Hanson Finds Triple UP while Melander Scoops Side Pot

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

The player under the gun opened for 3,000, Todd Melander three-bet all in for 9,900 from middle position and Todd Melander came over the top for 27,500 from the small blind.

After the big blind folded, the initial raiser called, and the three players tabled their hands.

William Hanson: {a-Spades}{6-Spades}
Todd Melander: {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}
Opponent: {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}

Melander was ahead with his pair of kings until an ace appeared in the window on the {4-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{a-Hearts} flop.

The {2-Hearts} came on the turn while the {8-Diamonds} completed the board on the river and Hanson collected his triple-up while Melander collected a 17,600 double.

Clock Called on Seitz

Level 7 : 400/800, 800 ante

Dan Schmidt raised to 1,600 from the hijack only to call the 4,200 three-bet MSPT Hall of Famer Jason Seitz tossed out from the cutoff.

The {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}{q-Hearts} flop saw Schmidt check-call the 4,000 continuation bet from Seitz and the {k-Hearts} fell on the turn putting three hearts on the board.

Schmidt quickly jammed for 33,800 sending Seitz deep into the tank. After a few minutes passed, another player at the tabled called clock on Seitz and he couldn't muster a call as his hand was mucked after a 30-second countdown.

Ozturk Dropped by Hanner

Level 7 : 400/800, 800 ante
Jonathan Hanner
Jonathan Hanner

There were four players that saw a {6-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} flop and action was checked to Blake Anderson who fired out a pot sized 5,000 bet from middle position.

Jonathan Hanner called from late position and action folded to Umut Ozturk who check-jammed for 17,400 from early position.

Anderson mucked his hand while Hanner called, and the two players tabled their hands.

Umut Ozturk: {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs}
Jonathan Hanner: {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}

Both players held over pairs to the board, but Hanner held the better one and neither the {4-Clubs} turn nor the {2-Diamonds} river changed a thing.

Alexander Straightened Out by Miller

Level 6 : 300/600, 600 ante
Michael Miller
Michael Miller

A series of preflop raises saw Matt Alexander get his 11,500 stack in the middle from the hijack and Michael Miller isolated from middle position.

Matt Alexander: {k-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}
Michael Miller: {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}

Alexander was behind holding two overs and found them both on the {q-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{k-Spades} flop but it also gave Miller an open-ended straight draw.

Unfortunately for Alexander, his sweat didn't last long as the {9-Hearts} fell on the turn completing Miller's straight and the {8-Diamonds} completed the board on the river giving Miller the pot while Alexander reentered the tournament.
