Vang Three-Bets Jams the Turn

Level 18 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Kou Vang opened for 38,000 in the small blind, and Daniel Holmes defended. The flop brought the {3-Spades}{8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}, and Vang saw his 48,000 called. A {q-Hearts} turned, and Vang bet 78,000. Holmes cut 223,000 out of his stack and pushed it into the middle, and Vang thought briefly before announcing all in for about 130,000 more. Holmes mucked.

Holmes' Turn to Win a Race

Level 18 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Daniel Holmes, who recently lost a big flip to Kou Vang, just shoved on the button for 310,000, and Shawn Schoreck called in the small blind.

Schoreck: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}
Holmes: {5-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}

It was Holmes taking the race this time, as he had his opponent dead by the turn on the {7-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{9-Spades}{7-Clubs} runout.

Vang Outruns Holmes

Level 17 : 6,000/12,000, 1,000 ante

Kou Vang shoved 160,000 under the gun, and Daniel Holmes moved in over the top of that. The blinds quickly folded.

Vang: {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}
Holmes: {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

We were off to the races, and Vang pulled ahead when Holmes found nothing on the {2-Clubs}{k-Spades}{5-Clubs} flop. The {k-Diamonds} turn likewise did nothing, and a {2-Diamonds} river left Vang best.

Tom Annonson - Fifth Place

Tom Annonson jammed from under the gun for 173,000, and Daniel Holmes called in the cutoff. Shawn Schoreck came along in the small blind, and Kou Vang folded his big.

After the {2-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{8-Hearts} flop, Schoreck put Holmes all in for about 400,000, and Holmes quickly folded

Schoreck: {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Annonson: {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}

Annonson's Cinderella run was down to a two-outer, but he didn't get there on the {k-Diamonds} or the {9-Clubs}.

Annonson Doubles Through Souther

Level 17 : 6,000/12,000, 1,000 ante

Tom Annonson shoved for 82,000 when action folded to his button, and Will "Monkey" Souther made the call in the big blind.

Souther: {a-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}
Annonson: {j-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}

Souther was ahead, but he was left shaking his head when the flop came {j-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}. The {j-Diamonds} turn ended the hand, and a {3-Hearts} completed the community.
