The Most Unlikely of Doubles For Everett

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante
Leo Mitchell
Leo Mitchell

Leo Mitchell has a second wind in today's Day 1c flight thanks to a huge stroke of luck.

As Craig Casino shared with us, Mitchell got his last chips in with {a-}{6-} on a {j-}{6-}{x-} board, and ran into {j-}{j-}.

"I was all the way out of my chair, congratulatin' him!" Mitchell said.

The board had other ideas for Mitchell, however, as two sixes rolled off on the turn and river to give him quads and the double!

Lawrence Takes From Vizza

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante

Sam Vizza bet 4,500 from the hijack into a pot of 8,000, with {2-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} showing on the board. Everett Lawrence, his lone opponent in the cutoff, thought for just a moment before committing calling chips.

Vizza checked after the {q-Hearts} hit the river, and Lawrence quickly bet 5,000. Vizza tanked for a minute, then folded.

Van Keirsbilck Gets a Needed Chip Boost

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante

Mark Van Keirsbilck checked a {7-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} flop from the big blind, and an early position player bet 1,100. The cutoff called, and Van Keirsbilck check-raised all in for 5,600. The early position player folded, and the cutoff tanked for a minute before making the call.

Mark Van Keirsbilck: {9-Clubs}{8-Clubs}
Opponent: {9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}

Van Keirsbilck's big draw and top pair was ahead of his opponent pair of sevens, and the {q-Spades} turn and {k-Clubs} river improved Van Keirsbilck further to a flush, scoring him the double.

Morris Sunk By Kings

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante
Mark Morris
Mark Morris

A player raised to 1,000 from middle position, and Mark Morris three-bet to 3,500 from the hijack. Nazim Seferovic four-bet jammed for around 20,000 on the button, and action folded back to Morris, who called off for 11,500 total.

Mark Morris: {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}
Nazim Seferovic: {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}

"I got three outs!" Morris noted.

The {8-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} flop saw Morris shout, "Diamond!" in hopes of making a runner-runner flush draw. The {3-Diamonds} turn gave him the flush draw, but the {9-Spades} river left him one diamond short, and he sent the last of his chips to Seferovic.

Thirty Miles For Robinson

Level 4 : 100/300, 300 ante

Matt Shepsky raised to 800 from under the gun, and found four callers; a player in middle position, Dale Robinson in the cutoff, Alexander Hill in the small blind, and Tim Barany in the big blind.

Action checked to Robinson on a {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{a-Clubs} flop, and he bet 2,500. One by one, his opponents folded, and Robinson turned over {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades} for a set of tens, saying, "That was not the best board for those!" as he pulled in the pot.

Schlegel Gets a Big Double

Level 4 : 100/300, 300 ante

Christopher McQuiston limped in from under the gun, and Michael Schlegel raised to 1,500 next to act. The cutoff called, and the button three-bet to 7,000. The blinds and McQuiston folded, Schlegel called, and the cutoff folded.

Action checked through the {8-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} flop and {q-Hearts} turn, and Schlegel checked dark before the {k-Spades} fell on the river. The button bet 15,000 and Schlegel check-raised all in for 30,400.

"Well, I have to call," the button said before throwing in calling chips. Schlegel flipped over {q-Spades}{q-Clubs} for a set of queens, and the button mucked {a-}{k-} in a hurry before sending a chunk of chips over to Schlegel.
