Pok Kim
Pok Kim

A series of bets and raises created a pot of over 6,000 before the flop with five-way action.

The flop came {A-Spades}{4-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}, and Pok Kim was first to act. She shoved all in for 2,325.

"I got the button," Kim said, holding up the all-in button. "I got a straight draw, come on. Call. I need the chips."

Kim's shove got through all five opponents, with one of them saying that he folded {K-}{K-}, and she was awarded the big pot.

Saberin Gets Lucky

Level 3 : 75/150, 25 ante

The player under the gun moved all in for her remaining 1,700. Navid Saberin was in early position and called.

Navid Saberin: {2-Hearts}{2-Spades}
Under the gun: {3-Diamonds}{3-Spades}

The board ran out {9-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}, and after his opponent flopped a set to all but assure himself of a double, Saberin spiked a six-high straight to take it down and eliminate his opponent.

Katz Five-Bet Shoves Preflop

Level 3 : 75/150, 25 ante

After a raise from the player to his right, Michael Katz three-bet it to 1,050 from the cutoff. It folded to the big blind, and he tossed out a four-bet to 2,625. The original raiser folded, and Katz asked to see the rest of the big blind's stack. After about 30 seconds of thinking, Katz dropped him all of his big-denomination chips, setting his opponent all in.

His opponent thought it over for about a minute, rechecked his hole cards, then sent them in to give Katz the pot.

Action was back to Waaland, who shoved all in for right around 12,000. The button and small blind folded, then the big blind followed suit, as well, passing his 2,700-chip re-raise over to Waaland.

Waaland smirked, then turned over his {Q-Clubs}{J-Spades} and took in the rest of the pot.

Negreanu Knows How to Make an Entrance

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante
Daniel Negreanu (as seen in previous event)
Daniel Negreanu (as seen in previous event)

Daniel Negreanu just took his seat in the Miranda Room, announced, "Let's gamble," and got it in blind on the first hand.

A player in middle position raised to 500. Negreanu moved all in from the hijack for 9,975. The player in the big blind called, and the original raiser folded.

Daniel Negreanu: {j-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}
Big blind: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}

The flop was {j-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{3-Hearts}, and Negreanu paired up with a backdoor straight draw. He began shouting for a four as a huge crowd gathered around the table. The turn was the {6-Spades}. Now the straight draw was open-ended, and Negreanu kept on calling out his cards while people were looking onward, recording and taping this fun moment. The dealer burned a card and flipped over the {2-Clubs} on the river, completing Negreanu's straight. He leapt into the air in excitement.

Several high-fives went around, and Negreanu was sure to capture some of the moment for his vlog. He stated, "How fun was that?! All for a good cause and charity."

He certainly is right. The charismatic Canadian and face of the poker world makes this game we love that much more enjoyable.
