Reiss Channels Greenstein For a Dub

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

John Reiss jammed for 73,000 from early position, and Scott Davis called in the hijack.

John Reiss: {a-Clubs}{j-Spades}
Scott Davis: {k-Clubs}{k-Spades}

Davis held on the {5-Clubs}{3-Spades}{q-Spades} flop and {q-Diamonds} turn, and Reiss was leaving his seat as the {a-Spades} fell on the river.

"Barry Greenstein showed up!" Reiss said with a smile, before sitting down and claiming the double.

Queen Takes Most of Slough's Stack

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Jeremiah Slough
Jeremiah Slough

After an open from Dave Queen in the hijack, Jeremiah Slough three-bet shoved for 148,000 on the button. Action folded back to Queen, who snap-called for 140,000.

Dave Queen: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}
Jeremiah Slough: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}

Slough was drawing dead by the turn of a {j-Clubs}{6-Spades}{4-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} runout, and he parted with almost all of his chips in the process. Slough was unable to rally and busted a short time later.

"What took you so long?" O'Brien asked.

Brad Sjostrom raised to 15,000 from the cutoff, and Jose Bermudes three-bet to 41,000 in the big blind. Sjostrom four-bet shoved for 100,000 and Bermudes called.

Brad Sjostrom: {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}
Jose Bermudes: {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}

Bermudes hit top set on the {a-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} flop to leave Sjostrom looking for running cards for quads or a straight to survive. The {q-Clubs} turn and {3-Diamonds} river blanked off, and Sjostrom was eliminated.

Marvin Donaldson Bubbles RGPS Council Bluffs

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Marvin Donaldson
Marvin Donaldson

Marvin Donaldson jammed for 45,000 on the third hand of hand-for-hand play from the small blind, and Zach Davidson called in the big blind.

Marvin Donaldson: {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}
Zach Davidson: {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}

Donaldson improved to a full house on the {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{10-Spades} flop, but one of the worst cards in the deck peeled off on the {10-Diamonds} turn, giving both players quads, but Davidson's ace-kicker was in front. Donaldson's only hope was for an ace on the river to chop, but he ended up as the bubble boy when the {9-Clubs} river hit the felt.
