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

Harish Ananthapadmanabha raised to 3,000 from under the gun as action folded around to Ryan Garcia who called in the big blind.

The flop came K♠Q♥6♣ and Garcia led out for 3,500. Ananthapadmanabha quickly called and they saw the 4♠ fall on the turn.

As Garcia continued to chat with his tablemates about Mike Tyson's prowess in his prime, he fired out another 5,500. Ananthapadmanabha this time gave it some thought before folding.

Garcia showed him K♥Q♦ for top two pair as the boxing champion took down the pot.

"Were you ever worried in that hand," a tablemate asked.

"I was worried I wasn't going to get paid," Garcia replied with a laugh as he and Ananthapadmanabha exchanged a fist bump.

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

Three players saw the turn of Q♣8♣6♥10♥, creating a pot of about 40,000. John Cynn was the first to act and fired a bet of 22,000. Both Wayne Nicholsen on his left and the player in position made the call.

When the 3♣ completed the board, Cynn continued to barrel with a bet of 32,000. Nicholsen instantly called and the player behind put his cards in the muck.

Cynn tabled 8♥8♦ for a set of eights and Nicholsen showed his two pair, tabling Q♦10♦.

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

Heads-up to the 7♦6♦5♠2♣ turn, Oliver Bosch checked out of the big blind and Andrew Wall bet 14,500 from two seats over. Bosch called and checked the 10♣ on the river once more.

That prompted a bet worth 22,000 by Wall and Bosch paid it off to get shown the 5♣5♥ for a set of fives, exposing his 10♠6♠ for two pair with plenty of frustration.

Bagosy Builds His Stack; Credits "Farmer Bill"

Dan O'Hair

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

A player in middle position raised to 3,500 and was called by John Bagosy in the big blind.

Bagosy check-called a 7,500 bet from his opponent on the K♠7♥4♠ flop and then check-raised a 14,500 bet from his opponent all in on the 9x turn, which was enough to put his opponent at risk for just under 100,000.

Bagosy's opponent tanked and eventually folded pocket aces face up. Bagosy tabled 9♣7♣ and said he played it for "Farmer Bill" as he collected the pot.

Mizrachi Flops the World

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

Action was picked up on the turn with the board reading 9♥7♣6♣2♦ and a sizable pot already brewing. A player in early position bet 12,000 and Robert Mizrachi made the call from the hijack. A player on the button raised to 42,000 and the early position player called for less, putting himself all in and at risk.

Action was back on Mizrachi, who moved all in for 109,500 sending the player on the button, who slightly covered Mizrachi, deep into the tank. After about a minute the button made the call to put both of his opponents at risk.

Early Position: A♣5♣
Robert Mizrachi: 10♣8♣
Button: 6♠6♦

In what can only be described as a cooler, the button had flopped a set, the early position player had flopped the nut-flush draw and Mizrachi had flopped a straight with a redraw to a straight flush. The river was the 8♠, and Mizrachi's ten-high straight was enough to secure a colossal triple up, eliminating one opponent and catapulting Mizrachi near the top of the counts in the process.

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

Leo Margets sat in the small blind and checked on a flop of 5♠8♣2♣. She was heads up against the player on the button and he made a bet of 6,000 into the pot of 9,000.

Margets thought for a while before putting in the raise to 16,500. The button quickly folded, revealing a 2♠ while doing so, which got a smile out of Margets.

Stout Smacks the Flops on McMahon

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

Chad McMahon's day began with a river suckout. It just ended with a brutal cooler, and not in his favor this time.

McMahon three-bet to 12,000 from the cutoff and Brittney Stout called in early position, as did one other opponent. The flop came 6♣A♦8♣ and McMahon moved all in for 30,000. Stout snap-called while the other player got out of the way.

Chad McMahon: A♣K♠
Brittney Stout: A♠6♠

McMahon had flopped top pair, but Stout had two pair and improved to a full house on the 6♦ turn. The river 5♣ was no help to McMahon and he was sent to the rail.
