Davis Min-Raises Mader

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Phil Mader bet 10,000 from the big blind with the board reading {9-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{k-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}. Brian Davis announced a raise and tossed in his 10,000, followed by 10,000 more. Mader called after some thought, and both quickly checked the {5-Diamonds}. Davis showed {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds} and Mader couldn't beat it.

Alexander Vaults to Lead

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Matt Alexander
Matt Alexander

We found Matt Alexander in a huge pot in the big blind with the flop having come {5-Clubs}{5-Spades}{4-Hearts}. His opponent under the gun already had 18,000 in the pot, and Alexander had put him all in. The player called it off with {8-}{8-}, but Alexander had him destroyed with {q-Hearts}{5-Hearts}. The turn was a {j-Diamonds} and the river a {7-Hearts} and Alexander raked in a massive pot, possibly big enough to make him the new leader.

Headland Gets Shippy, Busts Gerleman

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Mike Headland shoved all in over a couple of limps for about 20,000 and picked up the pot.

A few hands later, Duane Gerleman moved all in under the gun with a stack of 22,300, and Headland jammed for slightly more. Everyone else folded, and Headland quickly turned over {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}. Gerleman had {4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}, and the board ran out clean for Headland.
