Platt Goes For Value

Level 3 : 100/200, 200 ante
Jeff Platt
Jeff Platt

Jeff Platt raised to 300 in the cutoff preflop and was called by one player in the small blind.

On a flop reading {3-Spades}{q-Spades}{k-Diamonds}, the small blind checked to Platt who bet 300 once more and the small blind called.

The turn {4-Spades} saw Platt size up his bet to 800 which was called once more by the small blind.

The river {j-Hearts} had the action checking to Platt once more who bet one more time to the tune of 1,700. The small blind frustratingly tossed in the chips to call and Platt turned over {k-Hearts}{10-Clubs} for a pair of kings which was good against his opponents {q-Diamonds}{10-Spades}.

Robinson Eliminated By Gaglione's Boat

Level 4 : 200/300, 300 ante
Blake Robinson
Blake Robinson

With roughly 8,200 in the center, three players took a flop.

The flop came out {q-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} and Francis Margaglione checked in early position, a second player checked behind, and Blake Robinson checked on the button.

The turn of {j-Spades} saw Margaglione lead out for 3,000 which folded out the second player and elicited a raise to 10,000 from Robinson. Margaglione moved all-in with the covering stack. Robinson called for his remaining 13,000 and the hands were turned up.

Blake Robinson: {9-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}
Francis Margaglione: {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts}

Margaglione had turned a set while Robinson had turned a straight and needed to dodge a board pairing to survive. The river rolled off a {k-Spades} which gave Margaglione a full house giving him a near full double up and sending Robinson out of the tournament area.

Mash Finds Some Twos

Level 4 : 200/300, 300 ante

A player raised under the-gun to 800 and got 4 callers that included bracelet winner Howard Mash in the big blind.

The flop came down {10-Spades}{3-Spades}{2-Hearts} which saw action check to the under the-gun player continue for 2,000. The other players in the hand folded and action moved back to Mash who moved all-in for 10,000 effective with the covering stack. The opponent called and the hands were turned on their backs.

Opponent: {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}
Howard Mash: {q-Spades}{2-Spades}

The opponent had top pair, but needed to dodge many cards. The turn rolled off a {2-Clubs} giving Mash three twos and leaving his opponent to draw to the ten on the board pairing. The river came a {3-Hearts}, pairing the other card and eliminating him from the tournament.
