Hand #100 - Michael Martin

Michael Martin has the button in Seat 2. Denes Kalo raises to 100,000 and Michael Martin calls. The flop is {5-Clubs}{2-Spades}{2-Diamonds} and both players check. The turn is the {K-Spades} and both check again. The river is the {8-Spades}. Check-check again. Martin shows {A-Spades}{J-Hearts}, besting Kalo's {A-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} and he wins the pot.

Hand #97 - Glen Chorny

The button is with Glen Chorny in Seat 7.

Chorny is first into the pot with a limp from the button, Isaac Baron completes and Denes Kalo checks his option from the big blind.

The flop comes {7-Clubs}{A-Clubs}{6-Clubs} and all three players check. The turn is the {7-Spades}. Baron bets out 100,000 and Kalo calls before Chorny raises another 300,000 in position from the button. Baron calls and Kalo folds.

{8-Spades} on the river and Baron checks to Chorny who fires out another 300,000 chip bet. Baron calls.

Chorny shows {K-Clubs}{9-Clubs} for the flopped nut flush and amazingly Baron shows {J-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for a smaller flush!

Hand #96 - Maxime Villemure

Maxime Villemure has the button in Seat 6. He raises to 100,000 and Isaac Baron calls from the big blind. The flop is {Q-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{2-Spades} and both players check. The turn is the {Q-Spades}. Baron bets 255,000 and Villemure calls. The river is the {7-Hearts}. Baron checks, Villemure bets 425,000, Baron calls himself an idiot out loud for betting too much on the turn and folds.

Hand #95 - Michael Martin

The button is with Luca Pagano in Seat 3.

Denes Kalo opens with a raise to 120,000 before Michael Martin reraises it up to 450,000 total. Kalo thinks for a moment and lays down his hand.

Hand #93 - Denes Kalo

The button is with Denes Kalo in Seat 1.

Isaac Baron raises it up to 115,000 before Denes Kalo announces a reraise of an additional 225,000. The action folds around to Baron who also folds, and Kalo scoops the pot.
