Roberts Doubles Through Vogelsang

Level 5 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

With the TV cameras rushing over to a table in the corner of the room, we headed over in time to see Lauren Roberts' {a-Clubs}{7-Clubs} on their backs with {7-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} on the felt, giving her sevens full. Christoph Vogelsang counted out a double worth 173,500 and sent it to his neighbor, dipping his own count below the starting stack.

Kenney Enters The Tank and Folds to Hyman

Level 5 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Bryn Kenney opened to 5,000 before Byron Kaverman three-bet next to act on the button to 16,000. Zach Hyman called from the big blind before Kenney four-bet to 53,000.

Kaverman deliberated for a few moments before folding as Hyman then announced he was all in for 384,000.

Kenney went into the tank and eventually threw in a time extension button as he continued to deliberate. Another minute went by and Kenney used another time extension button. Yet another minute passed and Kenney tossed in another time extension button before eventually releasing his hand to see Hyman pushed the pot.

Byron Kaverman

From under the gun, Byron Kaverman opened to 6,000 and Cary Katz three-bet next to act to 20,000. The action passed back to Kaverman, and he called as the dealer spread a {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} flop.

Kaverman checked and Katz bet out 14,000 with Kaverman calling as the {5-Diamonds} landed on the turn and Kaverman again tapped the table.

Katz checked behind and the river landed the {10-Spades} and Kaverman checked for a third time as Katz announced a bet of 49,000.

Kaverman paused, and then pushed out a check-raise amounting to 155,000 with Katz making the call.

Kaverman tabled his {A-Clubs}{A-Spades} and Katz tossed his cards into the muck.
