Napierala Check-Blasts on the Flop

Level 6 : 300/600, 0 ante

With 4,200 in the pot, six players saw a {9-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{8-Spades} flop. The first five players to act all checked, including Blake Napierala sparking the player on the button to bet 3,000. The player in the small blind made the call but both folded quickly when Napierala check-raised to 16,000.

Desabio Doubles Through Roberts with Quads

Level 5 : 200/400, 0 ante

Mark Roberts bet 7,700 on the turn of a {4-Spades}{9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} board and Sam Desabio called. The {k-Spades} completed the board and Roberts bet 10,000, enough to put Desabio all in. Desabio called and quickly turned over the {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{10-Spades} flopping quads and a shocked Roberts tabled two kings, rivering the second nuts.
