Barnes Shocks Kalb

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Blake Barnes seemed to have schocked Ryan Kalb after beating Kalb in a heads up pot.

Kalb raised preflop to 900 from the button and Barnes defended his big blind. The flop came {9-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} and Barnes checked to Kalb. Kalb bet 1,200 and Barnes called.

The turn was the {8-Clubs} and both players checked. The river was the {5-Hearts} and Barnes led out for 1,200. Kalb called and Barnes showed {j-Clubs}{9-Spades} for a pair of nines.

Kalb seemed to be shocked when he saw the hand. He had his elbows on the table and made fists and shook his hands in what may have been disbelief. Either way, he mucked his hand and Barnes took down the pot.

Mini Run For Moneymaker, Wentz Hits the Rail

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Chris Moneymaker is sitting a little under 50,000 chips after eliminating Alan Wentz.

The action started when a player limped and Wentz shoved his remaining 3,600 in front of Moneymaker. Moneymaker called and Paul Cordrey called behind him. The remaining players folded. This left Moneymaker and Cordrey heads up to the flop with Wentz all in.

The flop came {7-Clubs}{2-Spades}{7-Hearts} and both players checked. The turn was the {8-Spades} and Moneymaker bet 3,000. Cordrey called.

The river was the {3-Spades} and Moneymaker led again, this time for 7,000. Cordrey folded.

"You're good sir," Moneymaker said to Wentz.

"I can't be!" Wentz replied, turning over {10-Clubs}{6-Clubs}.

He was correct, Moneymaker had {a-Clubs}{9-Hearts} for ace high, which was good enough to win the main pot and eliminate Wentz.

Rick Sklenar

Rick Sklenar just eliminated a player who had pocket queens when he flopped a flush. Sklenar held {5-Hearts}{4-Hearts} and the two players got all in when the flop came all hearts. Sklenar's hand held and he was the second player in the last hour to win a huge pot with four-five suited.

Morgan Newman had the same hand, but suited to clubs instead of hearts, and busted two players when he flopped a flush and his hand held as well.
