Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Martin Miller began the hand with a raise to 500 from early position. The table folded around to Mohammad Haghdoust on the button, who called. Kelley Embree and Zijing Cheng also called from the small and big blind, respectively.

Embree bet 1,000 on the A♦6♦9♦ flop. Cheng and Miller folded, but Haghdoust came along with a call.

The 2♥ turn led to a check from Embree. Haghdoust fired 5,000 and was called by Embree.

Embree checked again on the J♠ river. Haghdoust put out a 5,000 chip again, and Embree called.

Haghdoust showed 8♦7♦ for a flopped flush. Embree mucked his hand.

With the pot at over 7,000 and the board reading K♠K♣A♠6♠8♥ Alejandro Davila tossed out a bet of 3,000, which sent Joseph Gunn into the tank, and he eventually called, asking "Chop?"

No such luck as Davila tabled Q♠9♠ for a turned flush, and Gunn tossed his cards into the muck.

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

The hand was picked up on the flop, where there was approximately 6,000 in the pot on the board of 9♣7♠2♠.

Matthew Pang bet the flop for 3,200. It was then raised by Douglas Lee to 10,300.

Alessandro De Michele wanted to play for more and jammed all in. Pang folded, and while Lee was thinking about his decision, De Michele accidentally showed 2♥2♣ for bottom set. Lee folded, and De Michele dragged in the healthy pot.

The action folded to Brandon Hall on the button, who called. Gary Klein chose to raise to 400 from the small blind and garnered calls from Jeffrey Mcintosh in the big blind, and Hall.

The board fanned out K♠7♦3♠, which led to a bet of 400 from Hall. Mcintosh called, and Hall folded.

Klein kept up the pressure by betting 1,100 on the 4♠ turn. Mcintosh folded as Klein scooped the pot.

Deuce Comes to the Rescue for Childs

Myles Phago

Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

David Childs raised from middle position to 400 and was called by Josef Schneider, who had limped from early position.

The flop came 3♠2♠5x and in a raising war, all the money ended up in the middle.

Josef Schneider: Ax4xAll in
David Childs: 3♥3♣

Schneider had flopped a wheel to crush the set of treys flopped by Childs. The 10♥ was safe for Schneider on the turn, but when the 2♦ came on the river, it gave Childs a full house and sent Schneider to the rail in a nasty way.
