Matt Alexander Doubles Up Another Player

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante

Matt Alexander is having a tough go today. He was previously involved in a big hand with Blake Bohn, and when we approached the table, Alexander had just called an opponent's all-in on a {2-Clubs}{7-Spades}{8-Spades} board.

Alexander turned over {j-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for top pair, but unfortunately his opponent turned over {a-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} for a higher kicker.

The {4-Spades} turn and {8-Diamonds} river failed to improve Alexander's hand and he was left with 25,000 after doubling up his opponent.

Two Pros Battle It Out

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante

Matt Alexander raised to 1,300 under the gun, Blake Bohn reraised to 3,500, Alexander four-bet to 11,000, and Bohn called.

The flop came {q-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}. Alexander lead for 9,000, Bbohn shoved all in, and Alexander quickly folded.

Bohn slid his cards in front of Alexander for him to look at, but Alexander chose to slide them forward into the muck without looking.

Bohn said, "I wish you had queens there. I had the best possible hand."

Sandness and Kurfman Battle

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Mark Sandness raised under the gun, and a player in middle position, as well as John Kurfman on the button, both called.

All three players checked the {2-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{4-Hearts} flop.

Sandness lead out for 3,000 when the {3-Hearts} came on the turn. The player in middle position folded, Kurfman raised to 6,000, and Sandness quickly called.

Sandness check-called a bet of 5,000 from Kurfman when the {10-Spades} hit on the river.

Sandness showed {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds} and Kurfman showed {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades} resulting in a chopped pot for both players.

DJ Buckley check-raised to 11,000 from the big blind on a board reading {6-Spades}{3-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{7-Spades} after a player in the hijack bet 3,000. The player called.

Buckley then open-shipped 19,000 on the {a-Clubs} river. His opponent tanked for over four minutes before eventually folding his hand.
