Jewell's Roller Coaster Comes to a Crashing End

Lori Bandelloni opened to 12,000 from under the gun, Chip Jett three-bet to 32,000 from the small blind, and Kurt Jewell moved all in for 65,500 from the big blind. The action folded back to Jett, who called, and the hands were opened.

Jett: {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Jewell: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}

It looked as if Jewell's luck was beginning to turn as the flop and turn produced {3-Spades}{2-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}, but remarkably, the {k-Clubs} spiked on the river to eliminate him.

Jewell is suddenly out, while Jett is up to 183,000.

And Jewell Goes Down Again

Level 16 has been very turbulent for Kurt Jewell, who's seen his stack go up, then down, and now very far down.

Jewell opened to 8,500 from the hijack seat, and Charles Saleba three-bet to 34,000 from the big blind. Jewell four-bet to 59,500, and Saleba called.

The flop fell {7-Hearts}{9-Spades}{j-Diamonds}, and Saleba quickly moved all in for 209,000. Jewell snapped it off instantaneously.

Saleba: {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}
Jewell: {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}

Jewell held an overpair, but Saleba could double with a ten or an eight. The turn was another jack - the {j-Spades} - and the {8-Clubs} spiked on the river to give Saleba a straight.

He doubled to 545,000 chips, while Jewell is left with just 76,000.

A Boat for Jewell

Kurt Jewell opened to 12,000 from the hijack seat, Charles Saleba called in the big blind, and the dealer fanned {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{a-Hearts}. Saleba check-called a bet of 9,000, and the turn was the {q-Hearts}. Saleba checked, Jewell fired 15,500, and Saleba called.

The river was the {6-Spades}, and Saleba checked a third time. A relentless Jewell slid forward 40,500, and Saleba called.

Jewell tabled {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds} for queens full, and Saleba mucked his hand.

D'Agata Busts Soleiti

Vanessa Selbst opened to 6,500 in early position and Fabio D'Agata called on the button. Jimmy Soleiti re-raised all for 51,800 forcing a fold from Selbst, but not D'Agata.

Soleiti: {Q-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}
D'Agata: {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}

The board was a fun one, but D'Agata managed to hold up through it as it rolled out {A-Spades}{10-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} to give him the pot.
