Vanier Gets a Nice Turn to Bust Boone

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Mike Vanier has the biggest stack at the moment.
Mike Vanier has the biggest stack at the moment.

According to Jim Boone, he opened for a raise and got three-bet to 13,500 by Mike Vanier. Boone called, and the two checked a queen-jack high flop. A {k-} hit the turn, and Boone bet 18,000. Vanier put him all in, and he called off with {q-}{j-} for queens up. Unfortunately for Boone, Vanier had turned a better two pair with {k-}{j-}, and Boone busted when he failed to fill up on the river.

Peixin Liu flopped top set.

Peixin Liu and Thao Thiem checked an {a-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{7-Spades} flop, and a {6-Spades} hit the turn. Liu, who was under the gun, bet 8,000 and Thiem called from the button. A {7-Diamonds} hit the board on the river, and Liu came out with a hefty 25,000. Thiem thought briefly before making the call, and Liu showed him {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs} for top full house.

Players are on the final 10-minute break of the night.

Howard Busts Yeh

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Anthony Yeh
Anthony Yeh

Anthony Yeh checked from under the gun on a {2-Spades}{10-Hearts}{8-Clubs} flop, and Taylor Howard bet 4,500. Yeh made it 12,000, and Howard wasted little time pushing all in. Yeh tanked for a couple of minutes before announcing call of his 60,000 or so.

"I have a set," Howard said, flipping {2-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}.

"Nice hand," Yeh said as he tabled a nearly-dead {10-Clubs}{7-Hearts}.

The {5-Hearts} turn sealed it for Howard, and Yeh's once-large stack is now gone.

Grimes Doubles

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Jeff Grimes
Jeff Grimes

We found Jeff Grimes all in for 13,500. His opponent thought for awhile before making the call.

"Well, he's not saying nice call, so I must be in trouble," the caller remarked.

Grimes: {q-Hearts}{q-Spades}
Opponent: {a-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}

The {5-Spades}{7-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{8-Hearts} board left Grimes' queens best for the double.

Schertz Sees the Perfect Flop Against Lauson

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

We found Travis Lauson, in the hijack, calling a three-bet to about 8,000 from Kyle Schertz on the button. After the {4-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{a-Hearts} flop, Lauson checked and Schertz bet about 7,000. Lauson instantly announced all in, and Schertz dropped calling chips in just as quickly.

Schertz: {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}
Lauson: {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}

Lauson needed a queen, but he missed the {10-Diamonds} turn and {9-Diamonds} river, so he sent 40,100 to Schertz.
