Fenton's Full

Level 10 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
DJ Fenton
DJ Fenton

DJ Fenton, who won last year's Run It Up Reno VI Main Event, raised to 4,000 from the hijack, and was called by Jasthi Kumar on the button, as well as Alan Mastic in the small blind.

Mastic checked the {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{7-Spades} flop over to Fenton, who bet 7,500. Both Kumar and Mastic called.

All three players checked the {a-Hearts} turn, and the {k-Spades} hit the river.

Mastic checked, and Fenton bet 18,500. Kumar called and Mastic folded, and Fenton tabled {a-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} for aces-full. Kumar mucked.

Lombard Gets Cockey

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Anthony Lombard
Anthony Lombard

Jon Cockey limped in from UTG, and Anthony Lombard raised to 6,000 from the cutoff. Patrick Truong called in the big blind, as did Cockey.

Action checked to Lombard on a {3-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{k-Spades} flop, and he bet 8,000. Only Lombard called.

The {9-Diamonds} fell on the turn, and after a lengthy tank, Cockey jammed for 30,500 and Lombard quickly called.

Cockey: {a-Hearts}{j-Spades}
Lombard: {k-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}

Cockey needed a non-diamond ace or jack to survive, but the {10-Diamonds} completed a flush for Lombard instead.

Guan Gets Lucky to Double Through Stapes

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Joe Stapleton
Joe Stapleton

Ricky "RatedGTO" Guan moved all in for 25,000 under the gun and Joe "Stapes" Stapleton isolated with a three-bet jam two spots over in the hijack. The rest of the players folded and the hands were turned up.

Guan: {a-Hearts}{2-Hearts}
Stapleton: {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}

Guan had a kicker problem but he got lucky when the {3-Clubs}{a-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} flop delivered him two pair. Neither the {7-Diamonds} turn nor {4-Diamonds} river helped Stapes and he sent over nearly half his stack. He went bust a couple hands later.

Kumar's Kings Dent Lagodich

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Frank Lagodich raised to 4,500 from UTG, and DJ Fenton called from UTG+1. Jasthi Kumar announced a three-bet to 14,500 from the hijack, and action folded back to Lagodich. He four-bet to 28,000, which chased Fenton out, but Kumar five-bet jammed for 59,000. Lagodich quickly called.

Lagodich: {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}
Kumar: {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts}

The {9-Clubs}{10-Spades}{8-Hearts} flop provided little help for Lagodich, but he picked up four more outs when the {j-Spades} turn gave him a Broadway draw. He bricked off on the {8-Clubs} river, however, and Kumar doubled up.

Novak Scavenges a Knockout

Level 12 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

A short-stacked player moved all in for 20,500 from middle position and action folded around to Corey Novak in the big blind. Novak, who won his way into this tournament by completing the RIU Reno VIII Scavenger Hunt earlier in the week, opted to call and was in a dominating position.

Novak: {a-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}
Opponent: {a-Spades}{6-Diamonds}

Novak had the superior ace and took a commanding lead on the {8-Clubs}{5-Spades}{10-Clubs} flop. The {3-Hearts} turn locked it up for him and he was pushed the pot after the {k-Clubs} was run out on the river.
