Hand 1:

Season 3 MSPT Canterbury Park champ James Gibson raised to 5,500 from middle position, and the button three-bet to 13,500. Gibson four-bet to 48,000, then called a five-bet shove for 54,000 total.

Opponent:
James Gibson:

“I can smell a queen comin’!” Gibson said. He caught a whiff of something foul, however, as a board instead gave his opponent top set and the double.

Hand 2:

Season 10 MSPT Majestic Star champ Mike Shin raised to 6,000 from middle position, and the button three-bet to 16,000. Shin called.

Shin checked the flop to his opponent, who jammed for 47,500. Shin thought for about thirty seconds, then folded.

Mike Shin - 70,000 (28 bb)
James Gibson - 25,000 (10 bb)
