Pecnik Doubles

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Chris Moorman opened to 12,500 preflop and was called by Howard Lederer and Martin Pecnik as the {10-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} flop saw Pecnik commit his remaining 69,000 over Moorman's 23,000-chip continuation-bet.

Moorman made the call tabling his {A-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} to be trailing Pencik's {Q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}.

The turn and river landed the {8-Hearts} and {5-Clubs} to see Moorman brick his monster draw and double Pencik to 205,000 in chips.

Jeff Rossiter

On the monotone flop of {9-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}, Jeffrey Rossiter, Roman Zoch and Patrik Antonius all checked to see a fourth diamond in the form of the {3-Diamonds} fall on the turn. Rossiter and Zoch checked before Antonius bet 12,000. Rossiter raised to 35,000 and won the pot. He moved to 360,000 in chips with this pot.

Antonius Busts Morris and Gets a Job Offer

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Patrik Antonius raised from the cutoff seat to 12,000 and Simon Morris moved all in from the button for 57,500. Antonius made the call.

Antonius: {2-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}
Morris: {A-Spades}{8-Diamonds}

"Good luck," commented Antonius and Morris thanked him.

The board ran out {8-Spades}{3-Clubs}{2-Spades}{J-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} and Antonius' full house did the deed. Morris hit the rail as Randy Dorfman asked Antonius, "How do you run so good in life?"

Antonius smiled and collected his chips as Dorfman went on, "I want you to be my life coach. Name your price."

We're guessing that would be one heck of a price.

Smith Flushed with Success

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Elliot Smith opened to 11,500 in the cutoff only to have Tyler Bonkowski three-bet the button to 30,000.

Smith opted to bump it to 61,500 with Bonkowski making the call as the {J-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{K-Hearts} flop was checked by Smith. Bonkowski fired out 52,000 with Smith making the call before the {3-Clubs} on the turn was checked through.

When the river landed the {Q-Diamonds}, Smith again checked as Bonkowski pushed all in.

Smith double-fist-pump-snap called and slammed down his {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} to best Bonkowski's {A-Clubs}{10-Clubs}.

As Smith's flopped flush saw him collect the pot to move to 615,000, Bonkowski slips to roughly 315,000 in chips.

Antonius: {K-Hearts}{10-Spades}
Healy: {A-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}

Menz Battles Lindgren

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

From the button, David Menz entered the pot with a raise to 12,000 only to have Erick Lindgren three-bet to 28,000 from the big blind.

Menz made the call and was faced with a 32,000-chip continuation-bet on the {8-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} flop before he opted to slid in a raise to 81,000.

LIndgren made the call before checking the {5-Clubs} on the turn as Menz pushed for what remained of his stack.

With Lindgren in the tank for many minutes, he asked, "You going to show if I fold?"

As Menz gave no response, Lindgren kicked his cards to the muck while slipping to 370,000 in chips as Menz moves to over 700,000.

It's a Chopped World for Ace-King

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Mark Vos
Mark Vos

From early position Hiren Patel opened to 12,500 only to have Mark Vos three-bet to 31,500 from the small blind.

With the action on Patel, he pushed for what remained of his 120,000-chip stack as Full Tilt Poker Red Pro Vos made the call.

Patel: {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}
Vos: {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}

With a likely chop on the cards, the {Q-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} flop saw Patel claim a potential backdoor flush draw, and as the {10-Clubs} landed on the turn, any club would see him snag the entire pot instead of his entitled half.

Fortunately for Vos, the {9-Diamonds} landed on the river to see the big blind and antes chopped up and split between the two.

Kirk Building with a River Shove

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Matthew Kirk raised to 10,000 from the button and Eli Heath called from the big blind. The flop came down {J-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{3-Spades} and Heath checked. Kirk bet 8,000 and Heath check-raised to 22,000. Kirk made the call.

The {8-Clubs} came out on the turn and Heath checked. After Kirk fired a bet of 20,000. Heath only called this time, not opting to check-raise.

The river completed the board with the {9-Diamonds} and put a four-card straight on board. Heath checked and Kirk moved all in for 110,000. Heath released his hand and dropped back below seven figures to 910,000. Kirk increased to over 200,000.
