Pechnik Spikes a Diamond to Crack Ladies

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

Christine Dorsey opened to 6,500 from middle position and Dan Pechnik defended his big blind.

Pechnik checked the flop of {5-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{7-Spades} and Dorsey moved all in for roughly 40,000. Pechnik quickly called and they flipped their cards over.

Christine Dorsey: {q-Clubs}{q-Spades}
Dan Pechnik: {q-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}

The {8-Clubs} turn wasn't what Pechnik was looking for, but the {9-Diamonds} river was just what he needed as he improved to a flush and sent Dorsey to the rail.

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

A player raised to 5,500 from early position and the player in the hijack called. Pat Steele came along from the big blind and they went three ways to a flop.

The action checked to the hijack on the flop of {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} and he fired out a bet of 9,500. Steele called and the preflop aggressor folded.

Both players checked the {j-Clubs} turn card and Steele splashed 18,500 into the middle on the {10-Diamonds} river. After several minutes in the tank the clock was eventually called and the player in the hijack folded {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts} face up. Steele slid his hand into the muck and collected the pot.

Kings Hold for Kilbane

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

Coleman Kilbane moved all in from early position for 23,000 and a player in middle position moved all in over the top. The rest of the table got out of the way and Kilbane showed his opponent the bad news.

Coleman Kilbane: {k-Clubs}{k-Spades}
Opponent: {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}

The {a-Spades}{3-Spades}{9-Clubs} flop changed nothing and Kilbane was also able to fade a jack on the {5-Clubs} turn and {6-Hearts} river to give him a full double up.

Greg Ruckel and John Franciosi
Greg Ruckel and John Franciosi

Greg Ruckel moved all in for 64,000 from the cutoff and the action was now on John Franciosi in the cutoff who went into the tank. Franciosi already had 15,000 committed and decided to make the call.

John Franciosi: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}
Greg Ruckel: {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts}

Franciosi was not able to find an ace, but the board ran out {j-Spades}{7-Spades}{9-Hearts}{10-Spades}{8-Clubs} to give both players a straight.

Wen Hits Two of His Three Outs

Level 10 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Xiaofei Wen
Xiaofei Wen

A player under the gun moved all in for 8,500. Xiaofei Wen was next to act and called. The action then got to the big blind who had Wen covered and also moved all in. Wen went into the tank before he decided he was priced in for his last 27,000 and called.

Xiaofei Wen: {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}
Under The Gun: {a-Hearts}{3-Clubs}
Big Blind: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}

The player in the big blind was in good shape to get a double knockout, but Wen took the lead when the flop came {8-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{q-Spades}. The {q-Diamonds} turn card locked it up for Wen and the meaningless {j-Spades} completed the board.

Gary Rizk
Gary Rizk

A player opened to 3,500 from the hijack and the cutoff moved all in for 30,000. Gary Rizk was in the small blind and slid his stack of 19,000 in the middle as well. The original raiser folded and it was off to the races.

Gary Rizk: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Opponent: {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}

Rizk was still behind after the {7-Clubs}{10-Spades}{9-Spades} flop and was one card away from elimination after the {q-Clubs} turn. Rizk stood up from his chair and called for a "jack!" as the {j-Spades} fell on the river to give him a straight.
