Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Jeffrey Orlowski
Jeffrey Orlowski

Greg Baird raised to 13,000 from early position, and Edward Blazer three-bet to 40,000 from the cutoff. Jeffrey Orlowski four-bet shoved for 44,000 from the small blind, Baird folded, and Blazer called.

Jeffrey Orlowski: {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}
Edward Blazer: {4-Spades}{4-Diamonds}

Orlowski's eights held on a {7-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{5-Spades} board for the double. Orlowski, who had just 10,000 in chips a few hands ago, doubled up again a few hands later with his ace-eight holding against the ace-six of Kenneth Baime, and Orlowski now has a comfortable stack of nearly 200,000.

From the small blind, Mike Shin bet 30,000 into a pot of 60,000 on a {2-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{2-Clubs} flop, and George Karambinis called in the big blind. Andy Ernstein tanked for a few moments from under the gun, then folded.

Shin checked the {5-Diamonds} turn, and Karambinis quickly announced a bet of 60,000. Shin folded, and Karambinis tabled {q-Hearts}{q-Spades}, to which Shin knuckled the table in approval.

Rush Gets a Cruel Beat

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Dale Hackney raised to 13,000 from the small blind, and Kevin Rush jammed for 113,000 in the big blind. Hackney called.

Kevin Rush: {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}
Dale Hackney: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}

The {k-Hearts}{9-Spades}{j-Hearts} flop gave Rush a set, and Hackney needed running cards to bust Rush. Sure enough, the {a-Hearts} turn and {k-Spades} river gave Hackney running kings-full, and Rush was left with a bad beat story to tell.
