Massey Doubles with Kings

Action folded to an unknown player in the hijack and he opened for 1,850. Three folds put the action on Aaron Massey in the big blind and he announced a raise to 5,000. The hijack thought for about ten seconds before announcing all in and Massey snap-called off for 17,300 total.

Bigler Busts Sengphet

La Sengphet
La Sengphet

We're not sure of the preflop action, but we do know La Sengphet was all in holding {8-Spades}{6-Spades} and up against the {K-Hearts}{J-Spades} of Chris Bigler. The {7-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} flop didn't hit Sengphet, but it did give her a gut-shot straight draw. Unfortunately for her, neither the {7-Diamonds} turn nor {Q-Hearts} river were what she needed and she was eliminated from the tournament; meanwhile, Bigler is up to 65,000.

Brown Gets Retribution

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

Dantonio Brown exacted a bit of revenge on the player he folded to just moments ago. (See below) The unknown player bet 2,000 on the flop of {10-Hearts} {9-Hearts} {J-Hearts}. Brown raised to 7,000 and was insta-raised all in by his opponent. Brown snap-called and tabled {6-Hearts} {5-Hearts} for the flush. His opponent tabled {K-Clubs} {Q-Spades} for a flopped straight and left the table a bit grumpy.

"Nice catch," he mumbled as he left the table and Brown didn't give him a second look.

Colvin Riding a Wave

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

Matthew Colvin has doubled up twice in the past three hands. He first doubled through Crain holding {8-Hearts} {6-Hearts} and Crain had pocket nines. All the money went in preflop and Crain made a set on the turn, but it gave Crain the flush.

Then he doubled up holding {Q-Clubs} {J-Hearts} vs. {Q-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} on a board showing {6-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts} {10-Clubs} {5-Spades} {J-Spades}. Colvin is up to just over 30,000.

Dolan Doing Work

Former November Nine John Dolan has been making the most of his re-entry. We recently spotted him opening for 1,000 from early position and received a call from an unknown player in the hijack. When the flop fell {9-Clubs}{4-Spades}{7-Spades}, Dolan bet 1,100 and the hijack folded.

It wasn't much of a hand, but it gave us an excuse to mention that Dolan is up to 50,000.

Brown Lays it Down

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante
Dantonio Brown is the far and away chipleader.
Dantonio Brown is the far and away chipleader.

Dantonio Brown and another player went to flop together after both tossing 1,000 preflop. The flop came {9-Hearts} {3-Spades} {J-Spades}, the unknown player bet 2,000 and Brown quickly raised to 6,000.

"Well, let's see the turn," the unknown player said while tossing in a call.

The turn came {Q-Hearts} and the unknown player insta-shoved for around 25,000 and Brown took a long look at him. After a short time Brown folded {K-Spades} {9-Spades} face up and his opponent showed two black tens. Brown looked at him incredulously and seemed to immediately regret his decision to fold.
