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

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:
Ethan Lehrburger:

The two were in a coin flip situation until the flop came , leaving Verbeck in need of running cards to stay alive. The turn was of no help and left him drawing dead, wishing the table a good game and good luck as the river 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.

Hill Kerby

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

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:
Cutoff:
Alex Montoya:

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

Joseph Giampetro had seen action fold to him in the small blind and raised into his opponent in the big blind, who three-bet all in for 22,500. Giampetro called.

Small Blind:
Joseph Giampetro:

The small blind was behind and his odds only got worse as the flop fell , putting him in need of running straight or flush cards to stay alive. The turn gave him four immediate outs at a gutshot, but none came as the river fell to complete the runout with Giampetro's aces up best to earn him the pot.
