Sandness Five-Bets
Level 17
: 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
We found Rodney Colson with a bet of 78,000 in front of him in middle position, what looked to be a four-bet against big blind Mark Sandness. Sandness had responded by shoving for 213,000, and Colson shook his head and mucked.

Belland Three-Outed
Level 17
: 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Josh Dahlstrom opened for 11,000 on the button and then called the shove of a short-stacked Steve Belland, who had about 60,000.
Dahlstrom: 
Belland: 
Belland stood and clapped softly when the 
flop gave him top pair, but he didn't like it near as much when a 
hit the turn. A 
river didn't save him.

Swangstue Doubles Through Tucker
Level 16
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Gary Swangstue opened for 12,000 under the gun, and Issac "Rungood" Tucker made it 50,000 to go from the next seat. Everyone else folded, though Jason Seitz thought about getting his stack in from the blinds, and Swangstue put his 71,000 total in. Tucker called.
Tucker: 
Swangstue: 
Swangstue's situation improved considerably on the 
flop, which gave him a set, and a fourth ten appeared on the turn to seal it.
