Nguyen Triples Up

Level 12 (2,000/4,000/4,000)

The flop read {5-Spades}{9-Spades}{6-Diamonds}. Loi Nguyen was all in for about 55,000. Blake Barousse re-shoved his larger stack. The decision was on Brandon Guzman who thought it over long and hard before calling.

Loi Nguyen: {k-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}
Blake Barousse: {a-Spades}{9-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{4-Spades}
Brandon Guzman: {j-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}

The turn was the {2-Diamonds} and the river the {6-Clubs} to secure the triple up for Nguyen and give Barousse the side pot vs Guzman while Guzman was left with a decimated stack.

Level 11 (1,500/3,000/3,000)

Action was on the river with the board reading {7-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{2-Spades}{7-Spades}. Lawrence Lazar was facing a bet of 35,000 from his opponent. Lazar raised to 100,000 and waited for a decision from his opponent.

After about 20 seconds, his opponent called. Lazar flipped over the {9-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{5-Spades}{3-Spades} for sevens full which caused his opponent to muck in frustration and ship the pot over to Lazar.

Level 8 (600/1,200/1,200)

There was a flurry of action at the table as the board was showing {8-Spades}{q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}. Four players were all in as the dealer was counting the chips and setting aside side pots.

Paul Espinoza had the largest stack and held a set of queens with the {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{6-Clubs}, while one of his opponents had the {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{9-Spades} for the queen high straight. Another player also had a queen high straight, and the fourth all in player held the {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{4-Spades}.

Alan Middleton and Steve Lykins were two of the three players at risk.

The turn was the {3-Diamonds} to change little but the river came the {10-Clubs} to pair the board and give Espinoza the full boat, besting the straights and knocking out all three of his opponents in one fell swoop to grow his stack even larger

Level 5 (300/600/600)

Action was on the river as the board read {6-Spades}{j-Spades}{a-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{6-Clubs}.

Blake Barousse bet 10,500 against two opponents on the river. Both folded after a few moments of thought and Barousse added a decent pot to his growing stack in Level 5.
