We just posted about the news from the Twitter world in regards to Dan Shak and Todd Terry playing a big pot. Shak was kind enough to let us know that the hand involved with Terry was a blind-versus-blind battle where the two raised back and forth to get all the money in preflop. Shak had pocket jacks and Terry pocket kings. Shak was able to spike a jack on the turn to win the pot and send Terry to the rail.
@toddbterry sorry Todd hate to win that way. Thanks for not mentioning how bad I played. #wantedtogohome #nowhavetogoforthewimSeptember 29 2012Follow
Steve o'dwyer and jen tilly and my starting table, just started 150/300 with the late regSeptember 29 2012Follow
In one of the last hands before the break, with 4,200 in the pot and a flop of 
, J.C. tran bet 2,000 only to have Fowzi Baroukh raised to 5,000 on the button. Tran made the call and then check-called another 5,000 bet on the 
turn. Both players then checked the 
river and Baroukh tabled 
. It was good as Tran simply sent his cards to the muck.
Level: 3
Blinds: 150/300
Ante: 0
Level 2 is in the books, which means it's time for another 20-minute break.
Elie Payan was first to act on the 
flop. He checkedn, then Matt Keikoan checked. Phil Ivey was the third player in the hand, and he fired 1,700. Payan folded, but Keikoan called.
The 
came on the turn, and Keikoan checked. Ivey fired 4,000, Keikoan got the amount verified, then called.
On the river, the 
paired the board. Keikoan checked. Ivey tossed out 10,000, and Keikoan folded.
Elie Payan checked the 
flop, and Leo Boxell fired a bet of 2,000. Phil Ivey was next to act, and he made the call. Joao Martins was behind Ivey and folded. Payan also folded.
The turn was the , pairing the board, but also completing a possible flush draw. Boxell stayed on the gas with a bet of 3,000. Ivey called.
The river was the 
to complete the board, and Boxell bet 5,000. Ivey leaned over to get a look at Boxell's stack, then leaned back to his normal position. After a few moments, he raised to 20,000, which was enough to put Boxell all in. Boxell took a minute, shook his head and folded the 
face up. Ivey didn't show.
Steve O'Dwyer opened for 600 from the hijack and received a call from Sandy Denis in the cutoff. 2005 World Series of Poker Ladies Event champion Jennifer Tilly then put in a three-bet to 2,900 from the small blind, and O'Dwyer opted for a four-bet to 6,900. Denis quickly got out of the way, and Tilly did the same after thinking for about a minute.
It wasn't much of a hand, but it provided us a good excuse to update you on both their chip counts.
With 2,100 in the pot and a 
flop, 2012 Aussie Millions winner Oliver Speidel bet 1,200 from middle position only to have Michel Pomaret raise to 2,725 from the cutoff. Philipp Gruissem was on the button and thought for a few moments before putting in a three-bet to 6,000, which prompted Speidel to quickly fold his hand.
Pomaret then stacked his chips and spiked them in the middle for a four-bet shove to approximately 27,000. Gruissem snap-folded and someone at the table asked him, "What, you didn't believe him?"
