Kessel Doubles Up

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante

Three players checked to the button on a flop of {j-Clubs}{2-Spades}{5-Spades}, and the player there bet 1,350. Renee Kessel made it 3,000 from the big blind, forcing everyone else out. The player on the button thought for about a minute before shoving all in and being immediately called.

Kessel: {j-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}
Button: {k-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}

The turn and river were blanks, the {6-Clubs} and {a-Clubs}, and the player on the button was forced to concede to the power of the hand known as "The Zatch."

Rags the Ticket for Vang Again

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante
Kou Vang has won recent pots with J6 and 94.
Kou Vang has won recent pots with J6 and 94.

Kou Vang raised from middle position and got two callers in the blinds. He continuation-bet 1,375 on the {5-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} flop after the blinds checked, and both players called. Everyone checked the {8-Diamonds} turn, and a {7-Spades} completed the board. Two more checks followed, and Vang bet 4,075. The small blind folded, but the big blind got some chips in there fairly quickly, only to see Vang turn over {9-Spades}{4-Spades} for a straight.

Players are on break for 10 minutes.

Bryan Gets a Bit with Overfull

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Jeff Bryan opened to 1,200 in middle position and was called by only the player on the button. Bryan bet 1,300 on the {2-Spades}{k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} flop and was called, and both players checked the {2-Hearts}. A {9-Clubs} finished the board out, and Bryan bet 2,000. His opponent immediately called, and Bryan showed {k-Spades}{q-Clubs} for kings full. The player on the button revealed the {2-Clubs} for an underfull before mucking.

Sandness Can't Call Thompson

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante
"Red Bull" Robbie Thompson
"Red Bull" Robbie Thompson

Mark Sandness was in the big blind, and he bet 5,900 on a board of {4-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} against "Red Bull" Robbie Thompson, who made the call in middle position. The river brought a {10-Hearts}, which Sandness checked. Thompson bet 8,000, and Sandness mucked his cards in frustration, clearly unhappy with the trips on board.
