Baptista Chips Up in Showdown

Level 9 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

In a three-bet pot to the {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} flop with 78,500 in the middle, Duarte Baptista checked and John Riordan checked back. Neither of the two then invested any further chips on the {j-Diamonds} turn and {4-Diamonds} river. Baptista turned over his {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{q-Clubs} and that won the pot as Riordan tossed his cards into the muck.

Saad Doubles Through Marsico

Level 9 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

On a heads-up flop of {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{j-Clubs}, the stacks of Anthony Marsico and Thomas Saad went into the middle as the latter was the player at risk for 238,500.

Thomas Saad: {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{9-Clubs}
Anthony Marsico: {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{5-Spades}

"I thought you had that kind of hand," Saad said in table chat and vaulted out of his chair. Neither the {5-Hearts} turn nor the {9-Spades} river were a threat and he had reason to celebrate.

Kronwitter Loses a Couple

Level 9 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Action was on the river as the board read {10-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{j-Spades}{7-Spades}. From under the gun, John Riordan bet the pot which was 63,500. Jonas Kronwitter had the decision on him from the hijack.

After taking almost the entire 30 seconds he called. Riordan showed the {a-Spades}{7-Clubs}{8-Spades}{j-Hearts} for the winning hand.

The next hand the flop read {k-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{j-Hearts}. Dylan Weisman jammed his remaining 26,500 and Kronwitter called.

Weisman had a pair and a straight draw with the {k-Spades}{q-Spades}{q-Hearts}{8-Hearts} while Kronwitter had the {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{5-Spades}. The turn was the {6-Diamonds} and the river came the {9-Spades} to give Weisman a straight and keep him alive.

Lee Wins Three-Way Pot

Level 9 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Three ways to the {10-Hearts}{9-Spades}{2-Clubs} flop, Ben Diebold checked in the big blind and so did Ap Garza in the hijack. Chris Lee on the button bet 20,000 and received a single caller in Garza, who then checked the {j-Spades} turn. Lee now made it 85,000 to go and that won the pot right there.
