Oppelt, Harris Tangle Again

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

Lance Harris and Daryl Oppelt have faced off in numerous pots, and it was Oppelt getting the better of their most recent clash. The two saw a {2-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} flop and Oppelt, who raised from a middle position to 2,000, bet 3,500. Harris called and then called another bullet of 5,500 on the {3-Spades} turn. Both checked the {7-Diamonds}, and Harris couldn't beat {a-Clubs}{j-Spades}.

Reichard Loses With KK, then Wins With KK

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

Brett Reichard bet a {k-}{j-}{10-} flop and got raised to approximately 9,000 by Chris Burke. Reichard shoved for 25,300 and got a call from Burke, who had {q-}{7-} for an open-ender. Reichard had top set and needed to fade aces and nines, but a nine showed up on the river to cost him most of his stack.

The next hand, Reichard doubled up with {k-Hearts}{k-Spades} against {a-Spades}{j-Spades}.

Reichard Gets Three Streets

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante
Josh Reichard
Josh Reichard

Josh Reichard bet 1,800 on a {6-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{k-Hearts} flop from under the gun against the big blind. The big blind called and then check-called another 3,000 on the {9-Clubs}. The {3-Hearts} river brought another check and this time the big blind called 5,200, although he thought a little longer this time.

Reichard showed {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds} and won with top two.

At another table, Joel Klipping busted out and has reentered.

Another Monster for De Silva

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante

The player in the big blind bet 3,500 on a board of {7-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{j-Spades}{k-Hearts}{2-Spades} and Sam De Silva made it 10,000 on the button. The first player tanked for about three minutes before calling for most of his stack.

De Silva showed {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} for another flopped boat. The big blind showed {q-}{q-} and mucked. It's at least the second flopped boat for De Silva.

"I know it's not all that clean living," remarked one of the players at the table.

Sztamburski Legs Out a Triple

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

A player made it 1,200 to go on the button and Matt Sztamburski shipped all in for approximately 11,500 in the small blind. The big blind shoved as well for slightly more, and the player on the button called both shoves.

Sztamburski: {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}
Big blind: {a-Spades}{9-Spades}
Button: {7-}{7-}

A queen on the flop all but ended things and Sztamburski tripled up.
