Gonzales Doubles Through Hodge

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Danny Ray Gonzales
Danny Ray Gonzales

Mark Hodge opened for 5,200 in middle position and saw Danny Ray Gonzales jam for 11,600 in the hijack. Hodge called.

Hodge: {q-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}
Gonzales: {a-Clubs}{10-Spades}

Hodge didn't like his hand, but he had live cards. The board ran out {2-Spades}{6-Spades}{9-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}, causing the dealer to stare at Hodge's hand for a second. Unfortunately for Hodge, the board had danced all around him, and the ace-high was best.

Wasicka Doubles Through Anderson

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Paul Wasicka
Paul Wasicka

A flop of {5-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{6-Hearts} had prompted a flurry of action at Paul Wasicka's table, where we found him all in for 78,600. Another player was already all in for about 21,000, and Steve Anderson, who had already had a pile of chips in, opted to call.

Anderson: {j-Spades}{10-Diamonds}
Wasicka: {5-Diamonds}{5-Spades}
Third player: {k-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}

Wasicka had a hammerlock on the hand, and the {8-Spades} turn made the pot his.

Mader Sent Packing

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Phil Mader
Phil Mader

Phil Mader put his 35,000 or so stack at risk from early position, and action folded to Michael McCloud, who reraised from the small blind. The big blind mucked, and Mader saw he was in bad shape.

Mader: {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}
McCloud: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}

"All I need's a nine," the optimistic farmer said, but he found no such card as the {2-Hearts}{4-Spades}{7-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{q-Clubs} rolled off the deck.

Beauprez's Top-Top Good

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Noomis Jones flopped a losing top pair.
Noomis Jones flopped a losing top pair.

Jason Zarlenga opened for 4,200 in early position and was called by Noomis Jones in the small blind. Big blind John Beauprez made it about 13,000 to go, and both opponents called. The flop brought {4-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{q-Spades}, and Jones checked. Beauprez continuation-bet 18,000, getting a fold from Zarlenga. Jones was stickier though, and put in a raise of 25,000 more. Beauprez thought only briefly before moving all in, and Jones called for 60,100 more.

Beauprez: {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}
Jones: {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}

It was the worst-case flop for Jones, and he found no king on the last two streets as tens fell.

Beauprez has $585,311 in live tournament earnings, with most of it coming when he captured a bracelet during last year's World Series of Poker in Event #4: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em Six-Max.
