Massey Flops Quads and Doubles

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Aaron Massey
Aaron Massey

Aaron Massey just doubled on a board of {9-Hearts}{9-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{5-Hearts}. There was around 75,000 in the pot going to the river when his opponent put him in and he quickly called.

Massey's opponent's hand had already been mucked as his nearly pot-sized stack was being counted out, leaving only his flopped quads with {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} still displayed on the table. The pot was made right and shipped his way, and Massey now finds himself with a stack of

Fours Good for Maier

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Rob Maier
Rob Maier

Three-way preflop action brought 27,500 into the middle before a flop of {5-Spades}{3-Spades}{2-Spades}. The small blind checked to Rob Maier, who bet 10,000 in middle position. The third and final player in the hand was in the cutoff and called.

The small blind folded, and then Maier and the cutoff checked through the turn {10-Diamonds} and river {7-Hearts} to take the hand to showdown.

Maier tabled {4-Clubs}{4-Spades} and his opponent paused for about five seconds in a statuesque manner before regaining form and sending his cards to the muck.

Kings Versus Queens

Level 13 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Eric Siegel
Eric Siegel

A player raised to 6,000 under the gun and Jeffrey Lutes three-bet to 16,500 on his direct left. Action folded around to the small blind, where Eric Siegel deliberated for a bit before cold four-betting to 39,000. The under-the-gun opener folded and Lutes called, taking action heads up to a flop of {5-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{8-Spades}. Both players checked.

The turn came {9-Clubs} and Siegel thought for about 20 seconds before tapping the felt again. Lutes knuckled back and the river came {4-Spades}, where Siegel immediately threw out a bet of 10,000.

"Ten?" asked Lutes. The dealer confirmed and Lutes threw in chips to call. Siegel tabled {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} for a pair of kings, good for the pot as Lutes showed a second-best hand of {q-Clubs}{q-Hearts}.

Maas Loses Coin Flip To Bust

Level 13 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Sam Devers
Sam Devers

Alex Maas was under the gun and shoved all in for 52,000. Sam Devers asked for a count in the hijack and called once he got the number. All remaining players folded and the two were off to the races with Maas at risk for his tournament life.

Alex Maas: {k-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
Sam Devers: {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}

A ten-high runout of {4-Spades}{10-Spades}{2-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} left Maas' hand second best and his remaining chips were sent across the table in the direction of Devers, who now finds himself with 202,000 after knocking Maas out of the tournament.

Seitz Chips Up With Top Set

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Jason Seitz
Jason Seitz

Jason Seitz raised to 3,500 under the gun and saw Prasie Ogwo three-bet to 12,500 in the hijack. Action folded back to Seitz and he called, bringing a flop of {3-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{q-Spades}. Both players checked.

The turn came {10-Hearts} and Seitz fired 13,000. Ogwo called and the river fell {9-Spades}. Seitz bet again, this time for 38,000, and Ogwo thought for a little over a minute before electing to call.

Seitz showed {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} for top set and Ogwo shook his head before sending his hand to the muck. The dealer shipped the pot to Seitz and Ogwo tapped the table again a few moments later to signify a nice hand to Seitz once more.
