Saved by the River

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Tom Babiarz was in the big blind and led out for 8,000 on a board reading {9-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{2-Spades}{10-Diamonds}. With about 10,000 in the pot, his opponent on the button jammed his stack in the middle and Babiarz called.

To his disappointment, his two pair with {10-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} was no good against his opponent's {j-Hearts}{7-Clubs}, up against a straight.

Sure enough, the river was the {8-Spades} and Babiarz filled up to avoid being eliminated.

Setting the Pace

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

On a board reading {7-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{5-Clubs}, with 10,000 in the pot, Bruce Pace was faced with an all-in bet and he instantly called, tabling {9-Spades}{8-Clubs} for the nuts.

His opponent showed {6-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} for a pair an an inferior straight draw.

The turn was the {9-Spades} and the river was the {k-Clubs}, sending the pot Pace's way and his opponent to the rail.

Queens for the Leading Lady

Level 7 : 400/800, 100 ante

Teresa Lake raised to 1,500 before the flop and a short stack decided to move all in for his remaining 15,000. Lake called.

Lake tabled {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds} while her opponent held {6-Hearts}{6-Clubs}.

The board ran out {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{k-Spades}{9-Spades} and Lake's queens held as she continues to build on her chip lead.
