Ball Hangs Around to Bounce Back

Level 4 : 200/400, 400 ante

The turned board read {j-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} and there were roughly 22,000 chips in the pot. Collin Ball checked to Nir Cohen who bet 12,000.

Ball called to see the {7-Spades} river where he tapped once more. Cohen followed with a check and Ball turned over {a-Spades}{9-Spades} for a flopped nine. Cohen tossed his cards and Ball pulled in a healthy-sized pot.

Alex Foxen moved his remaining stack of 6,800 into the pot and Mahesh Rathi hooked him up with a call.

Alex Foxen: {k-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Mahesh Rathi: {6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}

The dealer spread out {10-Spades}{8-Spades}{4-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} on the felt and Rathi's sixes held on for the win. Foxen busted but quickly bought back into the event, taking a seat at Table 30.

Ball Slows It Down, Koch Catches up

Level 5 : 300/600, 600 ante
Collin Ball
Collin Ball

David Tobin had a raise of 3,200 in front of him from under the gun and Collin Ball raised to 8,100 in the hijack. Russell Koch was in the big blind with a decision and in the end, he raised to 16,600. Tobin quickly declined and Ball called.

The dealer fanned out {a-Hearts}{3-Spades}{3-Clubs} and Koch continued with a bet of 21,000. A quick moment of thought from Ball ended with a call. A {9-Diamonds} turn peeled off and both checked through to the {j-Hearts} river where Koch checked once more.

Ball announced that he was all-in, and Koch instantly called. Ball turned over {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} for a flopped bullet but Koch then revealed {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}, giving him a rivered boat to end the night of Ball.

Stein Takes a Flip with Foxen

Level 6 : 400/800, 800 ante
Jake Stein
Jake Stein

The second bullet of Alex Foxen had been going well, having over 120,000 chips to start the hand. Foxen opened, Jake Stein jammed 15,900 and Foxen easily called in search of another pot.

Jake Stein: {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
Alex Foxen: {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}

The classic flip saw Stein take a commanding lead on the {a-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} flop. A {5-Hearts}{8-Clubs} runout failed to hit Foxen who sent some of his newly acquired chips over to Stein.

Exciting Board Sends a Double to Tobin

Level 6 : 400/800, 800 ante

All the chips were in the middle upon arrival and {j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} had filled the community.

David Tobin was the player at risk and Maxwell Young was sending him a stack of chips. Young had {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} in his hand and was just barely behind the {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds} of Tobin in what was a cooler of a hand.
