Oh Boats Up

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

The hijack opened to 2,400, the cutoff called, and Bo Oh called from the big blind.

All three players checked the {6-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} flop. Oh bet 3,000 on the {3-Clubs} turn, and only the hijack called.

Oh checked the {j-Hearts} river, and the hijack checked back, showing {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}. Oh's {8-Diamonds}{6-Spades} was the winner, however, with the {6-Spades} playing for sixes full of jacks.

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante
Mike Razzoli
Mike Razzoli

Mike Razzoli has gained about 80,000 chips in the past 15 minutes, and apparently he's on a streak of eliminating opponents and adding big chunks of chips to his stack.

Razzoli appears to be in the chip lead at the moment by a wide margin, and he's approaching the 300k mark with Level 9 approaching.

Karch's King-Queen is Good

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

Keith Karch opened to 2,400 from middle position, and Anthony Chin called in the cutoff.

Karch check-called bets for 3,500 on the {j-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{k-Spades} flop, and 7,000 on the {4-Hearts} turn.

Both players checked the {q-Spades} river, and Chin turned over {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}, only to see his top pair wasn't enough against Karch's two pair {k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}.

Despite the lost pot, Chin is sitting comfortably at 236,000.

The cutoff opened to 3,000, the small blind raised all in for 8,000, and Keith Karch re-raised all in.

Before Karch's bet could even be counted, the cutoff made the call, with Karch having both opponents covered.

Small Blind: {j-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}
Cutoff: {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}
Keith Karch: {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}

Board: {j-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{10-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{a-Hearts}

The small blind was in the lead with two pair going into the river, but Karch caught trip aces on the river, with the {a-Hearts} coming in. The big pot put Karch at 167,000 as dinner break approaches.
