Meyers Roars Over 100,000

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Chris Meyers
Chris Meyers

With just over 50,000 in the middle on a completed board of {a-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{2-Diamonds} Chris Meyers put a stack of brown T-5,000 chips forward which appeared to just cover his opponent who had checked in the small blind.

The small blind went deep into the tank, thinking for a couple of minutes before flicking in a calling chip.

Meyers showed {a-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} for a flopped two pair. The small blind mucked his hand, then counted down his stack which indeed was just covered by Meyers, who dragged the huge pot to put himself among the larger stacks in the room.

Holloway Vies with Vyas

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Chad Holloway
Chad Holloway

With approximately 25,000 in the pot on a completed board of {10-Spades}{k-Clubs}{7-Spades}{4-Clubs}{5-Hearts}, Hardik Vyas bet 10,000 from the small blind into Chad Holloway who was under the gun.

The WSOP bracelet winner gave his decision some thought before flicking in calling chips to see Vyas' {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts} for top pair / top kicker. Holloway showed {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs}, mentioning he was relieved he didn't go broke by jamming the turn with his pair and nut flush draw that would have missed.

Stone Applies Maximum Pressure to Augustine

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Chad Stone
Chad Stone

After Albert Augustine limped in early position, Chad Stone raised to 7,000 in middle position. Augustine called and the duo saw a flop of {j-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{7-Spades}.

Augustine check-called a bet of 10,000 from Stone, then checked again on the {5-Diamonds} turn.

Stone now brought the hammer down, moving all-in for Augustine's remaining 76,000 chips.

Augustine quickly folded and Stone gave Augustine a courtesy look at {k-Spades}{j-Spades} for a flopped top two pair.

Miscommunication Seemingly Costs Iacovone

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Michele Iacovonezo
Michele Iacovonezo

Micahel Volk raised to 4,000 under the gun and was called by Michele Iacovione in the big blind.

On the {5-Spades}{5-Spades}{2-Hearts} flop, Iacovone check-called a bet of 6,000 by Volk to see the {7-Diamonds}.

After a brief pause, Volk made a checking motion, assuming that Iacovone had checked. Iacovone was adamant that he had not acted, then frustratedly checked, with Volk again quickly checking behind.

The {q-Diamonds} then fell on the river, and after Iacovone checked, Volk checked once more, then rolled over {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} for a rivered pair of queens.

Iacovone laughed to himself and shook his head slightly before sending his cards to the muck. Regarless, Iacovone still holds a big stack of well over 200,000 chips.

Five players saw a flop in a limped pot just before dinner, with the flop coming {7-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}.

Mikah Richards led out for 6,000 from the small blind. Albert Augustine called in the big blind, Chad Stone folded the hijack, Papa Karn folded the cutoff, and Frank Lagodich called on the button.

On the {4-Diamonds} turn, the remaining trio checked to see the {7-Hearts} on the river, double pairing the board.

Richards moved all in for about 30,000 and received folds from her two remaining opponents, sending her to break with a boost to her stack.
