Dan Buzgon
Dan Buzgon

Two players limped in and Dan Buzgon raised to 10,000 from the small blind. The big blind quickly folded and both limpers called. They went three handed to the {7-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{2-Spades} flop and the action checked around.

The turn was the {6-Spades} and Buzgon fired out a bet of 22,500. Both players called and the {k-Diamonds} completed the board. Buzgon moved all in for 33,000 and the player in middle position folded.

The player in late position snap called turning over {k-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} for kings and sevens but Buzgon showed {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds} for aces and deuces to earn the double up.

Wexler Doubles Through Lind

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Jonas Wexler
Jonas Wexler

Four players saw a flop of {j-Spades}{9-Clubs}{8-Hearts} and it checked to the player in the cutoff who bet 15,500 into a main pot of about 30,000. Jonas Wexler raised to 50,000 from the button and Mike Lind check-raised to 130,000. It folded back to Wexler who moved all in for 165,500 and Lind called.

Wexler table {j-Hearts}{9-Hearts} for top two pair and Lind saw the bad news slowly turning over his {9-Spades}{8-Spades}. "I need an eight" said Lind but the turn {4-Clubs} and river {10-Clubs} were no help.

Wexler scooped the massive pot and he vaults to the top of the chip counts with less than three levels of play left in the night.
