Level 6 : 150/300, 25 ante
Marty Zabib
Marty Zabib

Marty Zabib opened to 650 from late position, Toby Mathews three-bet to 1,925 from the big blind, and Zabib moved all in for 14,650. Mathews called.

Zabib: {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}
Mathews: {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}

Zabib was in great shape to double through, and his pocket rockets held up as the board rolled out {6-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{4-Spades}. He is up to 29,500 chips, while Mathews fell to 23,000.

Playing it Slow

Level 6 : 150/300, 25 ante

Jonathan Hart opened to 750 in the cutoff, Jason Mayfield three-bet to 2,000 on his direct left, and Toby Mathews cold-called out of the big blind. Hart got out of the way, the dealer spread {j-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}, and both players checked.

The turn was the man with the ax ({k-Diamonds}), and Mathews checked again. Mayfield fired out two more orange T1,000 chips, Mathews called, and the {3-Diamonds} completed the board. Both players checked.

Mathews opened up {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs} for kings and jacks with an ace kicker, and Mayfield mucked his hand.

Moneymaker Cruising

Level 6 : 150/300, 25 ante
Chris Moneymaker
Chris Moneymaker

Chris Moneymaker, Gene Fletcher, Barry Schultz, and BJ McBrayer took a flop of {7-Spades}{8-Hearts}{6-Spades}. All four players committed another 1,700, and the turn was the {q-Spades}. The action checked to Moneymaker on the button, he fired out 3,700, and only Fletcher called.

The {k-Diamonds} completed the board, Fletcher checked, and Moneymaker reached into his stack. He silently flipped forward two grey T5,000 chips, making it 10,000 to go, and Fletcher instantly called.

The 2003 WSOP Main Event champ showed {a-Spades}{10-Spades} for the nut-flush, and Fletcher begrudgingly showed {k-Spades}{10-} for a pair of tens.

Kizer Doubles

Level 6 : 150/300, 25 ante

Marty Zabib tossed out a pot-sized bet of 6,000 on a flop of {7-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}, and Jamie Kizer moved all in for 12,775. Zabib called.

Zabib: {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}
Kizer: {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}

Zabib was in rough shape, as a set of nines would give Kizer a ten-high straight, and he failed to hit a five or running nines as the turn and river bricked {q-Diamonds}, {k-Hearts} respectively.

Kizer doubled, and here are counts from the table:

Ante: 25

Zabib Check-Folds the Turn

Level 5 : 100/200, 25 ante

Marty Zabib raised to 550 in the cutoff seat, Jonathan Hart called on his direct left, and both blinds released.

The dealer fanned {k-Hearts}{6-Spades}{5-Diamonds}, Zabib led out for 700, and Hart made the call. The turn was the prettiest card in the deck - the {a-Spades} - and Zabib opted to check. Hart took the opportunity to fire out 1,700, and Zabib folded.

Kehrees KO'd

Level 5 : 100/200, 25 ante
Mark Kehrees eliminated
Mark Kehrees eliminated

Marty Zabib was all in and at risk preflop for around 12,000, and Mark Kehrees had him barely covered.

Zabib: {j-Diamonds}{j-Spades}
Kehrees: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}

The wired pair of jacks held up as the board came {9-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{q-Spades}{4-Diamonds}, and Kehrees was left with less than a big blind. He busted on the very next hand.

Head Busts Again

Level 5 : 100/200, 25 ante
Russ Head
Russ Head

We're unsure exactly what happened, but when we arrived at the table Russ Head was collecting his things and exiting for a second time. Chris Moneymaker was pulling the pot in with {k-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} in front of him on a board of {k-}{7-}{9-}{x-}{x-}, and Head's hand was already mucked.

Moneymaker is up to 60,000 chips.
