$3,500 Championship No Limit Hold’em

End of Level 8: Blinds 300/600/75 ante

Players are on their last break of the day.

Before the end of level 8:

The flop read and seat 2 (sb) checked. Todd Anderson (bb) shoved for ~13k.  Scott Walters called quickly, then seat 1 (button) took some time before folding.  Seat 2 (sb) also took some time, but came to the same decision and released his hand.

Todd rolled over for bottom pair with open-ender.  Scott tabled for flush draw, straight-draw, and gutshot straight-flush draw.  He would win with any diamond, King, Queen, and chop with a 7 — that’s 19 outs, with two cards to come.

The last two cards were complete bricks: .  Todd took the pot with a mere pair of 8s.  Seat 1 said he folded the winner, T9, for top two pair.  Seat 2 said he folded KJ.

Todd chipped up to ~32k and gets the Hard Rock – Hard Fade of the Day!
