Wazwaz Eliminates Boone

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Jim Boone
Jim Boone

Jim Boone three-bet to 75,000 preflop after Rob Wazwaz opened under the gun, and Wazwaz called. Both players checked the {10-Spades}{8-Spades}{4-Diamonds}, and the {6-Diamonds} turn prompted 70,000 from Boone. Wazwaz moved all in and Boone snap-called.

Boone: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}
Wazwaz: {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}

Boone needed a diamond, and the {5-Hearts} wasn't it.

A Milly

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

A player in middle position bet 50,000 on a board of {k-Spades}{j-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} and Travis Lauson raised to 100,000. The bettor clicked it back to 150,000 and Lauson pushed all in, seeing his opponent call it off for 400,000 or so.

Lauson: {k-Clubs}{j-Spades}
Opponent: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}

Lauson needed to fade only three outs and the river brought a {k-Diamonds} to fill him up to a boat.

Time for a 10-minute break.

Schetter Doubles Through Lane

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Kenneth Schetter bet 45,000 from the small blind on a {9-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{4-Spades} flop, and Jon Lane raised to 125,000 in the big blind. Schetter moved all in for 256,000, and Lane called.

Lane: {a-}{j-}
Schetter: {k-}{k-}

A turn {q-Diamonds} and river {j-Diamonds} wasn't enough improvement for Lane, and Schetter doubled up.

Boone Doubles Through To

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Jim Boone
Jim Boone

David To put Jim Boone all in after the latter bet a {7-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} flop, and Boone called off about 190,000.

Boone: {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}
To: {q-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}

Boone had a hammerlock with a higher pair and higher draw, but the {9-Clubs} opened up a bit of equity for To. He briefly celebrated on the {10-Diamonds} river but Boone was still best.

Lane Sends Hankin Packing; Komberec in Dire Straits

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Howard Hankin shoved for 115,000 over a cutoff open by Jon Lane, and the big blind shoved as well for less. Lane called to put them at risk.

Hankin: {3-Clubs}{3-Hearts}
Big blind: {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}
Lane: {k-Spades}{q-Hearts}

The {2-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{j-Spades} flop helped nobody, but the big blind had more to fade after an {a-Spades} gave both opponents straight draws. The {k-Clubs} sent the pot Lane's way on the river.

At another table, Ken Komberec's poor luck continued as after losing a race for heaps a bit ago he got {9-}{9-} in against the {a-}{8-} of Jerry Gumila and saw the latter his two of his three outs.

Lovelock Doubles Through Komberec

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Colin Eric Lovelock shoved all in for 158,000 in the cutoff and got called by Ken Komberec, who had the button.

"Uh oh," Lovelock said, waiting to table his hand.

The dealer instructed him to show and he put {2-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} down and was thrilled to see he was racing against {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}. A {5-Spades}{j-Hearts}{10-Spades}{3-Spades}{5-Hearts} board gave him the pot.
