Prager's Lovely Ladies

Livello 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Josh Prager raised to 5,000 in first position which saw action fold around to the cutoff who called while Craig Chait came along in the small blind, and the big blind called as well.

The flop of J♠8♠5♥ saw the big blind prematurely check to Prager who prematurely bet 15,000. Chait checked so the bet stood and only the cutoff player called.

On the 5♠ turn, Prager moved all in for 34,000 and the cutoff player called.

Josh Prager: Q♣Q♥
Opponent: Q♠10♣

The river 8♣ did not complete the cutoff's various draws and Prager took down the pot.

Livello 11 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

With the flop reading 10♦9♥8♥, three players were all in. Mitch Garshofsky was at risk in early position for 59,000, as was the middle position player for 67,000. They were covered by the cutoff.

Mitch Garshofsky: 9♦8♦
Middle Position: A♥2♥
Button: Q♦J♥

The button was in the lead with the flopped straight, but middle position had the nut flush draw and Garshofsky had bottom two pair.

The turn was the 10♥ to give middle position the flush, but the button had an open-ended straight flush draw. However, Garshofsky drilled the 10♣ to make tens full of nines to triple up. The middle position player took a small side-pot.
