Another Pot to Hosbach

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

The player in the button opened to 4,500 getting calls from Scott Hosbach in the small blind and Chris Meyers in the big blind. A {6-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{2-Clubs} flop fanned out and both Meyers and Hosbach checked. The player in the big blind continued with a bet of 6,400 only to see Hosbach check-raise to 20,000.

After some time in the tank, the player on the button moved all in for 47,000 total and Hosbach snap-called.

Scott Hosbach: {j-Diamonds}{k-Spades}
Button: {8-Clubs}{9-Clubs}

The board ran out {8-Diamonds}{7-Spades} and Hosbach sent another player to the rail, increasing his lead over the rest of the field.

Roberts Loses Race to Turley

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Mark Roberts moved all in preflop with his last 20,500 and was put at risk by Simpson Turley. Roberts was racing with his {a-Spades}{q-Hearts} against Turley's {j-Clubs}{j-Spades}. The board ran out clean for Turley and Roberts will require another bullet to keep the dream alive.

Hosbach on a Heater

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Scott Hosbach was already the chipleader in the room but with his most recent pot, has extended that lead quite significantly. Hosbach got an opponent to commit their stack on the flop of a {7-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{2-Clubs} board. Hosbach was patiently waiting with a pocket pair of kings and his opponent showed up with two queens. Hosbach faded the turn and river to bust yet another player from the Main Event.
