Lifson Pushes Revniaga Out

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Ronald Lifson
Ronald Lifson

A player raised to 25,000 on the button, and Vlad Revniaga three-bet to what looked like 63,000 in the small blind. In the big blind, Ronald Lifson announced he was all in. The opener called off for about 150,000. Revniaga looked distraught and asked for a count. Lifson had 238,000, and Revniaga ultimately decided to fold.

Lifson: {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}
Button: {k-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}

Revniaga winced when the hands were tabled, and the community of {6-Spades}{4-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} gave Lifson the win, while Revniaga walked away from the table.

Ryan Skluzak fell to Jeff Fielder's straight.
Ryan Skluzak fell to Jeff Fielder's straight.

On a board of {k-Clubs}{7-Spades}{j-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}, Ryan Skluzak had bet 31,000 from the big blind, and Jeff Fielder was all in on the button, covering Skluzak's remaining 104,000.

"You have a straight?" Skluzak asked.

"Is it good if I do?" Fielder replied.

Skluzak called off, and he showed {j-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} for trips. It was no good, as Fielder did indeed have {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} for a Broadway straight.

Kings for the Win

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Aaron Johnson
Aaron Johnson

Joe Barnard pushed all in, and Rodney Colson shoved over the top from the button, forcing the blinds to fold. He had {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}, dominating Barnard's {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}. The board ran out {9-Spades}{2-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{10-Spades}, and Colson took it with the better set.

The next hand, Ken Pates opened for a raise and then called the shove of Aaron Johnson, who had about 180,000. Pates held {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades} this time, and Johnson had {j-}{j-}. The board ran out dry, and Johnson headed for payouts.

Dennis Stevermer and Jeff Bryan also busted out.

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Everett Carlton was silenced.
Everett Carlton was silenced.

Rodney Colson bet 30,000 on a board of {a-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{2-Hearts} from the big blind, and Everett Carlton raised to 74,000 from middle position. Colson made the call, and the two saw the {3-Hearts} hit the board. Colson checked, and Carlton moved all in. The count was 110,000, and Colson went deep into the tank as Carlton sat silently. After about three minutes, Colson splashed in a few chips.

Cat-quick, Carlton shot out of his chair and flipped {k-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}, grabbing his coat as he knew his pair of kings could never be good. Colson turned over {a-Spades}{2-Spades} for two pair.
