Stone Gets Sweet River Revenge

Level 30 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante
Nik Stone got the river card he needed.
Nik Stone got the river card he needed.

Nik Stone raised to 250,000 on the button, and Ryan Jefferson came along in the small blind. Both players checked the {k-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} flop, and a {j-Diamonds} turned. Jefferson bet 300,000, and Stone shoved all in. Jefferson called right away.

Jefferson: {k-Clubs}{j-Spades}
Stone: {10-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}

Jefferson was good, but he needed to fade a a straight and flush draw, plus a six. The river was the {6-Spades}, giving Stone trips and a double, along with revenge for Jefferson spiking an out on the river all in on the turn just a bit ago.

Ryan Jefferson opened for 200,000 on the button, and Jason Sell and Nik Stone called from the blinds. Sell checked the {9-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} flop, and Stone pushed all in for 260,000. Jefferson quickly folded, but Sell thought awhile before calling.

Sell: {4-Hearts}{4-Spades}
Stone: {k-Spades}{6-Hearts}

Stone faded the two-outer on the {a-Clubs} and {8-Clubs} turn and river.

Jefferson Cripples Stone on River

Level 30 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante
Ryan Jefferson spiked an out to survive.
Ryan Jefferson spiked an out to survive.

Nik Stone limped the small blind, and Ryan Jefferson checked. Stone check-called 100,000 on the {q-Spades}{7-Clubs}{10-Hearts} flop, and a {9-Clubs} turned. Stone checked again, and Jefferson shoved all in, as he has done more than a few times when he has played recent pots. This time, Stone snap-called.

Stone: {q-Hearts}{9-Spades}
Jefferson: {q-Clubs}{2-Clubs}

Jefferson had top pair and a flush draw, but Stone had trapped him with queens up. The dealer burned and turned an {8-Clubs} saving Jefferson's tournament with a flush and leaving Stone with five big blinds.

Taylor Tollefson Eliminated in 4th Place ($23,925)

Level 29 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante
Taylor Tollefson - Fourth Place
Taylor Tollefson - Fourth Place

Taylor Tollefson raised to 160,000 on the button, and Jason Sell three-bet to 380,000 in the small blind. Tollefson pushed all in, and Sell called immediately.

Sell: {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}
Tollefson: {4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}

Tollefson had run into the rockets, and the {7-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{3-Hearts} flop put him further behind since the {4-Hearts} would give Sell a flush. A {5-Clubs} turn opened up some straight outs, but the board paired with the {3-Spades}, and Tollefson headed to get paid.
