Campbell's Kings KO One

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante

A player moved all in for his last 5,700 from under the gun, and Roger Campbell made the call on the button, as did the player in the big blind.

The big blind checked an {8-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{5-Spades} flop to Campbell, who bet 11,500 into the side pot. The big blind quickly folded.

"I need lots of help!" the under-the-gun player said before the cards were tabled.

Opponent: {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Roger Campbell: {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

Campbell locked up the hand when the {k-Spades} hit the turn, prompting the under-the-gun player to say, "Oh, it's over," with a resigned grin on his face. The {7-Diamonds} finished the board, and Campbell scooped in the pot.

Raymer Fades the World

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante

On an {a-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{4-Spades}{7-Hearts} board, a player in the big blind checked over to Greg Raymer next to act. Raymer bet 4,000 into a pot of around 9,000, and his opponent called.

Both players checked the {j-Hearts} river, and the big blind half-shrugged and flipped over {7-Spades}{5-Spades} for a pair of sevens and a few busted draws.

"Phew!" Raymer said, turning over {9-Spades}{9-Hearts} for the winner.

Sepiol Above Starting Stack; Casement Crushing

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

Daniel Sepiol raised to 2,000 from the cutoff, and Brad Sailor called on the button.

Sepiol bet 2,700 on the {9-Spades}{3-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} flop, and Sailor called.

Both players checked the {q-Clubs} turn, and the {a-Hearts} fell on the river. Sepiol bet 5,500, and Sailor quickly folded.

Meanwhile, at the same table, Jim Casement has managed to run his stack into six-figures since returning from the break.

Rubinberg Fires

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

A player limped in from middle position, and Andrew Rubinberg raised to 2,000 on the button. The middle position player called.

The middle position player check-called a bet of 3,300 on the {7-Spades}{a-Hearts}{9-Spades} flop, and both players checked the {q-Diamonds} turn.

The middle position player checked for a third time on the {q-Diamonds} river, and Rubinberg bet 5,200. The middle position player pushed the {q-Diamonds} away from the rest of the board and said, "Did that hit you?" with a frustrated look on his face, before mucking his cards. Rubinberg didn't show his hand, and instead raked in the pot.

Raghavan's Queens Earn a KO

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

Ravi Raghavan raised to 1,700 from under the gun, and a player in middle position called. The player next to act three-bet shoved for around 23,000, and Raghavan four-bet shoved, chasing out the middle position player.

Opponent: {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}
Ravi Raghavan: {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}

Raghavan's opponent stood up, seemingly aware of his fate as the {10-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{a-Hearts} board brought no sweat for Raghavan's queens, and Raghavan stacked up the pot and earned the elimination.

Brek Schutten
Brek Schutten

Leo Mitchell limped in from under the gun, and Brek Schutten raised to 2,500 from the cutoff. Mitchell called.

Mitchell led out for 3,500 on the {8-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{a-Clubs} flop, and Schutten called.

The {2-Clubs} turn and {q-Spades} river were checked down, and Mitchell said, "King-high," before turning over {k-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}. Schutten had that bested with his {a-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}, and took down the pot.

Aces Propel Raymer Up the Counts

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

An opponent was exiting his seat and pushing his last 37,000 in chips across the felt to Greg Raymer, and his hand was already in the muck.

Meanwhile, Raymer's {a-Spades}{a-Clubs} still sat proudly in front of him, and the {2-Spades}{5-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{6-Spades}{j-Diamonds} board was apparently not good enough to best the 2012 HPT Player of the Year's rockets, earning him the knockout.
