Barry Borgmeyer Bounced

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante

Barry Borgmeyer fired out 10,200 on a board of {5-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{6-Spades}, and Mark Fledderman moved all in for just 6,450 more.

"I priced myself in," Borgmeyer sighed, making the call.

Borgmeyer: {k-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}
Fledderman: {j-Diamonds}{9-Spades}

Fledderman's pair of nines held up when the {2-Hearts} bricked off on the river, and he doubled to 34,000 chips. Borgmeyer was left with just 4,000, and exited shortly thereafter.

Kingston Rivers Broadway

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante

Dawn Flores checked to Matthew Kingston on a flop of {q-Hearts}{6-Spades}{a-Hearts}, and Kingston fired out a bet of 1,500. Lopes called.

Both players checked after the {q-Spades} paired the board on the turn, and the {j-Diamonds} completed the board. Lopes checked, Kingston bet 3,400, and Flores called, showing an {a-}.

Kingston tabled {k-Spades}{10-Spades} for Broadway though, and raked in the pot.

No Showdown, No Problem

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Jonathan Taylor raised to 900 in early position, Tony Coffey called on the button, and Tim Vance defended his big blind. All three players checked on a flop of {10-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{8-Clubs}, and the turn was the {6-Diamonds}. Vance checked, Taylor tossed out 1,300, and both Coffey and Vance called.

The river was the {7-Clubs}, Vance and Taylor both checked, and Coffey fired out 6,000. Both players folded, and Coffey raked in the pot.

Shroeder Gets Shorter

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Derek Shroeder opened for a raise out of the small blind, and Andrew Ourth moved all in for 7,000 or so. Shroeder tanked for a bit before making the call.

Shroeder: {a-Spades}{7-Spades}
Ourth: {j-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}

The {7-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{5-Hearts} flop gave Shroeder a meaningless pair of sevens, and the {4-Spades} on the turn gave both players a straight draw. Any six on the river would result in a chop pot.

The river was not a six, but the {10-Hearts} spiked on the felt to give Ourth a winning pair of tens. Shroeder smiled as he committed the necessary ships, dropping his stack to 32,000.
