Rice Flops Trips, Gets it All

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

Action started on the flop with two players looking at a board of {j-Spades}{8-Clubs}{j-Clubs}.

Loren Rice was first to act and led out for 15,000 from out of position. His opponent moved all in for 62,000 total.

Rice had him covered, and he gave it some thought, but he did make the call.

Opponent: {a-Spades}{8-Spades}
Loren Rice: {j-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}

Rice had his opponent crushed, and he held up on the {q-Hearts} turn and {4-Clubs} river.

Clark Finds the Call

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante
Scotter Clark
Scotter Clark

Action picked up on the turn in a heads-up pot. The board showed {9-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{8-Clubs}.

Ryan Phan bet out 15,000 from the blinds, and in late position, Scotter Clark made the call.

The river fell the {3-Diamonds} and Phan moved all in, enough to cover the stack of about 80,000 that Clark had behind.

"Just picking on the short stack, aren't you," Clark said out loud. After thinking for about a minute, Clark flicked in a chip for a call.

"You're good," said Phan as he showed {9-Clubs}{7-Clubs}.

Clark turned over {k-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} for top pair that he held on with to score the double.

Stefan Takes Two Out, Catapults Near Top of the Leaderboard

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Sarah Stefan
Sarah Stefan

A player in early position moved all in for 19,500 and action folded to Sarah Stefan. She three-bet up to 50,000 in middle position. Everyone folded until action was on the big blind. He thought about it for a while, but decided to go with his hand for slightly less than the 50,000.

Early position: {a-Spades}{3-Spades}
Big blind: {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}
Sarah Stefan: {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}

With three aces out there, it was battle of the kickers and Stefan's was best.

The flop hit no one when the {5-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{10-Clubs} came out. The turn drilled the shortest stack when the {3-Spades} hit. Stefan came back on the river when the {k-Spades} fell, giving her the best hand and sending two to the rail.

Clark's Sailboats Carry Him to a Double

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

Action picked up with Scott Clark raking chips after having just played a big flip. Two players got all their chips in the middle preflop and Clark was at risk.

Scott Clark: {4-Spades}{4-Diamonds}
Opponent: {a-}{k-}

Lots of paint hit the board on the {q-Clubs}{j-Spades}{6-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}, but that just meant Clark improved to a full house and secured the double.

Nick Haywood
Nick Haywood

A middle position player limped, prompting the button to limp as well. Nick Haywood was happy to check his big-blind option and see a free flop.

The dealer laid out {5-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{9-Clubs} and action checked to the button who bet 3,000. Nick Haywood went for the check-raise to 10,000. The button called.

On the {8-Spades} turn, Haywood bet 12,000. The button thought for a bit, but decided to lay it down.

Angela Jordison
Angela Jordison

Angela Jordison and her opponent had just got all their chips into the middle preflop about 125,000 total, Jordison had her opponent covered by a bit.

Opponent: {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}
Angela Jordison: {q-Hearts}{q-Spades}

No ace came on the flop {10-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{j-Spades}, but Jordison now had to dodge a king as well. The turn was the {9-Diamonds}, adding chop outs to the list. The river was the final queen, the {q-Clubs}, to give Jordison the set and the knockout.
