefly before folding.

The flop came {9-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}, and Ortynskiy potted for 39,300. Warner called, Greenstein shoved, and both Ortynskiy and Warner got all their chips in, as well.

Greenstein: {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}
Ortynskiy: {A-Spades}{J-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}
Warner: {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}

Warner and Ortynskiy both had the nut-low draw, and Greenstein had the lead for the high half with his aces. The turn brought the {2-Clubs}, giving Greenstein the lead for the low, as well, and the {6-Hearts} river meant Greenstein scooped the pot with a nine-high straight and six-five low to double through Warner and stack Otrynskiy.

Marco Johnson Busts a Player

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 0 ante

Marco Johnson raised to 7,500 from under the gun, and his opponent three-bet jammed all-in. Johnson called putting his opponent at risk.

Opponent: {A-}{A-}{2-}{X-}
Johnson: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{2-Hearts}

Johnson's opponent had the preflop advantage with his aces and made a set when the flop came {A-Spades}{10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}, but the {7-Hearts} on the turn put Johnson in front with a queen-high flush. The {5-Clubs} river was no help to his opponent, and Johnson scooped the pot.
