Schaeffer Calls, Shows the Nuts

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

With {j-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{10-Clubs}{k-Clubs} on the board, Eric Schaeffer bet 12,000 from the big blind.

His under the gun opponent raised all in, and Schaeffer made the call, having the under-the-gun player covered.

Under the Gun: {a-Spades}{7-Spades}
Eric Schaeffer: {a-Clubs}{q-Spades}

The timing for a semi-bluff was bad for Schaeffer's opponent, as he held the nut straight. The river fell an inconsequential {6-Spades}, and Schaeffer collected the pot and improved to a 120,000 stack.

Knockout for Neill

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Mike Neill
Mike Neill

The board showed {9-Spades}{4-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{a-Spades}{8-Spades}, and with 14,000 in the middle, the big blind player put in an all-in overbet, pushing his last 23,500 in the middle.

Mike Neill, who had initially checked in the small blind, went into the tank for several moments, before eventually choosing to call. The big blind immediately stood up and headed for the exit, showing {6-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} for a failed bluff.

Neill's {9-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} was the winner, and the pot pushed him over the 200,000 chip mark as the dinner break approaches.

Wilson Over 100k

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

Three players went to a {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{a-Diamonds} flop, and the under-the-gun player bet 7,500.

Ron Wilson raised to 17,500 from early position, the third player folded, and the under-the-gun player made the call.

The under-the-gun player check-called a 2,000 bet from Wilson on the {6-Diamonds} turn.

Facing a check on the {k-Spades} river, Wilson bet 30,000, prompting a fold from his opponents. Wilson turned over what appeared to be pocket eights, for quads, as he collected the pot.

McCarroll Raises River, Shows Flush

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

Table 5 continues to host some massive pots, with the latest sending a big chunk of chips the way of Keith McCarroll.

The pot grew to more than 20,000 by the river, with the board showing {6-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{8-Hearts}. McCarroll's opponent in the hand bet 6,500 from early position, and McCarroll put in a raise to 20,500.

The raise sent the early position player deep into the tank, and after several minutes he made the call. McCarroll showed his opponent the bad news, tabling {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for the nut flush.
