Ari Katz was on the button when the player in late position bet 18,000 pre flop. Katz made the call and the small blind went all in for 168,000. The late position player tanked for a while before folding and Katz made the call.
Small Blind: J♦J♣
Ari Katz: A♦Q♦
The board ran out A♥2♥10♣Q♠8♣ and the small blind was eliminated, adding to Katz's growing stack.
Action folded around to the player on the button who raised. Johnny Landreth called from the small blind, and the player in the big blind came along as well.
The flop of Q♦7♣2♦ checked through to the 2♠ turn. Landreth led out with a bet of 16,000 and only the big blind called.
On the 10♠ river, Landreth check-called a bet of 40,000 and turned over the winner with A♦10♥, for a pair of tens. The big blind showed 10♦3♦, for a busted flush draw.
The next hand, middle position raised to 16,000, the cutoff called, Landreth called on the button, and the big blind defended.
The flop came 7♠K♦5♠ and it checked to Landreth, who bet 20,000. Middle position check-raised to 65,000 and Landreth called.
The turn came the 4♠ and middle position check-folded to a bet of 50,000 from Landreth, who scooped back-to-back pots.
Action picked up on the river in a hand between Michele Tocci, in middle position and the player in the big blind.
With about 300,000 in the pot and the board reading 3♣A♠J♣4♠K♥, the big blind checked and Tocci moved all in, putting the big blind at risk, who had roughly 260,000 behind.
The big blind took some time before eventually tossing his cards into the muck.
Steven Wendroff was involved in the dream spot, when he woke up with pocket aces in the big blind and got it all in preflop against the player on the button.
Steven Wendroff: A♣A♥
Button: KxKx
The board ran out Q♥7♣Q♣Q♠2♦ and Wendroff's aces held to win the sizable pot.
After the hand, the dealer had to count out each player's stack and they were identical, with 442,000 each.
