Keeline Chipping Up

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

According to Ben Keeline, he shoved for 40,000 effective over a bet of 11,000 on a {7-}{6-}{4-} flop. His opponent called with {9-}{9-}, and Keeline was ahead with {q-}{q-}. He said he received a sweat when the {8-Diamonds} turned to give his opponent an open-ended straight flush draw, but the river bricked off.

Adam Zych flopped a set of queens.

Adam Zych opened to 3,000 and saw a player behind him three-bet to 9,000. Zych declared all in and was quickly called.

Zych: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Opponent: {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}

Zych had two outs, but one of them appeared on the {q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{2-Clubs} board.

"Sorry," he said.

"It's poker," the unlucky player said.

Aaron Johnson ran his kings into aces.

Aaron Johnson and Hamid Feiz got in a preflop raising war, culminating in both players all in with Johnson at risk.

Johnson: {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}
Feiz: {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}

The board ran out {j-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{10-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}, giving Feiz quads and eliminating Johnson just when he appeared to be gathering momentum after his knockout of Matt Kirby.

Lautner Still Leads

Johnson Ends Kirby's Day

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Matt Kirby was done in by the river card.
Matt Kirby was done in by the river card.

We didn't see when the money went in, but we found the dealer running out a board between Matt Kirby, who held {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}, and Aaron Johnson, who had {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}. The flop was already on the felt: {6-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{4-Clubs}. An {8-Spades} turn changed nothing, but a {q-Spades} fell to give Johnson a winning pair of queens. A frustrated Kirby jetted out of his chair and stalked away.

At another table, Josh Reichard's seat was filled by another player.

"Chainsaw" Out of Gas

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Allen "Chainsaw" Kessler said he got his last 10,000 in on one of the first hands after break, and action folded to the small blind, who called with {q-}{q-}. Kessler's {a-}{10-} was dominated, and he failed to catch up.
