Kevin Saul Loses Some

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

With about 7,000 chips already in the middle on a {Q-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{J-Spades} flop, the player in the small blind checked to his lone opponent, Kevin Saul on the button, who bet 2,400. The small blind called.

The turn brought the {8-Hearts}, and the small blind checked. After a few moments of thought, Saul bet 4,800, and the small blind called.

The {5-Spades} fell on the river, and the small blind instantly shoved for just over 8,000. Saul quickly folded, and the small blind tabled {K-Spades}{10-Spades} for a king-high flush.

Sofia Lovgren Climbing

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante
Sofia Lovgren
Sofia Lovgren

Sofia Lovgren raised to 1,600 from the hijack and got a call from the player in the big blind.

The flop came {A-Hearts}{10-Spades}{9-Hearts}, and both players checked. The turn brought the {3-Spades}, and the big blind checked. After a few moments of thought, Lovgren bet 2,500, sending her opponent into the tank briefly. He ultimately called. The {5-Hearts} fell on the river, and both players checked.

Lovgren showed {J-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for a pair of tens, and her opponent said, "I missed." He flashed two spades before tossing his hand into the muck.

Davin Anderson Felted

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

Three players had already gotten their stacks in, and the completed board read {5-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{2-Spades}{J-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}. Davin Anderson tabled {J-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} for a pair of jacks, which was enough to beat one opponent's {A-}{K-} but not enough to win against the other's {K-Hearts}{K-Clubs}.

Although Anderson spun up a stack fairly quickly when play first began, the cards didn't fall his way after the dinner break.
