Weinstein Knows His Nines are Doomed

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante

Chris Albanese, from the cutoff, and Brian Weinstein, on the big blind, got all in against each other preflop, with Weinstein having Albanese covered.

Chris Albanese: {q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}
Brian Weinstein: {9-Clubs}{9-Spades}

"I have no chance," said Weinstein as soon as he saw the cards turn over.

Weinstein seemed to know what was coming, as the {a-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} flop left him drawing to a single out. That didn't come on either the turn {k-Spades} or river {q-Spades}, and Albanese doubled up.

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante

Ricky Guan raised to 1,200 from the hijack, and was called by Shawn Van Asdale in the small blind and Paul Hendee in the big blind.

Action checked to Guan on a {6-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} flop, and he bet 1,300. Only Van Asdale called.

The {10-Spades} turn was checked by both players, and Van Asdale checked again on the {4-Spades} river. Guan bet 3,500 and Van Asdale called, only muck after Guan tabled {q-Hearts}{j-Clubs} for top pair.

Roselius Doubles Up

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante

Steve Roselius opened to 1,100 from middle position, the player to his direct left called, and a big-stacked player in the big blind went all in, having both opponents covered.

"Really?" asked Roselius, who had around 16,000 chips total. Roselius made the call, and the third player folded.

Steve Roselius: {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}
Big Blind: {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}

Board: {q-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{4-Spades}

The jack on flop put Roselius ahead, and the pair of jacks proved to be good enough for the double.

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

A player limped in from middle position, and Mike Vonada raised to 1,600 from the hijack. Casey Jones three-bet shoved for 11,400 from the small blind, the limper folded, and Vonada called.

Casey Jones: {k-Hearts}{j-Hearts}
Mike Vonada: {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}

Vonada ended up on the right side of the coin after a {6-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{7-Spades}{3-Spades}{a-Spades} board left his tens in front.

"ratedGTO" Runs Into Kings

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

Ricky Guan had his last 20,400 in preflop and was at risk against Sebastian Harasim.

Ricky Guan: {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}
Sebastian Harasim: {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}

"Do you have me covered?" Guan asked Harasim, who softly nodded.

The {7-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{5-Clubs} board failed to provide a nine for Guan, and he headed to re-enter while Harasim claimed the bounty.

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

Timothy Guilford jammed for 8,500 from the hijack, and was called by Marty Gorenc on the button, as well as the small blind.

Action checked through a {9-Spades}{10-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{j-Clubs} board, and Gorenc said, "I play the board," tabling {6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} as he did.

"Me too," the small blind declared, turning over {q-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}.

"I have the nuts!" Guilford beamed, turning over {a-Spades}{7-Hearts} for Broadway as he did. He then said, "Got 'em!" before pulling in the triple.

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

Brittney Barnes gave PokerNews an account of her recent double knockout, which in addition to the pair of bounties earned, chipped her up to 60,000.

Barnes was part of a three-way all in, having both opponents covered.

Brittney Barnes: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}
Opponent 1: {k-}{k-}
Opponent 2: {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}

Board: {10-Spades}{5-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}

The already juice preflop matchup got even better as the board ran out, but in the end the set of aces for Barnes earned the victory.
