Lilly Pads His Stack

Level 13 : 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante
Eric Lilly
Eric Lilly

Eric Lilly raised to 7,000 from under the gun, and a player called in the small blind.

"Well, all right," the big blind said before committing his 11,500 stack with a three-bet shove.

"Can I raise?" Lilly asked the dealer, who confirmed that he could. Lilly then four-bet shoved for 45,000, which covered the small blind. The small blind tanked for a minute, then folded.

Opponent: {k-Hearts}{5-Clubs}
Eric Lilly: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}

Lilly held on the {3-Clubs}{10-Spades}{7-Clubs} flop, while the small blind reacted visibly to the flop. The {j-Hearts} turn and {6-Clubs} flop blanked off, and Lilly eliminated the short stack.

"Good re-raise," the small blind told Lilly.

"Folded fours?" Lilly asked the small blind, who responded, "Sevens."

Level 13 : 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante
Kerry Hildebrand
Kerry Hildebrand

With a {j-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{k-Hearts} board on the felt, Kent Battles bet enough from middle position to put Kerry Hildebrand in the cutoff at risk for her last 35,000. Hildebrand quickly called.

Kerry Hildebrand: {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}
Kent Battles: {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}

Battles simply tapped the table in defeat before the {3-Hearts} fell on the river, and Hildebrand doubled up.

Battles Ousts McCarron

Level 13 : 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante
Joe McCarron
Joe McCarron

A player raised to 6,000 from early position, and Mike Fouts called in the hijack. Joe McCarron three-bet shoved for 29,500 from the small blind, and Kent Battles four-bet to 120,000 in the big blind, covering the remaining opponents. Both the early-position player and Fouts folded.

Joe McCarron: {a-Clubs}{8-Spades}
Kent Battles: {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}

McCarron picked up a few extra outs on the {8-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{k-Spades} flop, but improved no further on the {6-Hearts} turn and {4-Diamonds} river to bust.

Kinder Nears Six-Figures; Strohm Gone

Level 12 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Paul Strohm
Paul Strohm

Marty Kinder raised to 6,000 from early position, and was called by a player in the hijack, as well as a player in the big blind.

Action checked to the turn of a {10-Clubs}{k-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} board, and the big blind checked to Kinder, who bet 12,000. Only the hijack called.

Both players checked the {9-Diamonds} river, and Kinder showed {6-Spades}{6-Hearts}. The sixes were good, as the hijack could only muster up {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}, and Kinder took down the pot.

At the same time at another table, Paul Strohm got his last 16,000 in with {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}, but couldn't improve against an opponent's {j-Diamonds}{j-Spades} on a ten-high board to bust.

Lenny Hiner

Mike Fouts raised to 6,000 on the button, and Lenny Hiner called in the big blind.

Hiner check-called a bet of 4,000 from Fouts on the {q-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} flop, and the {2-Clubs} fell on the turn. Hiner checked, and Fouts bet 11,000. Hiner called.

Hiner led out for 6,500 when the {k-Hearts} fell on the river, and Fouts called. Hiner showed {k-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for kings-up, and Fouts mucked.

Galloway Leaves Green on Empty

Level 12 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

Ronald Green jammed for 18,000 from under the gun, and Patrick Galloway called in the big blind.

Ronald Green: {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}
Patrick Galloway: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}

Green stood from the table before the {8-Clubs}{2-Spades}{5-Diamonds} flop fell, and was drawing dead after the {j-Spades} turn. The {a-Clubs} river completed the board, and Galloway scored the KO with top set.
