Zoller Toasted

Hill Kerby
Hill Kerby
Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

A player in early position opened to 2,100 and Vik Vijay went all in for 12,200 over the top. Action folded around to Nate Zoller, who called off his last 3,700 from the big blind. The original opener folded and it was time for the runout.

Nate Zoller: {a-Spades}{6-Diamonds}
Vik Vijay: {q-Spades}{j-Clubs}

The flop fell {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}, giving Vijay four more outs to a gutshot straight draw. The turn {9-Clubs} cut his number of chances in half, but the river {q-Clubs} completed a full house to improve to the best hand, sending Zoller to the rail in the process.

"Just Like I Drew it Up"

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante
Matt Livingston
Matt Livingston

Matt Livingston raised to 2,000 from under the gun and was called by Bob Sweeney in middle position, the player in the hijack, and Richard Ferguson out of the big blind.

All four players checked through the entire runout of {8-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{7-Spades}.

Livingston then tabled {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} and the other three players in the hand mucked, with none having a club or any other combination of cards that could beat Livingston's kings.

"Just like I drew it up!" Livingston said emphatically in a joking manner as the pot was shipped his way.

Horvath Quintuples Up

Scott Horvath
Scott Horvath

Scott Horvath was down to his last 2,000 and went all in from early position. The player to his left called before action folded around to Rich Dixon, who was on the button and also called. Jeff Banghart was in the small blind and called as well, as did the big blind, leaving four players to compete for a potential side pot with any postflop action.

All four players checked through the entire runout of {7-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} and the dealer asked for all cards to be shown.

Jeff Banghart: {9-Hearts}{5-Clubs}
Scott Horvath: {q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}

"Ten's good!" said a couple people on the other side of the table in unison. If any other hands were shown, it was not for long as all the other cards were mucked and Horvath was paid off, bringing him back to over 10K in chips nearing the end of Level 7.

Holland Still Near 100K; Cohen Well Below Starting Stack

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante

There looked to be just shy of 50,000 in the middle on a board of {3-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{4-Hearts} in a pot between Jon Cohen in the big blind and Maxx Holland, who was in early position.

Cohen checked to Holland, who fired a bet of 25,000. Cohen then went into the tank for a while and eventually folded.

Since losing the pot, Cohen appears to have lost a bit more, now sitting with around 20 big blinds-worth of chips in his stack.

Jeff Fielder
Jeff Fielder

A player in middle position raised to 2,200 and was called by both the small blind and Jeff Fielder, who defended his big blind. The flop came {6-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{a-Diamonds} and all three players checked.

The turn fell {k-Diamonds} and the small blind checked again. Fielder bet 2,500 and got a fold from the original raiser in middle position. The small blind folded behind and the pot was sent Fielder's way.
