Break it Up

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

The Doobie Brothers' "Without Love" has just come blaring through the speakers, and we can only assume that means it's time for a break. Two levels are down, and those who've avoided donking off their stacks are headed off for 15 minutes.

Full House for Katchalov

Christian Cipriano checked the paired board of {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} to Team PokerStars Pro Eugene Katchalov. Katchalov bet 2,200 and Cipriano called.

The river was the {10-Spades} and Cipriano checked. Katchalov bet 4,500 and Cipriano called.

Bach That Thing Up

David Bach opened the pot with an early-position raise, and he found action in three places. On the {9-Spades} {J-Clubs} {J-Spades} flop, everyone checked to the last man, Benjamin Dobson. He bet 900 at the pot, and both Alessandro Chiarato and Bach called to see the turn with the fourth player ducking out. It came the {4-Spades}, and now Bach fired out with 2,525 of his own. Chiarato would check-fold, but Dobson came along to the last card, the blank {2-Hearts}. Another 7,000 chips came from Bach's stack into the pot, and Dobson asked the dealer to spread the pot before surrendering.
