Talmo Doubles Up

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

Dan Talmo pushed all in from under the gun for 39,300, and a player shoved over to isolate from middle position.

Talmo: {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}
Opponent: {q-Clubs}{q-Spades}

Talmo looked as good as dead when the dealer revealed the {q-Diamonds} door card, but it was followed by {6-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}, giving Talmo a flush draw and improving his equity. The {4-Diamonds} filled his flush, and he dodged the board pairing when a {j-Hearts} fell on the river.

Filtz Snakebitten Again

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Justin Filtz has ran kings into aces in two huge pots.
Justin Filtz has ran kings into aces in two huge pots.

A player in early position raised to 4,100 and was three-bet to 9,400 by Justin Filtz. Cutoff Don Coy moved in for 75,900, and action folded back to Filtz. He immediately called.

Filtz: {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}
Coy: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}

Coy slapped his bullets down, and a disappointed Filtz could only mutter "again?" in consternation, as he had ran kings into the aces of Jason Mirza in a monster pot earlier. The board ran out {q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{3-Spades}, and Filtz lost most of his stack.

Harris Holds

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Lance Harris
Lance Harris

A player limped in from early position, another player made it 4,500 to go, and Lance Harris reraised to 11,600 from the small blind. Action folded back to the raiser, who pushed all in for about 30,000 more. Harris called.

Harris: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Opponent: {j-Clubs}{j-Spades}

The {10-Spades}{k-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{a-Hearts} board was safe for Harris, and he collected the pot.

Boone, Kirby Out

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Nick Pupillo won a big race with Jim Boone.
Nick Pupillo won a big race with Jim Boone.

We found Nick Pupillo with a bet of 18,200 in front of him before the flop from the big blind. Jim Boone, who was under the gun, had shoved all in for 55,500, and Pupillo was chewing on his sweatshirt as he waited for the count. Told the total, he thought briefly before making the call.

Pupillo: {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}
Boone: {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}

Boone exited his seat as the dealer spread a flop of {k-Spades}{5-Spades}{4-Spades}, leaving Boone with two outs. He didn't get there on the {4-Diamonds} turn or {6-Clubs} river.

At another table, sponsored pro Matt Kirby busted out.

Syverud Folds a Big One to Kost

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Richard Syverud
Richard Syverud

Richard Syverud bet 7,000 from middle position on a {7-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} flop and saw Nick Kost raise all in from the button, what looked to be 49,800 total. Syverud tanked and tanked, muttering often to himself. He leaned back in his chair, scratched his head, and put his face in his palms, seeming truly pained. Finally, he mucked {a-Clubs}{k-Spades} face up after a few minutes. Kost silently dragged the pot.
