Pearljammer Scores The Double Knockout

tayke2

We caught the action on a flop of all hearts, reading {6-Hearts} {8-Hearts} {k-Hearts} . Jon "Pearljammer" Turner bet out 2,400, and he got calls from Elio Fox on the button, and Matt Glantz, who was under the gun.

The turn came the {10-Clubs} , and the sparks starting flying. Turner bet out 6,900, and Fox called again. This time, Glantz moved all in for 11,150 more, and it was back to Turner. He shoved all in, having both players covered, and Fox snap called for the rest of his stack! All three clearly had big hands, but when the cards were tabled, we saw that Fox had the best of it.

Fox: {a-Hearts} {10-Hearts}
Glantz: {q-Hearts} {j-Hearts}
Turner: {8-Spades} {8-Diamonds}

"Pair the board!" Turner asked the dealer, and sure enough, the {k-Diamonds} slammed down on the river, giving Turner eights full of kings. Turner scored the massive double knockout, while Fox and Glantz headed to the rail.

Masek Taken Out

tayke2

Alexandru Masek was grinding a shortish stack last time we saw him, and we just noticed that his seat was empty. We took to the twitter world to see if we could find the details, and this is what we found.

PujolsOfPokr Alex Masek ...and busto QQ<AK for 22k pot to get back in it. Running about standard for the wsop July 06 2012

Masek finished 2nd at the WSOP-C Main Event in Los Angeles in January to Freddy Deeb. That cash was good enough for over $106,000. He also cashed in the Main Events at Council Bluffs, St. Louis, and Rincon.
