Mackey Bounces Boone

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

After a {9-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} flop, Jim Boone bet 4,000 from the button. James Mackey made it 10,000 in the small blind, and Boone called. On the {3-Diamonds} turn, Mackey put Boone all in, and Boone called off for what looked like around 15,000.

Boone: {5-Clubs}{5-Spades}
Mackey: {a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

Mackey had his foe crushed, and the {q-Spades} river wasn't the miracle Boone needed. The online poker whiz now has a heaping stack, while Boone is done for the day unless he chooses to fire his last allotted bullet.

Breyfogle Finishes Ring

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante
Terry Ring
Terry Ring

Terry Ring bet 5,075, all he had left on a {4-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{8-Clubs} flop against Todd "sharkslayerr" Breyfogle, who made the call.

"You have a pair yet?" Ring asked.

"You have a draw?" Breyfogle replied, tabling {k-Hearts}{4-Clubs}.

Ring was ahead and dominating with {a-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} though, and an {8-Hearts} turn left Breyfogle calling for a chop. He got more than that with the {k-Clubs} river though, and Ring was sent packing.

Wolrab Has Heaps After Busting Liu

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante
Vince Wolrab
Vince Wolrab

Three checks followed a {4-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} flop, and Vince Wolrab bet 2,700. Peixin Liu called in the small blind, and the big blind made it 11,000. Wolrab called, and Liu called off for 9,200 total, creating a small side pot between Wolrab and the big blind. Those two checked down the {q-Hearts} turn and {k-Clubs} river.

Liu flipped {j-Spades}{8-Hearts}, clearly not expecting to win, and the big blind had it beat with {4-Clubs}{3-Clubs}. Wolrab had everyone smashed with {3-Hearts}{3-Spades} for a set though, and he dragged the pot to add to his room-leading stack.

Mackey Gets Paid

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante
James "mig.com" Mackey
James "mig.com" Mackey

On a flop of {6-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}, James Mackey bet 1,300 from middle position and was called by small blind Aaron Johnson. The player under the gun made it 3,200, and Mackey reraised to 8,500, forcing out Johnson. The under-the-gun player called, and the turn brought a {2-Hearts}. The first player checked, and Mackey bet 12,000, about half of his stack. His opponent shoved, and Mackey called with a locked in hand, {4-Hearts}{4-Spades} for a set against {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}. He doubled up after the dealer placed the {k-Spades} as the meaningless river.

Johnson, Auker Take All Ins

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante

Aaron Johnson just doubled up his 5,600 stack when he was able to hold all in preflop with {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts} against {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}.

At another table, Ken Auker got all in blind versus blind with {k-Hearts}{k-Spades} against the big blind's {a-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}. The big blind had about 14,500, and all of it went to Auker after a board void of any help for the big blind.

Decker Doubles Through Ring

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante

Todd Breyfogle opened for a raise to 1,100 and got three-bet to 2,600 by Terry Ring in the cutoff. In the small blind, Shaun Decker shoved for 9,400, and Breyfogle folded. Ring quickly called.

Ring: {q-Hearts}{q-Spades}
Decker: {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}

The board ran out {4-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}, giving Decker the win with a set. Breyfogle said he folded deuces.
