Beesley's Rockets Melt Lagodich's Snowmen

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 2,400 ante

Frank Lagodich raised to 5,000 from the lojack, and Phil Beesley jammed for 15,900 in the small blind. Lagodich called.

Lagodich: {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}
Beesley: {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}

"That's a nice hand," Lagodich told Beesley after a {4-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} board failed to improve his eights.

White Pips His Way to a Double

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 2,400 ante

Jerry White jammed for 24,200 from UTG, and the cutoff confirmed the total before three-bet jamming for 36,000, chasing off the rest of the field.

"That is not good," White said before showing his hand.

White: {a-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}
Opponent: {a-Spades}{5-Clubs}

"Oh, that is good!" White remarked after the hands were tabled. He took command of the hand after the {2-Spades}{6-Hearts}{q-Spades} flop paired his kicker, and although his opponent found a pair of his own on the {5-Hearts} turn, another five wouldn't materialize on the {4-Spades} river, securing the double for White.

Kumar Sends Survivor Champ to the Rail

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

With 65,000 in the pot and a board reading {q-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{10-Hearts}, former Survivor champ Tyson Apostol moved all in for his last 50,000 and was quickly called by Jasthi Kumar.

Kumar: {j-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Apostol: {k-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}

Apostol had top pair with an open-ended straight draw, but he was in a bad spot as Kumar had turned a straight. Apostol needed either an ace or nine just to chop, but he missed as the {3-Clubs} bricked on the river.

Guilford's "Runnin' Good"

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

A player jammed for 20,000 from UTG, and Timothy Guilford thought for a moment before tossing in a call in middle position.

Guilford: {j-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}
Opponent: {a-Clubs}{6-Clubs}

The {9-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} flop brought Guilford a pair of nines and an open-ended straight flush draw, leaving his opponent drawing to a non-diamond ace to survive. The {3-Hearts} turn and {4-Diamonds} river improved Guilford further to a flush, and he collected another bounty.

"When you're runnin' good," Guilford said with a smile as he stacked up the chips and added the $500 bounty chip to a stack of seven he had already collected.
