Brecher vs. Calenzo

With around 4,500 in the pot and a board reading {A-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}, the player in the big blind checked and Steven Brecher bet 2,200. Kevin Calenzo made the call from the button as the big blind decided to get out of the way. When the {6-Clubs} hit the turn, Brecher checked and Calenzo fired out 3,375. Brecher took his time before throwing in a check-raise to 7,000. Calenzo shook his head in disgust and tossed his cards in the muck.

Georato: {K-Hearts}{K-Spades}

The board ran out {4-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{6-Spades}{9-Spades}{2-Diamonds} to see Georato double to over his starting stack as Moore slips to 37,500 in chips.

Shorr Bests Klodnicki This Time

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

Although Chris Klodnicki looked like he might be running hot against Shannon Shorr as he just recently came from behind to double up, Shorr got this one back.

Shorr raised to 1,000 from under the gun and Klodnicki three-bet to 2,300 from the next seat. Action folded back to Shorr and he made the call.

The flop came down {A-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{5-Clubs} and Shorr checked. Klodnicki bet 1,600 and Shorr called.

The turn went check, check after the {J-Hearts} fell. The river completed the board with the {10-Spades}. Shorr fired 4,100 and Klodnicki mucked his hand.

Lee Barrels Away

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

From under the gun, Bernard Lee raised to 1,075. Shannon Shorr flatted on the button and Peter Mavro called in the big blind before the flop came down {5-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{2-Hearts}. Mavro checked and Lee fired 1,425 as his continuation bet. Shorr called, as did Mavro.

Fourth street was the {9-Spades} and Lee bet 2,750 after Mavro checked. Shorr got out of the way, mucking his hand, but Mavro stuck around with the call.

The river completed the board with the {Q-Diamonds} and Mavro checked. Lee bet 3,100 and Mavro folded, finally giving up on the hand. Lee won the pot and moved to 33,000 in chips.

Cartwright Moved

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

Kyle Cartwright, the WSOP-Circuit superstar, amassed a big stack early, much to the dismay of his tablemates. Lucky for them, Cartwright was recently moved to balance out the tables. Dwyte Pilgrim, Kenny Nguyen, and Traci Brown, all of whom were at the table, were no doubt relieved.

Adams Busts Deeter

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

Trevor Deeter moved all in for 4,175 from middle position on the short stack. Brandon Adams made the call from the button and everyone else folded.

Adams: {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}
Deeter: {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}

The board ran out {Q-}{8-}{2-}{8-}{Q-} and delivered a crushing blow to Deeter, rivering a full house. Adams sent Deeter to the rail and moved to 25,000 in chips.
