Johnny World Knocked Down a Peg

Level 9

Hold'em

Facing a pre-flop raise on the button, John Hennigan three-bet, and his opponent called. The flop fell {q-Clubs}{6-Spades}{8-Spades}, and action checked to Hennigan, who bet out. His opponent check-raised him, and Hennigan called. On both the {9-Spades} turn and the {2-Diamonds} river, Hennigan called bets from his opponent, who then showed {a-Spades}{j-Spades} for the nut flush. Hennigan mucked his cards.

Johnny World is now down to 19,000.

Kravchenko Takes a Hit

Level 8

Stud Eight or Better

Before the break, Alex Kravchenko paid the bring-in with a {3-Diamonds} showing. An opponent raised with {a-Spades}, and Kravchenko called. Kravchenko called on every street when his opponent bet out, and after the river the players boards read:

Kravchenko: {x-}{x-}{x-}/{3-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}
Opponent: {9-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{2-Spades}/{a-Spades}{8-Spades}{7-Clubs}{7-Hearts}

Kravchenko mucked, and his opponent scooped the pot, winning the high with a pair of sevens and the low with an eight-low. Kravchenko is now down to 5,000.

Waxman Mucks to a Straight

Level 8

Hold'em

Matt Waxman, on the button, bet the turn in a raised pot on a {k-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} board. The player in the small blind called, and the dealer brought out the {j-Diamonds} river. Both players checked, and the small blind showed {q-Spades}{10-Spades} for a rivered gutshot straight.

"Pffff," Waxman said, mucking his cards.

"You got lucky he didn't bet fourth street," one of the other players jokingly said to the small blind.

Boyd Nearly Down to Felt

Level 8

Stud

We found Dutch Boyd with a good portion of his stack in the middle during a stud hand.

Boyd: {k-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{7-Spades}{10-Spades}
Opponent: {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{4-Hearts}{2-Clubs}

Boyd called a final bet from his opponent on seventh street, and his opponent turned over {a-}{q-}{3-} for aces up. He said he caught the queen on the end, and Boyd's left with just a few bets.

Mercier Getting Short

Level 8

Stud

We found Jason Mercier contemplating a bet on seventh street.

Mercier: {10-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}
Opponent: {a-Spades}{9-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}

Mercier thought for awhile, showed an {a-Diamonds}, then folded. His opponent rolled over {k-Spades}{k-}{j-} for aces up, indicating that Mercier had indeed made the correct decision.
