Shane Nelson Scared of "Cameras"

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

Shane Nelson raised to 1,600 on the button, and the big blind called, and checked dark.

"I would bet dark, but I better be good since the cameras are watching," he joked as he turned and looked at the PokerNews blogger.

The flop came {q-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{6-Clubs}, and Nelson fired 1,700. His opponent folded, and Nelson showed the {a-Clubs}.

Jeff Grimes Calls and Folds the River

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

On a board reading {a-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{2-Hearts}, a player in the hijack check-called a bet of 5,000 from Jeff Grimes.

Both players checked the {q-Diamonds} turn.

The player in the hijack led out for 5,000, and Grimes called.

His opponent showed {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs} for top pair, and Grimes tossed his cards into the muck.

Matt Alexander Doubles Through Blake Bohn

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

A player in middle position raised to 1,300 and Matt Alexander shoved all in for 2,775 total.

Action folded to Blake Bohn in the small blind, and as Bohn was thinking for a moment the original raiser said, "this is a one man show."

Bohn bet 50,000 and said, "Yes is is."

The big blind folded as did the original raiser.

Bohn: {9-Clubs}{9-Spades}
Alexander: {6-Hearts}{7-Hearts}

"Wow, a pair of nines, that's risky," said Allen Kessler.

The board ran out {10-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{j-Hearts}, giving Alexander the flush on the river.

John Pierce Triples Up

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

John Pierce shoved all in under the gun and got called by the player to his direct left, as well as Tim Colby on the button.

When the flop came {4-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}, both the middle position player as well as Colby checked.

They also both checked the {6-Clubs} turn and {9-Spades} river.

Pierce said, "You win," as he turned over his {k-Spades}{8-Spades}. But the player to his left showed {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds} for ace high, and Colby mucked his hand.

Surprised to have won Pierce said sarcastically, "I waited all day for {k-Spades}{8-Spades}," and a few players at the table giggled.

Stan Webb Doubles With Deuces

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

Stan Webb shoved all in when he flopped a set of deuces holding {2-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} on a {9-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{2-Clubs} flop. Unfortunately for Webb, he was behind as his opponent had flopped a flush holding {8-Clubs}{10-Clubs}.

But things turned around for Webb when a {4-} came on the turn, pairing the board, and giving him a full house.

And just to really drive it home, Webb rivered quad deuces when the {2-Spades} came on the river.
