Pierce Doesn't Get There

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

Two players limped in for 200 apiece and Paul Pierce made it 1,000 to go. It was folded around to the limpers who both called. The flop came {J-Spades}{8-Hearts}{5-Hearts} and it was checked around.

The turn was the {10-Spades} and the first limper checked. The second limper bet 2,500. Pierce rubbed his hands together and said "I just call" as he placed some chips into the middle. The first limper called as well.

The river was the {10-Clubs} and it was checked around. The turn bettor turned over {K-Hearts}{J-Hearts} for jacks and tens and Pierce showed {K-Spades}{Q-Spades} for a turned royal flush draw that didn't get there. Despite the loss, Pierce has chipped up nicely from his early slow start.

Litvinov Flops It

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

We joined the action to see Artem Litvinov all in on the river for 27,250 of a board reading {a-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{2-Spades}{j-Spades}{7-Spades}. His opponent had called and Litvinov showed him the {5-Hearts}{4-Spades} flopped straight to get a double up and leave his opponent, who mucked his cards, short.

Litvinov often likes to be the table captain and the center of attention, but right now it is impossible for anyone to get a word in edgewise as Little Drop for One Drop runner-up Theodore Driscoll has barely paused to breathe. He informed the table that he had just in fact had a congratulatory text from All American Dave. Headphones are a popular choice at this table.

Salsberg Straightened Out

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

A player limped in on the button, Matt Salsberg raised out of the small blind, and Zakeri Behman called in the big blind. The button limper called as well, and Salsberg led out for 1,100 on a flop of {10-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{8-Clubs}. Only Behman called.

The turn was the {9-Spades}, Salsberg check-called a bet of 1,500 from Behman, and the {k-Diamonds} completed the board.

Salsberg checked, the player tossed out 3,000, and Salsberg tanked for roughly 90 seconds before calling. Behman rolled over {7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} for a straight and was pushed the pot.

Waxman bet 4,500 and was called, and the turn brought an {a-Hearts}. The big blind checked, and Waxman silently put out a T5,000 chip. The big blind gave up his hand.
