Maxwell Lineberger
Maxwell Lineberger

Maxwell Lineberger raised to 2,000 from under the gun and action folded around to Michael Rosado on the button for a three-bet to 6,000. The blinds folded and Lineberger called.

The flop was {8-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{9-Hearts} and Lineberger checked. Rosado shoved for around 18,000 and Lineberger called instantly.

Michael Rosado: {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}
Maxwell Lineberger: {9-Clubs}{8-Clubs}

Lineberger was ahead with nines and eights. The turn {2-Diamonds} and river {10-Spades} were no help for Rosado and Lineberger picked up the knockout to chip up.

Doan Pressures Lineberger

Level 7 : 400/800, 800 ante

With 11,000 in the pot and {8-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{5-Hearts} on the board, Maxwell Lineberger checked to Los Angeles-area poker player Chris Doan. Doan bet 11,500 and Lineberger spent a few moments in the tank before he called.

The turn was {7-Diamonds} and Lineberger checked again. Doan continued for 20,000 and Lineberger thought it over. After considering his options, Lineberger got away from it and Doan took the pot.

"LA players," Lineberger laughed while tossing the losing hand in the muck. "You just never know."

Black Gets Payday Shove Through

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

Christopher Black came armed with an extra incentive for anyone who called his 25,000 shove from the button.

Black placed five T-5,000 chips on top of a Payday candy bar and pushed both into the middle.

However, the treat consisting of peanuts rolled over a nougat-like sweet caramel center was not enough, and Black couldn't find a caller.
