Mustafa Busts One

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Mike Mustafa
Mike Mustafa

Mike Mustafa bet 16,500 from the big blind on a {2-Hearts}{3-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{9-Spades} flop from the big blind against an opponent on the button, who made the call. Mustafa put the player all in on the {2-Clubs} river for 12,000, and he showed {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs} when his opponent called it off. The player on the button knuckled the table silently and left.

Pupillo Triples Up

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Nick Pupillo
Nick Pupillo

Nick Pupillo was the chip leader early on then said he was busted down to a few thousand before running it up to more than 50,000. Back down to his last 9,800, he shoved over a 9,500 jam from the player under the gun, and Joe Ford put both at risk from the big blind.

Ford: {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}
Under the gun: {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}
Pupillo: {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}

Pupillo had found a great spot, but both opponents picked up equity as {3-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} flopped, giving Ford a pair of queens and the other player a flush draw. Two bricks Pupillo needed, and two bricks he got as {9-Diamonds} and {7-Spades} emerged from the deck.

Kroon Makes "Worst Call of My Life"

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Mark ""P0ker H0" Kroon
Mark ""P0ker H0" Kroon

We found Mark Kroon on the button facing an all-in wager from hijack Cody Gilbertson on a board of {q-Clubs}{9-Spades}{3-Clubs}{7-Hearts}. The bet was around 35,000, an overbet to the pot.

"This would be a sick call," Kroon said. "I'm about ready to make the worst call of my life. I call."

Kroon: {k-Spades}{7-Clubs}
Gilbertson: {q-Spades}{10-Hearts}

Kroon was right, he was way behind, and the {10-Hearts} river didn't get him there. He sent Gilbertson 33,600.

Holloway Doubles With Rags

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante
Chad Holloway
Chad Holloway

Jeff Petronack opened to 2,000 in early position, and Chad Holloway jammed 15,925 from the button. The small blind called, and Petronack folded.

Small blind: {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}
Holloway: {7-Spades}{4-Spades}

Holloway had been caught shipping light, and he stood up when he saw how crushed he was. A {q-Hearts} door card was followed by {4-Hearts}{4-Clubs} though, just the ticket for Holloway. The {9-Clubs} turn and {j-Diamonds} river danced around the small blind.

Players are on break for 10 minutes.
