Straight Versus a Set

Level 7 : 400/800, 100 ante

On a flop of {5-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{2-Hearts} in a blind battle, Andrew Donahue got his 15,500 in against small blind Greg Jennings.

Jennings: {2-}{2-}
Donahue: {6-Hearts}{3-Clubs}

Donahue had a straight with a straight flush redraw, while Jennings had a set. The board didn't pair as the {7-Clubs} turn was followed by a {k-Clubs} river, and Donahue doubled through.

Level 7 : 400/800, 100 ante

On a flop of {9-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{7-Hearts}, we didn't see the action, but Mike Rieck put a shorter-stacked player who had about 15,000 at risk.

Rieck: {q-Hearts}{10-Hearts}
Opponent: {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}

The turn was a {j-Diamonds}, locking up the hand for Rieck.

Nye Busts a Pair

Level 7 : 400/800, 100 ante

A player opened for 1,200 in early position, and a middle player jammed for 4,675. Jonathan Nye made the call in the small blind, and Tim Woodson shoved in the big for 15,525 more. Action folded to Nye, and he thought for about a minute and dropped in calling chips.

Nye: {6-Hearts}{6-Clubs}
Woodson: {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}
Middle position: {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs}

The dealer spread a flop of {7-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{5-Hearts}.

"Ya'll are open-ended," Woodson observed.

Nye binked the {6-Spades} on the turn to make a winning set, and the river was an {a-Spades}.

"It's hard to make money if they don't have the best hand," Nye remarked after the hand. "Otherwise, they don't wanna put anything in the pot."

Terry Karn put in 3,000 after one player checked a {10-Hearts}{7-Spades}{6-Clubs} flop. A third player folded, and the player who checked jammed for about 9,000. Karn called with a stack that barely covered his opponent.

Karn: {q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}
Opponent: {j-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}

Karn had his opponent crushed and the queen kicker held up as the turn was a {5-Hearts} and the river an {8-Spades}.
