Trost Dodges Schimelpfenig's Bullet

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Craig Trost
Craig Trost

Craig Trost bet an unknown amount from the big blind on an {a-Clubs}{9-Spades}{j-Clubs}{7-Clubs} board, and Jason Schimelpfenig made it 30,000 in the small blind on a check-raise. Trost decided to call, and an {8-Clubs} brought a four-flush to the community. Schimelpfenig bet 32,000, and Trost quickly called.

"King of clubs?" Trost asked as Schimelpfenig confidently moved to show. It was {k-Clubs}{9-Clubs}, for a flush on the turn.

"Wow, I dodged that bullet," Trost said, turning over {q-Clubs}{3-Clubs}. "I was going to shove in on the turn, but I wanted to get more out of you."

Heckathorn Turns a Lock

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Anselmo Villareal
Anselmo Villareal

Gerald Heckathorn raised to 12,000 in early position and got two calls. The player on the button jammed for about 70,000, and Heckathorn called. The second of the two flat-callers, Anselmo Villareal, called off for 32,000.

Villareal: {4-Diamonds}{4-Spades}
Button: {a-}{k-}
Heckathorn: {5-Hearts}{5-Clubs}

A triple up seemed imminent for the player on the button after a {k-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{6-Hearts} flop, but a {5-Spades} turn meant Heckathorn had turned everyone dead.

Joe Ford busted out at a neighboring table.

Brzozowski Catches Stone on River

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

John Brzozowski opened for 9,000 early and got a call from button Mike Holm. Nik Stone jammed from the big blind, and Brzozowski called off for 47,500, while Holm mucked.

Stone: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}
Brzozowski: {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}

"I was hoping for the race," Brzozowski said.

Stone pulled way ahead as he flopped a pair of aces, but Brzozowski found a {9-Hearts} on the river to take the win.

"You got it in ahead," a disappointed Stone said, accepting his loss. He has a lot of work to do if he wants to repeat his final table run from a year ago.

Steve Verrett bet 21,000 from the cutoff on a completed board of {4-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{7-Hearts}, and Joe Ford was tanking in the cutoff. After another minute or so, he slid in a call.

"You're good," Verrett assured him, tossing {q-Spades}{2-Spades} into the middle.

Ford showed {5-Hearts}{5-Spades}.

"You can be a hero, baby," someone sang.
