Kaverman Badly Clubbed

Level 6 : 250/500, 50 ante

Jackie Glazier opened the action for 1,000 and saw Amit Roshanlal Jain raise to 2,500. Byron Kaverman in the big blind then decided to four bet to 5,300 and with Glazier getting out of the way Jain took a moment to call leaving himself just over 20,000 behind.

The flop came {j-Spades}{q-Spades}{5-Clubs} and Kaverman took less than a minute to check and Jain rather longer to move all in. Kaverman rolled his eyes at the predicament but made the call with {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}. Jain had a suited {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs} too and was soon calling for, “Clubs.” as the {6-Clubs} hit the turn and finally the {j-Clubs} fell on the river to save his tournament life and put a dent in Kavermans stack.

Boeree Hurt In Flip

Level 6 : 250/500, 50 ante
Liv Boeree
Liv Boeree

Team PokerStars Pro Liv Boeree had won a small pot from the big blind when she called a bet of 1,600 by the button on a flop of {2-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{10-Spades} as did another player. All three of them checked the turn {4-Hearts} and river {j-Hearts} and Boeree’s {10-Hearts}{9-Spades} was good. “Nice hand Liv.” Simon Deadman (who has come back from his earlier mishap) offered. A small pot but things were developing nicely until a few hands later when the hi-jack opened for 1,000 and the player in the cut-off made it 2,500.

Boeree cold-four bet to 5,700 and then called a shove of 23,350. Boeree had {a-Spades}{k-Clubs} and had to beat {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades}. It wasn’t to be though as the dealer put out a final {j-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} board. Boeree was left nursing a crippled stack and Deadman kept his counsel.

Boeree Busts

Level 7 : 300/600, 75 ante
Liv Boeree
Liv Boeree

Having lost a big flip in the last level Liv Boeree shoved the last of her 4,800 stack over an open and got called. The Team PokerStars Pro had {a-Spades}{3-Clubs} and was up against {k-Spades}{7-Clubs}.

The flop was {10-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{5-Clubs} and Boeree nodded, perhaps acknowledging that another club could prove fatal. The turn {2-Diamonds} was safe enough but she could not fade the {6-Clubs} river and Boeree took her leave.

Yu Scores Elimination

Level 7 : 300/600, 75 ante

Winfred Yu and an opponent were heads up with the flop reading {6-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}. Yu had first action and led into the middle for 2,500. His opponent wasted little time coming over the top for 6,000 total, suddenly putting Yu to a decision. He opted to call and watched as the {10-Hearts} dropped down on fourth street.

Yu checked the turn and his opponent continued his aggression with a bet of 7,800. Yu check-raised all in and his opponent called for his own tournament life of about 23,000 total.

Yu: {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}
Opponent: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Spades}

Yu's made straight on the turn bested his opponent's pocket queens and Yu officially scored the elimination after the {2-Spades} completed the community cards. With this win, Yu's stack has increased to about 58,000.

Pot For Peters

Level 7 : 300/600, 75 ante

We joined the action as David Peters made a bet of 5,800 on the river of a board showing {q-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{k-Clubs}{a-Clubs}{9-Hearts}. His opponent obviously wasn’t loving it but made the call and when Peters showed his winning {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts} he got shown {a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}.
