Not Very Neighborly

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

A player in the hijack limped along before calling a raise to 4,800 from Gabe Neighbors on the button. After unknown flop action, the hijack bet out 8,000 on a board of {6-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}. Neighbors couldn't have looked more unconcerned as he tossed out 18,000 before munching on some chips upright in his chair. The hijack slid out a stack of blue T1,000 chips along with a T5,000 chip, making it 33,000. Neighbors immediately announced all in, and the hijack quickly mucked.

Neighbors showed {a-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} for the nut flush.

Caspers Sinking

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Tyler Caspers had a hefty stack a bit ago, but he's on the verge of busto after a recent all-in pot. Caspers held {a-Hearts}{9-Hearts} and failed to improve in a blind-versus-button battle against a player who held {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} as the board came {4-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{6-Hearts}.

Players are now on the night's final 10-minute break.

Ladies for a Lady

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Tina Bergstrom's queens held versus ace-king.
Tina Bergstrom's queens held versus ace-king.

A player attempted to limp in, but Jim Lawrence made it 4,200 from middle position. The player in the hijack called, and Tina Bergstrom shipped it for 18,700 in the small blind. The limper took the cue to fold, and Lawrence reshipped, forcing the hijack to fold.

Bergstrom: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Lawrence: {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}

The {q-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{9-Spades} flop left Lawrence in awful shape, and the {5-Clubs} ended things on the turn.

Meyers Pays Off Hinkle in Huge Pot

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Grant Hinkle
Grant Hinkle

Small blind Brandon Meyers check-called 10,000 on a board of {9-Spades}{3-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} from Grant Hinkle, who was under the gun. Meyers checked the {k-Spades} river, and Hinkle fired out 25,000. Meyers seemed perturbed as he double-checked his cards, counted his stack, then looked at his hole cards again. He cut out calling chips, shrugged, then called.

Hinkle showed {7-Spades}{7-Hearts} for a boat, and Meyers shook his head before showing {a-Hearts}{9-Hearts} for trips.
