Dembiec Gets a KO; Eclipses Six Figures

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Steven Dembiec
Steven Dembiec

Action folded around to the hijack and he shoved all in for around 15,000. Steven Dembiec was waiting in the big blind and called when it became his turn to do so.

Hijack: {a-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}
Steven Dembiec: {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

The board came {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{j-Clubs}{10-Hearts} to give Dembiec a full house after the runout, leaving his opponent dry on chips. Dembiec was seen with 4,200 a couple of levels ago and looked to be on his way out, but things have turned for him as of late and he now finds himself with around double the average stack with five tables and less than four hours of play left in the night.

Break Number Three

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

The remaining players are on their third 10-minute break of the evening. Registration will be open for three more levels plus the subsequent break.

Birov Rips It

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Bryan Manke opened to 2,500 from early position and received four calls behind him from James Ahlers in the hijack and Leo Birov in the cutoff. Jeremy Brown was on the button and next to act, and he made the call as well. The small blind folded and Jim Calvo defended his big blind.

The five saw a flop of {j-Spades}{j-Clubs}{j-Hearts} and action checked to Ahlers, who put out a bet of 3,000. Birov was next to act and immediately announced he was all in. Action folded back to Ahlers, who thought for about 35 seconds and then sent his cards to the muck, earning a sizeable pot for Birov without needing to get beyond the flop to do so.

Lauson Trending Upwards

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Travis Lauson
Travis Lauson

Travis Lauson defended his small blind to an open to 2,500 from the player on the button. Action went check-check on the flop {5-Hearts}{a-Spades}{q-Spades}.

The turn came {7-Clubs} and Lauson checked again. His opponent bet 3,500, which he called to bring the river {q-Hearts}. Lauson led out, firing 5,500. After a few moments, Lauson's opponent folded and he took down the pot.

Lauson had already eclipsed the six-figure mark in chips prior to the last break nearly two hours ago, and has seen that figure continue to climb over the last two-plus levels, making him one of the largest stacks in the room with the third break of the evening looming near.

Garcia Wins a Flip To Double

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Andres Garcia
Andres Garcia

Ravi Raghavan opened to 2,300 from under the gun and action made its way over to Andres Garcia, who three-bet all in for around 17,000 from the hijack. Raghavan made the call once action was back on him and the two were off to the races.

Andres Garcia: {a-Spades}{q-Spades}
Ravi Raghavan: {7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}

Garcia started out on the shorter end of the coin flip and was in need of some help. An ace on the flop gave him just that and a clean turn and river scored him the double.

"Had a Pretty Good Draw!"

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Aaron Johnson saw action folded to him in the cutoff and opened to 2,300. He was called by Bryan Manke, who was on the button as well as James Ahlers, who defended his big blind. The flop dropped {j-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{q-Clubs} and all three players checked.

The turn fell {k-Hearts} and Ahres led out, betting 1,500. Johnson was next to act and announced a raise to 6,500. Manke quickly got out of the way.

"Sixty-five?" asked Ahlers. The dealer confirmed. "Sixteen-five," Ahlers then said, putting in matching chips to his announced three-bet size.

Johnson immediately sent his cards to the muck in response, resulting in a won pot sans showdown for Ahlers.
