Matt Kirby three-bet to 4,200 over a late-position open from Jason Weber, who recently amassed a massive stack. Weber called, and he called 4,500 more on the {10-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} flop. The {8-Hearts} paired the board, and Kirby checked. Weber fired in a bet, and Kirby moved all in. Weber double-checked his cards and called, showing {q-Diamonds}{8-Spades} for turned trips. Kirby flipped {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds} and began sliding his chips into the middle, knowing he had just two outs. The {6-Diamonds} river gave Weber a boat.

Mader Slipping

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

Four players put in 2,000 on a {q-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{7-Spades} flop, and Phil Mader bet 4,500 on the {10-Diamonds} turn after two checks. Brian Davis called from middle position, and one player who checked from the blinds called. Action checked to Davis on the {a-Hearts}, and he bet 5,000. The first player folded, and Mader tossed in a reluctant call.

Davis showed {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs} for a set and took the pot.

Hodge Doubles

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante

Mark Hodge shoved his last 5,425 from middle position, and the small blind called.

"Do you have a pair?" Hodge asked.

"No."

"Then you're ahead."

Hodge was right as his {k-Clubs}{j-Spades} trailed {a-Clubs}{9-Spades}. A king arrived for Hodge on the flop though, and the rest of the board bricked out.

Phil Mader

Phil Mader opened for 1,100 and called a three-bet from Matt Alexander, who made it 3,000 on the button. Both checked the flop, and Mader led for 4,000 on a community of {a-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{k-Clubs}. Alexander raised to 10,500, and Mader jammed without delay. Alexander snap-mucked.

Thompson Pays Off Harris

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante

"Red Bull" Robbie Thompson of World Series of Poker announcing fame is in the field, though he just took a bit of a hit on a board of {k-Hearts}{5-Spades}{6-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{10-Spades}. He had bet 3,100 on the turn from the small blind and got a call from Michael Harris. On the river, Thompson checked and saw Harris bet 4,600.

"I can only beat king-jack now," Thompson said with a sigh.

He called anyway, and Harris showed {8-Spades}{7-Clubs} for the straight on the turn.

Tollefson Sees Perfect Turn

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Taylor Tollefson raised to 5,600 after an opponent in the small blind continuation-bet 2,600 on a {5-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{3-Spades} flop. Tollefson's opponent called, and they got the rest in on the {a-Diamonds} turn with Tollefson having turned a flush with {7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} and his opponent top set with {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}. A brick fell on the river, and the small blind shipped her stack of about 6,000 to Tollefson.
