Rhodes Gets Bazeley Out

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

Jacob Bazeley opened for 450 in middle position and received calls from Brad Rhodes on the button and the player in the small blind. Bazeley's continuation-bet of 850 was called by just Rhodes on the {5-Hearts}{2-Spades}{4-Hearts} flop, and he bet another 2,250 on the {q-Spades} turn. Rhodes raised this time, to 5,125, and Bazeley let it go.

Rodriguez Wins Roller Coaster Hand

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

With just 1,300 in the pot on the {a-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{8-Spades} flop, a series of raises resulted in Juancho Rodriguez getting all in with {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts} against the {9-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} held by an opponent. Rodriguez's opponent turned a flush as the {q-Diamonds} hit the board, but it was Rodriguez taking the pot with a boat as another queen, the {q-Spades} followed it.

Patel's High Card Good for Triple Up

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante
Neil Patel
Neil Patel

We found Neil Patel all in before the flop for his last 5,550, having been call in two spots. The dealer put down a board of {5-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} as the two active players quickly checked down.

"I can't catch anything besides my f****** breath," one of the players said, tossing {k-Clubs}{10-Spades} into the middle.

"You have a pair?" Patel asked the third player, who shook his head. "Ace-king."

Patel's unpaired hand had somehow held up, and he is back near the starting stack.

A player under the gun bet 1,125 on an {8-Hearts}{j-Spades}{a-Spades} flop, and the hijack made the call. Brad Rhodes popped it to 2,800 on the button, and only the player in the hijack came along. Rhodes pushed all in, putting his opponent at risk for about 6,000 on the {q-Clubs} turn. The player in the hijack showed a {q-Diamonds} and folded.

Players are on a 10-minute break.

Putting a Hertin' On 'Em

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Ken Hert bet 3,000 after two players checked to him on an {a-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{q-Spades} flop, and only the player under the gun called. On the {2-Spades} turn, the under-the-gun player check-called 5,000 more. An {a-Clubs} completed the board, and the first player led out for 4,000. Hert put him all in for about 5,500 more, and the player thought it over for a minute before tossing in his chips.

Hert showed {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} for top boat and took the pot.
