Riess Finds a Double Up

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

After a raise from a player in middle position, Ryan Riess moved all in from the button for 10,900 total. Action folded back to the original raiser who called after giving it some though.

Riess: {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
Opponent: {7-Clubs}{5-Spades}

The flop came down {A-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{8-Spades} which give Riess' opponent a pair and some extra outs. The turn was the {6-Spades} bringing even more outs. The river was the {3-Diamonds} though and that sealed it for Riess with his pair of tens, allowing him to double up to right around 25,000.

Back To the Circuit For Hawkins

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

There were about 12,000 chips already in the middle and the board read {5-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} when we got to the table. Maria Lampropulos bet 5,000 from under the gun into her lone opponent, Maurice Hawkins, who was next to act. Hawkins raised to 10,500 and Lampropulos called.

The turn brought the {9-Spades} and Lampropulos checked. Hawkins shoved for 2,300 and Lampropulos quickly called.

Hawkins: {3-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}
Lampropulos: {7-Spades}{7-Hearts}

Hawkins found himself trailing with the worse of the two pocket pairs and needed to spike a three in order to stay alive. The {10-Clubs} on the river changed nothing, so Lampropulos took the pot to send Hawkins to the rail.

Badziakouski Plays His Aces Slowly

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

The action folded around to the cutoff who raised it up to 4,800. Mikita Badziakouski three-bet to 15,100 on the button and the blinds both folded. The cutoff thought for a moment before moving in a four-bet to 31,000. Badziakouski just called and the flop came {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{9-Clubs}.

Both players checked and the {4-Spades} landed on the turn. Two more checks and the {4-Hearts} double-paired the board on the river. The cutoff announced a bet of 28,000 and Badziakouski instantly tossed in a single chip to call. His opponent rolled over {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds} for two pair, but Badziakouski tabled {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds} for a bigger two pair.

Keith Lehr Turns Quads to Eliminate Boris Kolev

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Catching up to the action on the turn with the board showing {K-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}. Action was on Keith Lehr and with roughly 60,000 already in the pot, he puts out a bet of 21,000. Action moves over to Kolev and he moves all in. Lehr snap calls.

Lehr: {Q-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}
Kolev: {J-Spades}{10-Spades}

Kolev had flopped a straight but Lehr turned Kolev stone dead when the {Q-Clubs} came on the turn, giving him quads. The river was a meaningless {10-Clubs} and that would do it. The monster pot was sent Lehr's way and that gave him right around 230,000 chips while Kolev was sent to the rail.

Lucas Greenwood
Lucas Greenwood

Luc Greenwood was under the gun and got all the chips in the middle before the flop against the player in the small blind. Greenwood had the larger of the two stacks by a wide margin.

Greenwood: {Q-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}
Small blind: {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

Greenwood had the preflop advantage with the bigger pocket pair and extended his lead further when the flop came {Q-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{3-Spades}, leaving his opponent in rough shape. The {2-Diamonds} on the turn and {2-Clubs} on the river secured the pot for Greenwood, giving him the winning full house, so he took the chips to send his opponent to the rail.
