Perez Doubles Through Syverud

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Ryan Perez

Joe Ford limped under the gun, and Ryan Perez shoved for 18,300. Rick Syverud called on his left and everyone else folded.

Syverud: {a-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
Perez: {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}

"I'm the worst," Matt Alexander said, indicating he folded the best hand.

The dealer spread a flop of {j-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{2-Spades}, and the {7-Diamonds} turn gave Perez seemingly infinite outs with overs and a combo draw. The {k-Spades} river kept him alive.

Jim Boone
Jim Boone

Ernest Garrett check-called from the small blind when Jim Boone bet 6,500 on a {7-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{3-Hearts} board. Garrett checked the {4-Hearts} river and Boone moved all in for 8,100.

"Call," Garrett said instantly.

"Nutter butters," Boone said, tabling not-quite-the-nuts: {8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}.

Garrett mucked the {5-Hearts} face-up.

"Some days you're the pigeon, some days you're the statue," Boone said.

Players are on break for three minutes.

Wilson Triples Up

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

Greg Wilson got his last 7,000 or so in preflop and was called in two spots, with one of those players all in for slightly more. Wilson had {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} and was fading {j-Diamonds}{j-Spades} and {k-Clubs}{4-Clubs}. The board ran out {6-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{a-Hearts} and Wilson tripled up.

Syverud Outdraws Barnard

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

Joe Barnard had a pink T5,000 chip in front of him, representing a bet of unknown amount on a {4-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{10-Spades} flop. Rick Syverud had made it 8,000 from the cutoff, and Barnard shoved all in for 35,000 or so. Syverud called.

Syverud: {k-Spades}{9-Spades}
Barnard: {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}

Equities were close but Barnard fell way behind on the {7-Spades} turn. The {9-Clubs} river meant Syverud took his stack with a flush.
