Level 5 : 300/600, 600 ante

The cutoff opened to 1,400 and Maurice Hawkins defended the big blind.

"We have the same hand," said Hawkins.

"Should we just chop it now then?" Responded the cutoff.

The dealer brought out the A♥J♥J♦ flop and Hawkins checked.

"I checked, he checks, go to to the turn," Hawkins continued.

However, the cutoff did not check as he tossed a bet of 1,000 across the line. Hawkins called.

The Q♥ hit the turn and Hawkins checked again while saying, "we have the same hand, free river." This time his opponent checked back.

The 9♦ fell on the river and Hawkins led for 3,300.

"Now we play the game of do you believe me."

After a few moments, it seemed the cutoff did believe him as he tossed his cards into the muck.

Hawkins showed one of his cards, tabling the J♣ and mucked the other.

Level 5 : 300/600, 600 ante

A completed board of 7♦5♠2♥J♠K♦ was spread across the felt with a little over 30,000 in the middle. Joseph Ritzie led out with a bet of 16,500 after also leading out on the turn. Brittney Stout was sitting on his left and jammed all in as the bigger of the two stacks.

"Oh god," Ritzie said being put to the test for his last 47,000 chips.

"You can call me Brittney, actually," Stout reminded him but she couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Ritzie went into the tank and tried to get a read on Stout by talking to her. "I don't know what you want me to say. I'm all in, I can't do anything else," Stout continued as she tied her hoodie tight around her face.

Ritzie eventually laid his hand down, noting that he folded seven-five for two pair. Stout also showed her hand with K♥J♥ going face up into the middle of the table.

In a heads-up pot with about 3,500 in the middle, the flop read A♦3♣4♣, and Andy Moc checked to Arthur Ohannessian who put in a bet of 1,200. Moc made the call.

The J♦ fell on the turn and Moc check-folded to another bet of 3,500 from Ohannessian.

David Salituro

Level 5 : 300/600, 600 ante

Russell Crane was in the cutoff and three-bet to 8,000 before the flop. An opponent under the gun called as they went heads-up to the 9♠6♦2♣ flop.

Crane now fired out another 9,000 and his opponent called to the J♠ turn, where he checked over to Crane again. Crane assembled a bet of 18,000 this time and threw it into the middle, eliciting a quick fold from his opponent as Crane climbed up to 150,000 near the end of the night.
