Rob Wazwaz bet 11,725 from the big blind in a three-bet pot after a {5-Spades}{4-Spades}{2-Clubs} flop. Anthony Yeh made the call from the hijack, and the two saw an {8-Spades} turn.

Short-Stacked "Chainsaw" Triples Up

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante
Allen Kessler found a river savior.
Allen Kessler found a river savior.

In one of the last hands at Level 8, Allen Kessler pushed all in for what he said was nine big blinds in early position and was called in two spots. At showdown, he turned over {a-Diamonds}{2-Spades} for a rivered pair of aces, and that was good against the {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} of Leon Morford and the {7-}{7-} of the third player.

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante
Blake Bohn fired two blanks today.
Blake Bohn fired two blanks today.

Blake Bohn opened for 1,500 in the hijack and got called by the cutoff. Jeff Petronack made it 3,800 in the hijack, and Bohn called, as did the cutoff. The flop came {a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}, and Bohn moved all in for about 7,500. The cutoff folded, and Petronack agonized for a bit before calling.

Petronack: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
Bohn: {10-Hearts}{6-Hearts}

Bohn needed a heart flush, but he picked up a couple of additional outs on the {q-Diamonds} turn. The {4-Spades} bricked off the river, and Bohn wished the players good luck before making his exit.

Yeh checked and saw Wazwaz bet 12,600. Yeh thought for a couple of minutes before pushing out a raise of 12,600 more, and Wazwaz folded relatively quickly.

Yeh showed {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds} before dragging the pot.

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante
Ryan Jefferson's queens held up all in preflop.
Ryan Jefferson's queens held up all in preflop.

A player in the hijack opened for 1,500 and was called by the small blind. Ryan Jefferson shoved all in for 6,150 in the big blind, and the raiser called while the small blind folded.

Jefferson: {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}
Hijack: {a-Spades}{j-Clubs}

A flop of {10-Clubs}{j-Spades}{k-Diamonds} gave the hijack a pair and a gutter, while Jefferson now had an open-ended straight draw. The {8-Clubs} turn was a brick, and the {10-Hearts} paired the board on the end to preserve Jefferson's lead.

Dennis Petronack checked out of the hijack to Mark Sandness on the button, who bet 6,200 on a board of {j-Clubs}{10-Spades}{a-Clubs}{8-Clubs}.

Petronack had a better two pair with {a-Spades}{10-Hearts} though, and he took the pot.
