Singh Gets a Double KO

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Raminder Singh
Raminder Singh

Our friends at the Seminole Coconut Creek Poker blog caught a big hand before the two-table redraw. Jeffrey Morrison opened to 35,000 from the cutoff and Raminder Singh called on the button. Walter Bravo three-bet shoved from the big blind for 187,000 and Morrison four-bet shoved for 200,000 total.

“Two for the price of one?” Singh said before he called with the bigger of the three stacks.

Raminder Singh: {5-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}
Jeffrey Morrison: {j-Spades}{10-Spades}
Walter Bravo: {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}

Singh was ahead with the fives and took a commanding lead on the {q-Spades}{6-Hearts}{5-Clubs} flop with a set of fives. The {a-Diamonds} turn left Bravo drawing dead and Morrison looking for one of the last three kings to make a straight. The river was the {8-Spades} to send Morrison out in 20th and Bravo in 21st.

Mammon Falls to Chip Leader Nolin

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Adam Mammon
Adam Mammon

Adam Mammon jammed for around 50,000 from the button, and was at risk against Joseph Nolin in the big blind.

Adam Mammon: {a-Spades}{6-Spades}
Joseph Nolin: {a-Clubs}{4-Clubs}

Nolin found a flush draw on the {j-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{10-Spades} flop, but it was the {4-Hearts} turn that brought him the victory, once the {8-Hearts} river failed to catch Mammon back up.

Alex Funes: {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs}
Stephen Smith: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}

Funes picked up an open-ended straight draw on the {9-Spades}{7-Hearts}{8-Clubs} flop, but would improve no further on the {q-Spades} turn or {5-Diamonds} river to bust.

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Scott Baumstein
Scott Baumstein

Joseph Nolin three-bet an early position open for 22,000 to 100,000, and Scott Baumstein four-bet to 210,000 in the small blind. Action folded back to Nolin, who five-bet shoved for 552,000, and Baumstein called off for 478,000 total.

Scott Baumstein: {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Joseph Nolin: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}

Baumstein was coolered in a monster pot, and wouldn't come from behind on the {7-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} runout to be knocked out, while Nolin becomes the first to cross a million chips.

The Cannon Misfires

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Mark Cannon
Mark Cannon

David Albertson raised to 25,000 from middle position, and Mark Cannon called in the cutoff.

Albertson checked the {q-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{3-Hearts} flop, then snap-called when Cannon jammed for 41,000.

Mark Cannon: {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}
David Albertson: {q-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}

"Oh no, queen-three?" Cannon said.

Cannon picked up a gutshot on the {10-Clubs} turn, but bricked the {3-Spades} river, and Albertson earned the knockout and a fist bump from Cannon in the process.

Eric Landau
Eric Landau

Eric Landau jammed for 105,000 from the small blind with an {8-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{6-Spades}{a-Clubs} board on the felt, and Anwar Shawn Mohamed made the call in middle position.

Eric Landau: {5-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}
Anwar Shawn Mohamed: {6-Hearts}{6-Clubs}

Mohamed was able to fade the double-gutshot of Landau in style, when the {6-Diamonds} fell on the river to give him quads.

"High hand!" the dealer called out jokingly, and Mohamed scored the knockout.

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Stephen Smith
Stephen Smith

Stephen Smith was all in and at risk for his last 46,000 from early position against Adam Mammon from under the gun.

Stephen Smith: {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs}
Adam Mammon: {a-Spades}{10-Spades}

"Wow!" tablemate Eric Kolodny said when the {q-Clubs}{a-Clubs}{10-Hearts} flop gave Smith the nut straight, while Mammon hit two pair. Mammon failed to improve on the {2-Spades} turn or {8-Spades} river, and Smith doubled up.

Tait Can't Hit Against Bryan

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Michael Tait
Michael Tait

Michael Tait jammed for 46,000 from under the gun, and Andre Bryan called next to act to put him at risk.

Michael Tait: {k-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}
Andre Bryan: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}

"Payout!" Tait said wryly.

Tait's fate was indeed correct, as a {10-Spades}{j-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} runout left Bryan's ace-high in front.

Albertson Can't Beat Tran

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Trung Tran
Trung Tran

Trung Tran jammed for 70,000 from middle position with a {9-Spades}{6-Spades}{8-Clubs}{10-Hearts} board on the felt, and David Albertson, who recently doubled through Vito DiStefano, made the call.

Trung Tran: {q-Clubs}{j-Clubs}
David Albertson: {8-Spades}{7-Diamonds}

Albertson could only shake his head at the bad luck he had in making his straight on the turn, as Tran held the nut straight and was assured victory before the {3-Spades} could fall on the river.
