Treat Wins a Flip

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante
Kelly Treat
Kelly Treat

Kelly Treat was down to half her starting stack and she pushed all in for 14,700 from under the gun. Alim Butler gave her some action when he tossed in a single chip from middle position.

Kelly Treat: {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
Alim Butler: {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

It was a coin flip for all of Treat's chips and the flop of {8-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{2-Hearts} provided no help thus far. The {6-Hearts} on the turn gave Treat a flush draw and the {5-Hearts} on the river completed her flush to score a double up.

Fisher Hits His Freeroll

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

Roger Fisher was facing a bet for the rest of his 14,300 chips on a board reading {q-Spades}{9-Spades}{4-Hearts}{7-Spades}{5-Spades}. There was around 18,000 in the pot and Fisher checked to Christopher Brewington who pushed all in.

"I don't believe you have spades," Fisher said as he plopped in a call. Brewington tabled {j-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} for a missed straight draw and Fisher tabled the same hand with {j-Diamonds}{10-Spades}. However, Fisher did have a spade for the flush and was awarded the double up.

Bazeley Triples Up

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Three short stacks got all of their chips in the middle preflop including Jennifer Myers and Jake Bazeley. Myers was currently ahead with {a-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} against Bazeley's {q-Clubs}{j-Spades} and the {a-Clubs}{3-Clubs} of the third player.

The flop came {j-Clubs}{8-Spades}{5-Spades} to give Bazeley the lead with the only pair. The {5-Hearts} on the turn and the {6-Clubs} on the river changed nothing as Bazeley crept back to a starting stack and Myers was eliminated.

Keller Gets It in Good

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

There was around 35,000 in the pot preflop and the dealer fanned {a-Clubs}{10-Spades}{8-Clubs} across the table. By the time the action reached David Keller, two players were already all in. Keller quickly stuck in the last of his 14,000 chips and the cards were on their back.

David Keller: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}
Thomas Minnichweber: {a-Spades}{3-Spades}
Big Blind: {k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}

The {8-Hearts} on the turn gave Keller a full house and a lock on the hand. Minnichweber took down a small side pot but it was Keller who scored the massive main pot for a triple up.
