All That Work for Nothing?

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

Hank Mlekoday raised to 3,000 from under the gun, and a player in the cutoff called. Mlekoday led for 3,000 and was again called when the flop fell {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{j-Clubs}. Both players checked the {5-Diamonds} turn. Mlekoday bet 4,000 when the river came the {7-Spades}, and his opponent called.

Mlekoday turned over {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts} and his opponent turned over {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}. His opponent said, "I thought we were chopping."

A player not involved in the hand questioned, "All that work for nothing?" and smiled.

Alberto Briones Takes One Down

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

A player in middle position made it 1,500 to go. Nate Fair called, as did Alberto Briones in the cutoff and both blinds.

The blinds checked the {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{6-Hearts} flop, and the original raiser bet 2,500. Only Briones called.

The original raiser bet 3,300 when the {9-Hearts} came on the turn, and again Briones called.

Both players checked the {j-Hearts} river.

The original raiser said, "Pair of nines," as he turned over {q-Clubs}{9-Clubs}. But Briones turned over {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} to win the pot.

Robert "Poker Sniper" Wood Eliminated

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

A player in middle position raised to 1,500. Robert Wood, affectionately known in the poker world as "Poker Sniper", raised to 5,500. The original raiser shoved all in, and Wood made the call.

Wood: {a-}{k-}
Opponent: {k-}{k-}

Wood said, "I need an ace here."

After the flop came {q-}{j-}{x-} he said, "Or a ten."

But the turn and river did not improve Wood's hand and he was sent to the rail.

Vu Truong Doubles

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

A player in early position checked the {a-Clubs}{8-Spades}{6-Spades} flop, and Vu Truong shoved all in. The player tanked for a minute and then made the call.

Truong: {a-Spades}{q-Spades}
Opponent: {9-Spades}{10-Spades}

The {8-Hearts} turn and {3-Hearts} river did not improve his players hand, and Truong was awarded a full double up.

Level: 8
