Wilson Folds to Brown's Pressure

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

David Brown bet 2,400 on a {5-Clubs}{k-Spades}{8-Spades} flop and was called by Greg Wilson. He kept coming with 5,000 on the {j-Diamonds} turn and was again called. On the {9-Hearts} river, Brown upped the stakes considerably to 15,000. Wilson folded this time.

Players are on a 10-minute break, and green T25 chips are being raced off by the tournament staff.

Friedman Talks Dawson Into Call

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante
Adam Friedman convinced his opponent to call it off.
Adam Friedman convinced his opponent to call it off.

Charlie Dawson check-called 5,500 from Adam Friedman on a board of {4-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{3-Clubs}, and he checked the {5-Spades} river. Friedman instantly announced he was all in, and Dawson leaned back in his chair, now at risk for his last 13,000 or so.

"Ace-high good?" he asked.

"Of course," Friedman responded. "What hand could I possibly represent on that board?"

After the two exchanged a few more words, Dawson announced a call.

"Straight," Friedman said, flipping {5-Hearts}{2-Hearts}.

"Really?" Dawson said, showing {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades} for an overpair. He sent Friedman the rest of his chips.

Tran Survives

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante
Henry Tran survived with king-queen.
Henry Tran survived with king-queen.

A player opened to 2,100 in middle position, and Henry Tran shoved his last 6,375 in. The opener made what looked to be a reluctant call.

Tran: {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}
Opponenth: {j-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

Tran's opponent asked for a miracle, even though he wasn't that far behind, and he flopped a flush draw as the {2-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} hit the board. Unfortunately for him, Tran had top pair, so he needed to complete the draw or go runner-runner. The {7-Spades} turn and {4-Spades} river were both blanks, preserving Tran's tournament.

Steve Galey's king-queen held up.
Steve Galey's king-queen held up.

We found Steve Galey shoving all in for 16,650 in the small blind, and a player who limped from the cutoff decided to make the call after everyone else was out.

Galey: {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}
Cutoff: {8-Spades}{6-Spades}

The board ran out {7-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}, clean for Galey, and he got a hefty double.

Runner-runner for McMillan

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante
Gabriel Greene lost a heap to a backdoor straight.
Gabriel Greene lost a heap to a backdoor straight.

Gabriel Greene and John McMillan each put in 3,000 before the flop in a blind-versus-button battle. Greene bet 2,500 on the {7-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{4-Spades} flop, and McMillan called. On the {10-Hearts} turn, Greene slowed down and check-called 4,000. He checked once more on the {j-Hearts} river, quickly calling McMillan's 8,000 bet.

McMillan showed {9-Spades}{8-Diamonds} for a jack-high straight, and all Greene could do was shake his head and muck.

Gallagher Forces Vang Out

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante

Against two opponents, Kou Vang bet 1,800 on a flop of {9-Hearts}{a-Spades}{3-Spades}. Sheila Gallagher called, while a player who checked out of the blinds folded. Vang fired again on the {7-Clubs} turn, this time 2,425. Gallagher immediately moved all in. Vang smiled and thought for a bit, saying something inaudible before letting his hand go, turning {q-Spades}{9-Spades} face up as he did so.
