Powell Bluffs it Off to "Scratch"

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Reg Powell
Reg Powell

Thao "Scratch" Thiem bet 10,800 from the cutoff after Reg Powell checked from early position on a {j-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{2-Spades} flop. Powell shoved all of his chips in. Thiem asked for a count of the raise. It was 46,200 more. He tanked for about three minutes and pushed in enough chips to call.

Thiem: {q-Clubs}{j-Clubs}
Powell: {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

Thiem had caught Powell on a stone cold bluff, but the {8-Hearts} gave him a chance with a backdoor straight draw. The {6-Clubs} river was a blank though, and Powell silently exited as Thiem dragged the big pot.

Gennady Shimelfarb bet 25,000 on a {6-Hearts}{6-Spades}{5-Diamonds} board, and the player in the small blind shipped all in for about 95,000. Todd Breyfogle, who had checked from under the gun, jammed as well for less, 56,800. Shimelfarb mucked {k-}{k-} face-up in disgust.

Breyfogle: {5-Hearts}{5-Clubs}
Small blind: {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}

Shimelfarb chuckled upon seeing the small blind's hand, and Breyfogle's boat held up as the {3-Diamonds} turn was followed by a {q-Spades} river.

Thiem Eliminates Hodge

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Thao Thiem
Thao Thiem

Mark Hodge made it 7,200 from the button after a few players limped, and Thao "Scratch" Thiem reraised to 16,700 from the big blind. Hodge called after everyone else folded, and {j-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} flopped. Thiem checked and snap-called Hodge's shove.

Hodge: {10-Hearts}{6-Hearts}
Thiem: {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}

"I think I'm gonna rebuy tomorrow," Hodge said, and he will have to despite turning some equity with the {6-Clubs}.

Marek Doubles Through

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Jed Marek moved in from second position for 14,200. A player from middle position called and showed {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}. Marek flipped over {A-}{Q-} and the flop came down {10-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{4-Spades} which was no help to Marek. A {Q-Clubs} spiked the turn, however, giving him a stranglehold on the hand. A {2-Clubs} hit the river and Marek doubled through to 32,600.
