Donald Lohr Takes From Marsel Backa (Event #1)

It folded to Donald Lohr in the small blind who completed to 30,000.  Marsel Backa raised to 180,000, and Lohr called.  

Both players checked the [ad][ac][6c] flop.  

Lohr led for 125,000, Backa raised to 250,000, and Lohr called. 

Both players checked the [qs] river.  

Lohr rivered a straight with [jc][10c].  Backa checked his cards, sighed, and mucked them face down.  
Someone on the rail said, "He got there, he hit the straight."  

Lohr replied, "Where was I going?  I'm not going anywhere."  

Lohr is now sitting with 1,600,000 versus Backa's 800,000 in chips.  

Runner Runner Four Flush (Event #4)

A player in middle position limped in.  Action folded to the player in the cutoff who shoved all in.  James Dabkowski also shoved all in from the big blind, and the player in middle position folded.

Dabkowski:  [5s][5d]
Cutoff:  [as][ks]

The [9d][8d][2c] flop kept Dabkowski's pair of fives in the lead.  But the [ad] on the turn would give his opponent a pair of aces.  The [3d] river gave Dabkowski a flush and the cutoff was left crippled with only 2,500 behind at 15,000/30,000 blinds (5,000 ante).

Joe Hertel Knocks One Out (Event #1, Day 2)

The player on the button shoved all in and was called by Joe Hertel.

Button:  [5s][5h]
Hertel: [9c][9h]

Hertel was in the lead until the flop fell [10s][5c][3s] giving his opponent a set.  But that all changed when the [9d] came on the turn giving Hertel the bigger set.  The [2s] on the river did not improve his opponent's hand and Hertel would knock him out and chip up to 1,100,000.  

We are now down to 24 players.

Peter Wagner Takes One Down (Event 1, Day 2)

Peter Wagner raised to 45,000 on the button and the big blind called.

The flop came [ac][jd][js] and both players checked.  The turn was the [7s] and again, both players checked.

When the river came the [5h] the big blind bet 30,000, and Wagner called.

The big blind announced that he had a five.  Wagner turned over [ks][kh] to take it down with his bigger two pair.

Wagner now has 1,200,000 in chips.

Boat Over Boat in Event #4

On a board reading [10s][5c][2d][10d][5h], Raymond Jones in the cutoff shoved all in for 6,550.  The player on the button went into the tank for a solid two minutes.  He shifted back and forth in his chair and after staring Jones down, eventually threw in a chip to make the call.

Jones turned over [kd][10c].  Seeing he was behind, the player on the button showed [5d][3d] and then threw his cards into the muck.

A player not involved in the hand then told the FoxwoodsPoker.com Blog that Jones had lost the previous hand when he got his aces cracked, and that this hand was him"bouncing back."
