No Naps for Blake Napierala

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

With about 13,500 in the pot, on a board reading {9-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{6-Clubs}, the small blind checked, as did Blake Napierala. The hijack bet 6,000, and the small blind moved all in for 15,300. Napierala thought about it for a minute and moved all in over top. The hijack folded.

Napierala tabled {8-Clubs}{6-Spades}, and his opponent showed pocket aces.

The turn was the {q-Hearts} and the river was the {k-Diamonds}, sending the pot Napierala's way with two pair and his opponent to the rail.

Brian Bordinaro Smashes the River

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

As expected, when a player gets aces or kings, they typically try and get all of their money in the middle as soon as they can!

This is true for both Mike 'The Mayor' Rellinger and Brian Bordinaro.

Rellinger held {a-Spades}{a-Hearts} while Bordinaro tabled {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}, while being the player at risk for his last 30,700.

The flop came {6-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}, which was fairly benign for Rellinger. The turn was a safe {8-Diamonds}, but the river was the {k-Diamonds}, causing the table to erupt.

The chips went to Bordinaro and Rellinger said, "I'm glad you only had 30,000. He had a Sabres jersey on, too. How perfect was that?"
