Robinson Busts to Aces

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

A player raised in early position to 3,200 and was called in middle position by Marty Gorenc before Blake Robinson went all in from the cutoff for 36,900. After getting a count, Andy Spears called from the button. The original raiser and Gorenc both folded and it was time to run the cards.

Spears: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}
Robinson: {8-Spades}{8-Clubs}

The board came {j-Spades}{5-Spades}{10-Clubs}{q-Spades}{7-Diamonds} and Robinson was eliminated from the tournament.

Dellaria Collects Sweat-Free Chips

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Frank Dellaria bet 15,500 on a board of {10-Hearts}{6-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} from the button. A player in middle position called and the river was a {3-Hearts}. That prompted Dellaria's opponent to slide his remaining 25,000 or so in, but Dellaria snap-called.

The middle player tabled {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} for an airball and Dellaria showed {k-Spades}{j-Clubs} for the nuts.

Jablonski Gets There On River

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

With around 10,000 in the pot on a flop reading {7-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}, Stan Jablonski had checked and action was on Jack Kerr, who bet 8,000. Jablonski raised to 30,000, which was over half his remaining stack. Kerr, who covered, went all in and Jablonski made the call to put his last 56,600 into the pot.

Stan Jablonski: {9-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}
Jack Kerr: {10-Spades}{8-Diamonds}

Jablonski was in need of another diamond to complete his flush draw. The turn came {6-Hearts}, but he got there on the river when a diamond fell.

Esquivel Needs a Crest

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Mikey Esquivel
Mikey Esquivel

The tide is low for Mikey Esquivel, who needs some heat after his most recent dip leaves him below 20 big blinds.

In one recent pot he dropped, Lydia Waltonbaugh checked in middle position on {k-Clubs}{j-Spades}{6-Spades}{j-Clubs} and Esquivel bet 5,600. Waltonbaugh called and both players quickly checked the {q-Hearts} river. Waltonbaugh revealed {a-Clubs}{6-Clubs} for a pair and a missed flush draw but the sixes were good.

Pelekh on Crumbs

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Zinoviy Pelekh bet 3,800 from the big blind on {4-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{5-Spades}{10-Spades} and the player under the gun called. On the {2-Clubs} river, Pelekh eyed his opponent, who seemed to be loading up chips, and checked. That player did splash some in, 6,000, and Pelekh mucked in a hurry.

Dellaria Has Heaps

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Six players were in a limped pot to a flop of {4-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{6-Spades} and action was checked to a player in middle position who bet 12,000. Stan Jablonski folded from the cutoff and Frank Dellaria made the call from the button before the rest of the table folded. Following the {4-Clubs} turn, the player in middle position fired another bet of 15,000. Dellaria called again, bringing the {8-Diamonds} river. The player in middle position bet 17,200, and Dellaria looked over to his opponent and asked how much he had behind. After seeing about 35,000 back, he shoved all in and was called.

Frank Dellaria: {6-Diamonds}{4-Spades}
Middle Position: {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

Dellaria's full house was good to take down the pot and he now has a massive stack in front of him.

Snuffer Outkicks Opponent for Knockout

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Iverson Cotton Snuffer
Iverson Cotton Snuffer

We just caught up with Iverson Cotton Snuffer about a big pot he just won. There was a multi-way limped pot that saw a flop come {a-}{k-}{4-}. Action was checked to the player on his direct right, who bet 6,000. Snuffer called from the cutoff, as did the player in the small blind. Action on the turn was three ways, and the dealer turned over a {5-}. It was checked to Snuffer, who bet 10,000. Both players called, and the river came a {7-}. The small blind checked, and the hijack went all in for 37,000. Snuffer went in over him for about 42,000 and the small blind folded.

Hijack: {a-}{6-}
Snuffer: {a-}{8-}

Snuffer's call with top pair had his opponent outkicked on the small board, and he collected the pot and knockout.

Pupillo Sent to Join His Brother

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Nick Pupillo
Nick Pupillo

Nick Pupillo jammed in the hijack for 23,500 and the player on the button ripped over him to fold out the blinds, showing {5-Hearts}{5-Clubs}.

"Best hand I could see," Pupillo said, turning over {8-Clubs}{7-Hearts}.

The {k-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{9-Spades} board gave him plenty of outs but the {4-Diamonds} river wasn't one of them.
