Wazwaz Uses the Clock

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante
Mario Hudson forced Rob Wazwaz to fold.
Mario Hudson forced Rob Wazwaz to fold.

Rob Wazwaz bet 7,000 out of the big blind after a {k-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{4-Spades} flop, and Mario Hudson in middle position was the only caller. The {8-Spades} hit the turn, and Wazwaz checked. Hudson bet 10,000, and Wazwaz went deep into the tank, muttering something we couldn't hear every now and then as he thought for at least three minutes. Finally, a player called the clock. Wazwaz continued tanking before finally letting his hand go at the end of the countdown.

Hudson said he had a set, while Wazwaz claimed to have held top pair.

Hovden Rivers a Set

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante

A player on the button shoved all in for 6,150 after an early position raise and two calls. After the blinds folded, the three players with money already in the pot all called. Everyone checked to the river, when the board read {4-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{7-Clubs}. Two more checks ensued, then Daryl Hovden bet 16,000. The two active players quickly folded, and Hovden showed {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} for a rivered set. The button tabled {a-}{q-} for ace-high before exiting the table.

Jerry Gumila bet 1,250 on a {9-Spades}{7-Spades}{4-Clubs} flop from the big blind. David Gutfreund called in early position, and the two saw a {10-Clubs} turn.

Gutfreund: {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}
Gumila: {9-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}

Gutfreund's kings took the pot.

Players are now on a 10-minute break.

After some betting-related confusion that we didn't see, Terry Ring got his last 10,000 or so all in from the big blind with the board reading {5-Spades}{j-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{9-Spades}. Tom Orr called on the button, and a third player was already all in on the flop.

Orr showed {a-Spades}{q-Spades} for the nuts, and the third player had {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}.

"I need help," Ring said, rapping the table before turning over {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} for a set.

The {4-Clubs} failed to pair the board for Ring, and Orr collected everyone's chips.

Hayes Making Headway

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

John Hayes just won a preflop all in with {a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} against a shorter stack's {6-Spades}{6-Clubs} when the board came {9-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{5-Spades}{8-Clubs}. He's turned things around quickly since being down to 5,000 and doubling up last time we checked on him, as he has nearly double the starting stack now.
