Lederer Shipping It

Level 5 : 2,500/5,000, 400 ante

Howard Lederer open-shipped from under the gun and found a series of folds from his table.

On the following hand, James Bord entered the pot with a raise to 13,000 only to have Lederer move all in from the big blind for 50,600.

Bord folded, and Lederer collected the pot.

Lederer Surging

Level 5 : 2,500/5,000, 400 ante

Howard Lederer moved all in - for the third hand in succession - from the small blind.

"If you can show me a worse hand then this . . ." stated Boatman before trailing off and showing his {8-Spades}{2-Clubs} before mucking.

Lederer is now approaching the 70,000-chip mark following his back-to-back pushes.

Antonius Finds Double

Level 5 : 2,500/5,000, 400 ante
"Thanks for that Barny!"
"Thanks for that Barny!"

Barny Boatman made it 12,000 from the button only to have Patrik Antonius move all in for 31,100 more from the big blind.

"I think you should call!" stated Lederer.

"Sometimes you've just gotta man up!" he continued before Boatman continued deliberating before eventually pushing in the chips to call.

Boatman: {K-Spades}{10-Hearts}
Antonius: {A-Hearts}{7-Clubs}

With Antonius in the lead, the {A-Clubs}{J-Spades}{6-Hearts} flop kept him in the lead, but gave Boatman outs to a straight.

The {8-Spades} on the turn changed little, and as the {10-Diamonds} landed on the river, Antonius doubled through to 90,000 as Boatman slipped to 135,000 and change.

Antonius Forced to Fold

Level 5 : 2,500/5,000, 400 ante

Patrik Antonius entered the pot first to speak with a raise to 11,000 only to have David Oppenheim tank for near on a minute before folding.

Barny Boatman leant over to eye up Antonius' stack before making the call from the small blind as James Bord made the call from the big.

The flop fell {9-Hearts}{3-Spades}{3-Clubs} and the action was checked to Antonius who opted to fire out 13,000. Boatman again eyed Antonius stack before splashing the pot with a raise to 26,000. Bord passed as Antonius went deep into thought with his left hand covering his mouth, and right hand shuffling 40,000-worth of yellow 5,000-denomination chips.

Just over ninety seconds went by before Antonius made the call as the {5-Diamonds} landed on the turn and Boatman responded by moving all in.

Antonius mucked while slipping to roughly 50,000 in chips.

Ace-High Double for Oppenheim

Level 6 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante
David Oppenheim happy at a double
David Oppenheim happy at a double

Barny Boatman made it 16,000 from the cutoff only to have David Oppenheim three-bet shove for 44,500 total. Boatman made the call as the cards were on their backs.

Boatman: {J-Clubs}{8-Clubs}
Oppenheim: {A-Hearts}{6-Clubs}

The {2-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} flop changed little apart from giving Boatman backdoor outs to a flush. The {K-Spades} on the turn left Oppenheim needing to fade just a jack or an eight, and when the {5-Hearts} landed on the river, he doubled through to 110,000 in chips.

Patrik Pushing

Level 6 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

Patrik Antonius pushed all in - for the second consecutive hand - and just like previously, picked up the blinds and antes with no contest.

His 39,000-chip stack has now grown to 62,000 following his last two pushes.
