Buell Busted

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Stephen Buell bet 1,500 from the button on an {8-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{2-Clubs} flop, and David Eldridge came out raising with 4,200 from the big blind. Buell fired in a reraise to about 19,200, and Eldridge moved in for just a few thousand more effective.

Buell: {10-Clubs}{8-Clubs}
Eldridge: {q-Clubs}{6-Clubs}

Both had flush draws, but Eldridge's was superior and he grabbed a big lead on the {9-Clubs} turn. The sweat wasn't quite over as Buell could win with the {7-Clubs} but a {7-Hearts} river was the wrong seven.

Buell Doubles

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

Stephen Buell got it in for 13,200 from the big blind over a raise to 2,100 from Corey Harrison, who thought briefly and called.

Buell: {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}

The board ran out {3-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}, with Buell pulling farther ahead on every street.

More for Yunis

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

Nick Yunis' dominance continues.

In one recent pot, Chan Pelton checked to him from the cutoff on a {7-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{q-Clubs} board, and Yunis bet 6,200. Pelton called. The river was a {5-Spades} and Pelton checked. Yunis thought for about a minute and then took out 21,500 and dropped it in.

"Call," Pelton said instantly.

Yunis showed {9-Clubs}{9-Spades} for a set and rake in yet another pot.
