Niveau 21

No-Limit Hold'em

Chad Eveslage raised to 50,000 from under the gun and Dustin Dirksen three-bet to 200,000 on the button. The call by Eveslage followed and they headed to the Q♣8♠5♠ flop on which Dirksen applied maximum pressure with a shove. Eveslage called and Dirksen instantly asked "do you have queens?"

Chad Eveslage: K♣K♥
Dustin Dirksen: A♠K♠

Dirksen had one overcard to go with his nut flush draw but failed to get there on the 5♥ turn and Q♦ river. Eveslage doubled for 1,005,000 and jumped into the lead.

Freeman and Boyd Chop a Pot

zedmaster84

Niveau 20

Stud Hi-Lo Regular

Zack Freeman: 2♠3♠9♣ / 4♦J♦5♥3♥
Dutch Boyd: 8♣7♦6♠ / A♠9♥2♣J♣

Dutch Boyd bet fourth street to get called by Zack Freeman and bet fifth again, then calling a raise by Freeman. They checked sixth and Freeman checked seventh as well. Boyd pondered whether or not to bet and checked behind. His low was good as Freeman only had a pair to go with a nine-five.

The game then switched to Pot-Limit Omaha High but the action remained rather calm.

Boyd Scoops Dirksen

Niveau 20

Pot-Limit Omaha 8 or Better

Dustin Dirksen raised to 40,000 and Dutch Boyd called on the button. Ari Engel gave it some thought and folded in the big blind. On a flop of K♣6♦5♠, Dirksen check-called for 60,000 and inquired "how much do you got over there, Dutch?" after which his opponent cut out the big chips in front.

Dirksen checked the 10♣ turn and then called another 200,000 by Boyd, which led them to the A♣ river. The action went check, check, and Dirksen tabled the A♦8♦8♠2♠ for a pair of aces and busted nut low draw.

Boyd revealed K♥K♦4♥3♠ for a set of kings and second nut low to scoop the entire pot.
