Souther Gets a Fold

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Will "Monkey" Souther called a raise to 850 in the cutoff, and he saw his opponent in middle position continuation-bet 1,125 on the {k-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} flop. Souther made it 2,700 to go, and his opponent called. On the {5-Diamonds} turn, the middle player checked and immediately folded to 3,200 more from Souther.

Alpandinar Doubles

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

Frank Alpandinar had 2,500 in front of him in the cutoff, and an opponent on the button put in a raise to about 6,000. Alpandinar counted his stack out a couple of times before pushing everything in, a raise to 18,575. His opponent quickly called, only to see Alpandinar turn over the nuts, {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}. The player on the button had {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}, and he was unable to find any improvement as the board ran out {7-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{j-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}.

Lamphere Five-Bets Horchoff

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

Michael Horchoff had 6,200 in front of him, a reraise in early position after Adam Lamphere had three-bet to 3,025 from the small blind. Lamphere made it 10,400 in response, and Horchoff tanked for awhile. After a few minutes, Lamphere called the clock, and Horchoff folded about halfway through his final minute.

Smooth River for "Captain Ron"

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

We found "Captain" Ron Hope with an all-in raise of 9,025 in front of him over a 2,200 bet from Erica Sumner on a board of {5-Clubs}{4-Spades}{2-Hearts}{6-Clubs}. After verifying the amount of the wager, Sumner decided to call.

Sumner: {9-}{9-}
Hope: {6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}

Hope had turned his six-outer, and Sumner needed a nine to prevail or a three to chop. She got neither as a {q-Clubs} fell.
