Bohn Avoids Bubbling

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Blake Bohn
Blake Bohn

Play is hand-for-hand now, and Blake Bohn narrowly avoided bubbling out as he jammed in from the cutoff with {5-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} after a {4-Spades}{k-Hearts}{8-Hearts} flop and was called by Mike Wright, who had {k-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} in the blinds. The {4-Hearts} turn gave Bohn life with trips, but he still had to avoid some hearts and the remaining kings. He did so as a {q-Diamonds} fell.

Lech Bursts Bubble

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

Michael Lech just busted a very short-stacked player with a set of fours, and the remaining players will all be paid.

"Phwap" Takes Lead

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Kevin Boudreau
Kevin Boudreau

Jon Wurden opened for 40,000 under the gun, and Kevin Boudreau put in about 130,000 from the cutoff.

"I'm all in," Wurden said immediately with 240,000 behind. The only problem was, three players remained to act, but they all quickly folded.

Wurden should not have been so eager though, as his {j-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} was way behind the {k-Spades}{k-Clubs} of "Phwap."

The board ran out {k-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{9-Clubs}{5-Hearts}, leaving Wurden dead on the turn.

Friedman, Vang Bust

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Adam Friedman
Adam Friedman

Adam Friedman said he busted out when a player called his open with {k-}{5-} and got all in against Friedman's {q-}{7-} after a {7-}{4-}{3-} flop. Friedman turned trips that also gave him a flush draw, but his opponent binked the offsuit {6-} for the straight.

Kou Vang joined him in the payout window shortly after.

Hayes Busts Mader

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Phil Mader
Phil Mader

Phil Mader put in his 100,000 stack in middle position, and John Hayes called from the cutoff. The blinds and button folded.

Mader: {a-Hearts}{5-Hearts}
Hayes: {a-Spades}{q-Spades}

Mader asked for hearts after the {3-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{3-Clubs} flop, but his best hope was a chop after the {7-Clubs} turned. An {8-Hearts} didn't do it, and "JohnnyGstaks" shook the Nebraskan's hand as he exited.
