Keeline Doubles Through Edelstein for a Second Time

Level 28 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

Jason Zarlenga opened for 130,000 from the button and Rob Edelstein called from the small blind. Ben Keeline then three-bet jammed for 810,000 from the big, Zarlenga folded, and Edelstein snap-called.

Keeline: {5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}
Edelstein: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}

It was a flip, and Keeline managed to hold as the board ran out {2-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{a-Clubs}, which actually gave him a wheel. With that, Keeline has moved into second chip position.

Keeline Headlines Broadway

Level 28 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

Ben Keeline dwindled significantly as he waited to pick up a hand, and he decided to go with one under the gun for his last 375,000. Rob Edelstein called from the big blind and the cards were turned up.

Keeline: {j-Spades}{10-Diamonds}
Edelstein: {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}

The {q-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{3-Spades} flop paired Edelstein's queen, but it also gave Keeline an open-ended straight draw. The {A-Diamonds} turn completed the said straight, and all Keeline needed to do was dodge an ace and queen on the river to double. That's just what he did as the harmless {4-Diamonds} appeared on the river.

Slow Going

Level 28 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

The players are trading blinds and antes with raise-and-take-its. We're guessing they'll be some action sooner than later as the clock continues to tick.

Huge Swing to Zarlenga

Level 28 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

Jason Zarlenga opened for 130,000 and Sunny Ali called from the big blind to see a flop of {q-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{9-Hearts}. Ali checked, Zarlenga bet 130,000, and Ali check-raised to 400,000. Not to be outdone, Zarlenga three-bet to 850,000, and then Ali four-bet to 2 million.

Zarlenga thought for a few moments before announcing he was all in, and Ali snap-folded his cards to the muck.
