Clark Gets a Triple

Level 16 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Scotter Clark
Scotter Clark

Scotter Clark moved all in for 76,000 before getting a call from big-stacked Kevin Berthelsen. Action folded to Bradley Beetz who moved all in himself for nearly 300,000, prompting Berthelsen to fold.

Scotter Clark: {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts}
Bradley Beetz: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}

Beetz had the pirate hooked, but Clark picked up a flush draw on the {8-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} flop. The turn was a blank {6-Diamonds}, but the {9-Hearts} river was just what Clark was looking for to get the triple.

Ziadeh and Garles Click Buttons

Level 16 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Tim Garles opened for 13,000 from the hijack and picked up one caller, Ramon Ziadeh in the big blind.

The flop came out {10-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{2-Spades}. Ziadeh checked to Garles who continued for 20,000. Ziadeh put in the minimum check-raise to 40,000. Back on Garles, he responded with a three-bet to 80,000. After some thought, Ziadeh made the call.

"Big one," said Ziadeh. Garles remained stoic.

The turn was the {7-Clubs}, and both players checked it through.

On the {3-Spades} river, Ziadeh led for 60,000, which sent Garles deep into the tank. After about two minutes, he made the call.

"I've got a ten," said Ziadeh, who showed {10-Spades}{8-Diamonds}.

"It's good," said Garles, who mucked his hand.

The river landed the {3-Spades} and Bekavac quickly bet 108,000 and the big blind released quickly.

Estes Makes a Boat, Grimes Eliminated

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Action picked up on the turn with Jeff Grimes all in on the button on a board of {9-}{10-}{5-}{5-}. Mike Estes had just bet with action on the side, but the third player folded to see the two hands to a runout.

Mike Estes: {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}
Jeff Grimes: {10-Spades}{9-Spades}

Grimes was drawing dead thanks to a cooler flop and Estes added more to his stack.

Morrow Gets a Double

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Albert Morrow
Albert Morrow

David Gutfreund raised to 21,000 from the cutoff before Albert Morrow moved all in from the small blind for 66,000.

"Oh boy," said Gutfreund, pondering his decision. He eventually tossed in a call to put Morrow at risk.

Albert Morrow: {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}
David Gutfreund: {8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}

Any drama was squashed when the {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}{k-Hearts} hit the board, giving Morrow the full house. The {8-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} finished the board and Morrow locked up the double.

Nearby, Mark Lafata was seen heading toward the rail after busting.

Cogliano Moves All In

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Action started on the flop of a three-way pot with about 40,000 in the middle. The board was {10-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{8-Clubs}.

Dallas Schmidt bet 22,000 from the big blind, but quickly ran into an all in from Paul Cogliano in the cutoff. Russell Regan folded the button.

Back on Schmidt, he thought for a while before letting it go and shipping the pot to Cogliano.
