Arbaugh Takes Four-Bet Pot from Boas

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Brian Arbaugh opened for 80,000 in middle position, and Toby Boas made it 175,000 on his left. Arbaugh four-bet to 430,000, and Boas thought awhile and called. The two checked the {4-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{8-Spades} flop and saw a {3-Spades} turn. Arbaugh bet 300,000 and was called. Action went check-check on the {7-Diamonds}, and Arbaugh flipped {q-Clubs}{q-Hearts}. Boas showed {j-}{j-}.

Boas, Arbaugh Continue Battling

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

It seems clear that Toby Boas and Brian Arbaugh are destined for a big clash. Boas has already three-bet Arbaugh multiple times from his left, but in one recent pot he opted to call a raise to 95,000 in a blind battle. Boas called another 105,000 on the {a-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} flop, and Arbaugh checked the {10-Hearts} turn. He then called 150,000 from Boas, and both checked the {4-Spades} river.

"Pair," Arbaugh said.

Boas flipped {k-Spades}{10-Diamonds} and Arbaugh sighed and mucked.

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
KC Collins - 6th Place
KC Collins - 6th Place

KC Collins limped under the gun and then called 150,000 from button Jeff Klein on the last hand before break. Collins called off his last 50,00 or so on the {8-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} flop.

Klein: {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}
Collins: {a-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}

Collins picked up some outs on the {3-Hearts} turn with a gutter, but the board paired harmlessly on the {2-Spades} river.

Boas Doubles Through Arbaugh

Level 27 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
Toby Boas

Brian Arbaugh raised to 100,000 on the button and called Toby Boas' 250,000 three-bet. Boas opted to check the monotone {a-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{3-Clubs} flop, and Arbaugh bet 200,000. Boas called, and two checks followed the {6-Hearts} turn. Boas checked the {10-Diamonds} river, and Arbaugh said he was all in after thinking briefly. Boas snap-called and tabled {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}, as Arbaugh mucked his hand.

Boas Picks Off Klein

Level 27 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Toby Boas defended his big blind from a button min-raise by Jeff Klein. Boas check-called 150,000 on the {k-Spades}{7-Spades}{7-Diamonds}, and an {a-Diamonds} was followed by two checks. Boas checked the {9-Clubs} river, and Klein bet 300,000. Boas thought it over for a minute or two and tossed in a call.

Klein showed {8-Hearts}{6-Hearts} for an airball, and Boas had {9-Spades}{6-Spades}.

Andrew Dykeman Eliminated in 5th Place ($22,935)

Level 27 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
Andrew Dykeman - 5th Place
Andrew Dykeman - 5th Place

Jeff Klein opened for a raise, and Andrew Dykeman shoved all in for 900,000 or so. Klein thought for awhile before deciding to make the call.

Klein: {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}
Dykeman: {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}

Dykeman's rail loudly called for a queen for the local player, but it was a straight draw appearing on the {k-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} flop. Outs were called out, but a {4-Spades} didn't answer the call. Neither did a {6-Spades} river, which took the air out of the sizable Dykeman contingent.

Arbaugh Three-Bombs Klein

Level 27 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Jeff Klein defended his big blind from 100,000 from Brian Arbaugh, and he check-called the same amount on the {8-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{6-Spades} flop. Arbaugh fired 225,000 on the {j-Clubs} turn and was again called. On the {5-Diamonds} river, Klein checked a third time, this time ultimately folding to Arbaugh's 655,000 shove.
