Brungardt Doubles Through Bybee

Level 13 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Ross Bybee opened in the hijack and called the shove of Brian Brungardt, who made it 31,500 more on the button.

Bybee: [ad9d
Brungardt: {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}

The {7-Spades}{5-Hearts}{7-Clubs} helped neither player but Bybee picked up a straight draw with the {6-Hearts} turn. It was a {5-Clubs} falling on fifth street though, and Brungardt doubled through.

Tepen Puts Nye to the Test

Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Ryan Tepen defended his big blind from a middle-position raise by Erin Nye, and he then led out for 10,000 on the {6-Hearts}{7-Spades}{5-Spades} flop. Nye made it 30,000 and Tepen called. On the {9-Diamonds} turn, Tepen shoved all in for 66,000 effective after some thought. Nye tanked about three or four minutes and then mucked he hand.

We didn't see how the hand went down, but Grant Hinkle just doubled with {8-}{8-} against an opponent holding {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}. The board ran out blank for the ace-king, while Hinkle made a full house as three tens hit the felt.

Baum Calls Down

Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

A player in middle position fired 14,000 on a board of {10-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{8-Hearts}, and Martin Baum called from the cutoff. Baum tanked about 90 seconds and called another barrel of 18,500 after the {8-Diamonds} river.

"Good call," his opponent said.

Baum flipped {k-Spades}{10-Spades} and took the pot.

Nye Finishes Rieck

Level 11 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Mike Rieck shipped in the cutoff for about 13,000, and Erin Nye called on the button.

"Please tell me I'm live," Rieck said as he showed {9-Clubs}{8-Hearts}. He was pleased to see that was the case as Nye held {k-}{q-}.

The flop, though, came {k-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{7-Clubs} and Rieck was in awful shape. He did find the {6-Clubs} on the turn for a sweat, but the {a-Spades} did not complete his straight.

McAdams Doubles Through Rieck

Level 11 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Mike McAdams was all in from the hijack for about 25,000 when we got to his table. Mike Rieck was tanking on the {7-Spades}{4-Spades}{5-Clubs} flop, and he decided to make the call.

McAdams: {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}
Rieck: {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}

"Set or a flush draw the only things that made sense," Rieck muttered.

Another player was expressing his thanks that he folded fours in the big blind, and the board ran out {3-Spades}{3-Hearts} to give McAdams a winning boat.
