Montoya Knocks Out Two

Level 12 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Alex Montoya
Alex Montoya

Action folded around to the cutoff and he went all in. Al Hart called all in on the button for less and the small blind folded to put action onto Alex Montoya in the big blind. He asked for a count on the cutoff's stack and it was totaled to be 33,400, sending him into the tank for about a half-minute before throwing out chips to call.

Al Hart: {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Cutoff: {k-Clubs}{10-Spades}
Alex Montoya: {9-Clubs}{6-Clubs}

Hart looked poised for the triple and his odds were even better after the flop came {8-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}. Meanwhile, the cutoff was in good shape for the side pot as he flopped top pair as well. The turn was {10-Diamonds}, eliminating Montoya's backdoor club draws but giving him a backdoor gutshot straight draw that proved to fill as the river came {j-Spades} to score him the double knockout and further add to his stack, bringing him near 300,000.

Lehrburger Eliminates Verbeck

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Joel Verbeck
Joel Verbeck

Ethan Lehrburger opened to 5,500 under the gun and was called by the hijack. Action was then on Joel Verbeck in the cutoff and he three-bet all in for 48,400. Lehrburger called and the hijack folded.

Joel Verbeck: {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}
Ethan Lehrburger: {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}

The two were in a coin flip situation until the flop came {9-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}, leaving Verbeck in need of running cards to stay alive. The turn {2-Clubs} was of no help and left him drawing dead, wishing the table a good game and good luck as the river {3-Clubs} came on board to complete the runout.

WIth the pot, Lehrburger now finds himself north of 300,000, making him one of the largest stacks in the room.

Knapp Dusts a Shorty

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

A short stack got his last three or so big blinds in from middle position and received action from only Jessica Knapp in the cutoff.

All-In Player: {j-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}
Jessica Knapp: {q-Hearts}{j-Hearts}

Knapp was out in front and remained there the whole way as the board ran out {k-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{10-Spades}{k-Hearts}{10-Hearts} to give her a flush and score her the knockout and the small pot to go along with it.

Meyer Cracks 200K

Level 10 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Caleb Meyer
Caleb Meyer

A player limped in from early position and Caleb Meyer limped in behind from the hijack. Svetlana Martie was on the button and also limped behind before the small blind completed and Mitch Lekarczyk checked his option in the big blind.

Action went five ways to a flop of {9-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} and the early-position limper bet 4,500 once action checked to him. Only Meyer called to take action heads up to the turn {6-Spades}, where the early-position player bet another 8,500. Meyer called once more.

The dealer burned and turned the river {8-Clubs} and the early-position palyer fired out another 12,500. Meyer raised him all in and the player called.

Early Position: {j-Hearts}{7-Hearts}
Caleb Meyer: {q-Hearts}{j-Clubs}

The early-position player got his stack in with the second nuts only to have it up against the one hand that could beat him, resulting in his elimination and bringing Meyer over 200,000 as Level 11 comes to a close.
