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."

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.

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.

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.

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.
