Bernard Busts Xu With Ladies

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Haofung Xu was all-in preflop for about 60,000 in the small blind against Alex Bernard, who was in early position.

Alex Bernard: {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}
Haofung Xu: {a-Spades}{10-Hearts}

Xu would need some help, but the {10-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{8-Spades} runout wasn't enough and Bernard collected the rest of Xu's chips.

Saddler Sinks Chernigoff

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Glenn Chernigoff shoved for around 30,000 from early position and action folded around to Dawn Saddler on the button, who also went all in for more. The blinds folded and hands were revealed.

Glenn Chernigoff: {a-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}
Dawn Saddler: {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}

Chernigoff received no help on the {k-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{3-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} runout and he was sent to the rail late in the evening.

Daehler Spikes a King to Eliminate Opponent

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Brayden Daehler opened to 7,000 from the cutoff and was called by the player in the small blind.

It was checked to Daehler on the {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}{9-Diamonds} flop and he bet enough to put his opponent all in for their last 25,000. The player in the small blind quickly called and hands were tabled.

Brayden Daehler: {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}
Small blind: {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades}

Daehler was in rough shape against trips, and the {2-Clubs} turn wasn't any help. However, just as someone announced, "king" at the table, the dealer brought the {k-Hearts} on the river — giving Daehler a full house and eliminating his opponent.

Michael Lerner
Michael Lerner

Four players were all-in preflop. One short stack from early position, Michael Lerner from middle position, another short stack in middle position, and Andrew Voor in the small blind, who had everyone covered.

Michael Lerner: {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}
Andrew Voor: {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}
Short stack #1: {a-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}
Short Stack #2: {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}

The board ran out {a-Spades}{j-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{q-Spades} — leaving Lerner best for the main pot with a set of nines. Voor scooped a small side pot with his two pair.
