Rajesh Vohra Doubles Through Adam Geyer

Rajesh Vohra raised to 21,000 and Adam Geyer called in the small blind. The flop came {3-Spades} {A-Clubs} {4-Spades} and Vohra called Geyer's 15,000 bet. Both players checked the {10-Diamonds} on the turn and when the {K-Diamonds} fell on the river Geyer bet 65,000 and Vohra moved all in for 175,000 more.

Geyer made the call, Vohra showed {K-Spades} {K-Hearts} for the rivered set, and Geyer mucked. Vohra is now up to 420,000 and Geyer fell to 580,000.

Eric Baldwin Makes a Move

Eric Baldwin moved all in preflop for 170,000 and Thanhdat Tran moved in for his remaining 71,000. Ben Sprengers, who had amassed quite a chip stack, shoved all in as well and everyone folded around.

Ben showed pocket jacks while Tran showed pocket queens. Everyone was quite startled when Baldwin showed {7-Clubs} {5-Spades}.

What was even more startling was the possibilities the flop presented when it fell {7-Spades} {4-Hearts} {2-Spades}. The turn brought the {7-Hearts} to give Baldwin trip sevens and both Tran and Sprengers fail to improve on the river.

Tran was eliminated while Sprengers is down to 400,000 after the hand. Baldwin is up to 420,000.

Noah Boeken Doubles Up

Eric Liu raised to 20,000 under the gun and Jon Van Fleet made the call. Noah Boeken moved all in for his last 33,000 and Liu called. Van Fleet then moved all in himself, inducing Liu to fold, and Boeken's {K-Clubs} {6-Clubs} needed help against Van Fleet's {A-Spades} {J-Spades}.

The {7-Spades} {10-Clubs} {Q-Hearts} flop didn't offer much help but the {2-Clubs} on the turn and {9-Clubs} on the river gave Boeken the runner-runner flush and the triple-up.

Eli's Rockets Crash

Eli Elezra was all in with Quoc Vu while holding pocket aces. The flop came {Q-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} and Quoc's Q-10 managed to pick up some outs. Those outs came through as the {10-Diamonds} fell on the turn, giving Vu two pair. The {J-Diamonds} on the river didn't improve Eli and Vu doubled up after the hand.
