A Scoop For Gouveia

Level 10 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

A player in early position open-jammed for 12,500 and Elilton Gouveia called in middle position. Action folded around to the cutoff, who re-jammed, and Gouveia called all in for less once it became his turn to do so.

Early Position: {q-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}
Elilton Gouveia: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}
Cutoff: {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}

Gouveia had to fade just one direct out going to the runout, though the flop {6-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{9-Clubs} gave the shortest stack two more cards to earn a triple. The turn {8-Clubs} gave him four more to a gutshot straight draw, but they all missed on the river {7-Hearts} and Gouveia scooped both pots for well over a double.

The Ladies Love Dane Cass

Level 10 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

A blind-on-blind battle ensued with a pile of chips in the center on a board of {9-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{3-Clubs} and Dane Cass checked to his opponent in the big blind, who jammed for about 30,000. Cass made the call.

All-In Player: {k-Spades}{2-Diamonds}
Dane Cass: {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}

The all-in player was unable to find a five outer on the river {6-Diamonds} and was eliminated as a result, earning Cass the pot to take him over 150,000.

Crowley Shows The Nuts

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Joel Crowley opened to 2,400 in the hijack and action folded around to Dapo Ajayi who defended his big blind. The flop came {5-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{q-Spades} and Ajayi checked. Crowley made a continuation-bet of 2,400 and Ajayi check-raised to 7,000.

After about 20 seconds, Crowley called and the turn came {10-Spades}. Ajayi opted not to keep firing, checking over to Crowley instead. Crowley cut out a bet of 13,000 and Ajayi looked over to study his opponent.

"Can I see your stack?" asked Ajayi. Crowley complied, letting him know he had just above 50,000. "Will you show if I fold?" continued Ajayi. Crowley answered affirmatively and Ajayi sent his cards to the muck, with Crowley tabling {a-Spades}{9-Spades} for the nuts before the pot was shipped to him.

Crowley finds himself with a stack of 79,800 going to the dinner break, while Ajayi has nearly triple that in a stack of 210,500 despite the lost pot.

Payne Doubles Through Franklin

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Tyler Payne was down to around 14,000 and got it all in preflop against Tom Franklin, who was happy to give him action.

Tyler Payne: {a-Hearts}{5-Hearts}
Tom Franklin: {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}

Payne's dominated ace found a pair for its kicker on the flop {5-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}, but he was not completely out of the woods as the turn {7-Hearts} gave him a counterfeit sweat. He faded it with ease on the river {6-Clubs} and the double was shipped his way.
