Yen Stacks One

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Alex Yen has heaps early in Level 10.
Alex Yen has heaps early in Level 10.

We found the cards on their backs at Alex Yen's table, as he was in the small blind and had put the player on the button at risk before the flop.

Yen: {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}
Opponent: {q-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

The player was already walking away from the table, and the {k-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{k-Spades} flop gave him no reason to pause. A {9-Spades} turn did so though, as it gave him a straight draw, but a {3-Diamonds} river signaled the end.

Yen now has one of the top stacks in the room.

Pupillo's Set Takes a Big One

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Nicholas Pupillo found a great spot to flop bottom set.
Nicholas Pupillo found a great spot to flop bottom set.

A player in middle position bet 5,000 after the big blind checked a {k-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{j-Spades} flop. Daniel Greer called, and Nicholas Pupillo made it 16,000 on the button. The big blind folded, and the initial bettor shoved all in for approximately 65,000. Greer folded, and Pupillo called immediately, putting his opponent at risk.

Pupillo: {4-Diamonds}{4-Spades}
Opponent: {k-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}

It was an unfortunate flop for Pupillo's foe, as top two was no good against a set. The {3-Diamonds} and {5-Spades} finished out the board.

Roger Kamuf
Roger Kamuf

Roger Kamuf bet 8,000 on the end on a board of {j-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{4-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}. Michael Sumner moved all in for just 13,000, and Kamuf reluctantly called. Sumner showed {4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} for a flopped boat, while Kamuf tossed {2-Clubs}{2-Spades} into the middle.

At another table, Brad Rhodes went bust.

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Russell Amboree shoved at the wrong time.
Russell Amboree shoved at the wrong time.

Russell Amboree called a raise to 3,100 from Steve Anderson and then checked an {8-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{8-Spades} flop. Anderson tossed 5,000 in.

"What is that, a bet?" Amboree said after a moment. The dealer confirmed it was. "I'm all in."

Anderson leaned back in his seat and got a count. He made the call for 24,500 more.

Amboree: {4-Diamonds}{4-Spades}
Anderson: {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

Anderson was miles ahead, and neither the {5-Hearts} turn nor the {2-Diamonds} river saved Amboree.
