Kurtz Wins on the Turn

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Kevin Kurtz limped in from middle position and was raised to 3,200 by the player on the button. Both players in the blinds folded and Kurtz called, taking action heads up to a flop of {3-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{2-Spades}. Kurtz checked to his opponent, who made a continuation-bet of 5,500. Kurtz called.

The turn came {10-Clubs} and Kurtz led out with a bet of 7,500. His opponent thought for a few moments and sent his cards to the muck, resulting in the pot being shipped Kurtz's way.

Nelson Flops the World and Doubles

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Ryan Dodson saw action folded to him on the button and opened to 3,000. Bill Nelson three-bet all in from the small blind for 22,400 and Dodson thought for a few moments before making the call.

Bill Nelson: {a-Spades}{10-Spades}
Ryan Dodson: {4-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}

"Wow," said Dodson as the flop came {q-Hearts}{j-Spades}{8-Spades} to give Nelson a double gutshot straight draw, the nut flush draw, and two overs. The turn {k-Clubs} completed Nelson's draw to Broadway and secured him the double as Dodson was then drawing dead before the river {3-Spades} hit the felt.

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Tournament players are on another 15-minute break. The tournament clock currently displays 184 entries, meaning the 200-mark is likely to be surpassed before the registration period closes in roughly two-and-a-half hours.

Keeline Out and Back In

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Phil Kiphardt
Phil Kiphardt

All of the chips got into the middle preflop between Phil Kiphardt and Ben Keeline, both of whom were in middle position. Keeline was all in for his tournament life.

Ben Keeline: {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}
Phil Kiphardt: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}

Keeline saw a queen come on the flop {q-Spades}{j-Spades}{7-Diamonds} to give him a little hope but that was the closest he would get as the turn {7-Hearts} and river {5-Clubs} completed the runout, resulting in him heading straight to the registration desk to reenter as the pot was sent Kiphardt's way.

Kings Take it All

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Caleb Meyer
Caleb Meyer

Caleb Meyer had opened from early position and was three-bet by the cutoff before Greg Gius cold four-bet all in out of the small blind. The big blind also went all in, as did Meyer, sending the cutoff into the tank for about a minute before he folded, announcing he had folded two queens as the other three hands were tabled.

Greg Gius: {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}
Big Blind: {q-Hearts}{q-Spades}
Caleb Meyer: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}

The board ran out {4-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} to leave Meyer's kings on top and earn him the double knockout and all of the chips in both pots.
