Mike Shin
Mike Shin

A player opened on the button for 6,000 and was flatted by Mike Shin in the small blind and Kevin Berthelsen in the big blind.

All three players checked on the {6-Spades}{10-Spades}{2-Hearts} flop, but Shin led out for 8,000 on the {5-Diamonds} turn. Both of his opponents quickly folded and Shin chipped up.

Jaffee Cut Down by Kings

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

The dealer was already counting out chips on a {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{k-Clubs} board, where it appeared a player was all-in with {k-Hearts}{k-Spades} against the pocket eights of Jared Jaffee, who was forced to surrender a large portion of his stack.

Level: 13

Blinds: 1,500/2,500

Ante: 2,500

Moon Getting Short

Level 11 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Benjamin Moon opened to 4,000 from the cutoff and found one caller in the big blind.

The flop came {q-Clubs}{3-Spades}{6-Diamonds} and the player in the big blind checked to Moon, who continued for 3,500. The big blind then check-raised to 11,000, sending Moon deep into the tank. Another player at the table eventually called the clock and tournament staff began a 30-second countdown until Moon's hand would be declared dead. Moon allowed the count to reach zero and he was forced to muck his hand.

Ace on the River for Berthelsen

Level 11 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Kevin Berthelsen
Kevin Berthelsen

Kevin Berthelsen opened to 3,500 from early position and was flatted by a player on the button. Another player in the big blind squeezed to 11,500 and Berthelsen then 4-bet to 28,500 after some thought. The button immediately folded and the player in the big blind tanked for quite some time before decided to flat with just 8,000 behind.

The flop came {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{4-Hearts} and Berthelsen's opponent open-shoved. Berthelsen snap-called and hands were face up.

Berthelsen: {a-Clubs}{q-Spades}
Big blind: {9-Clubs}{9-Clubs}

Berthelsen was well behind and would stay that way on the {2-Clubs} turn, but the {a-Spades} river struck gold for Berthelsen and he eliminated his opponent with a pair of aces.

Smith Catches Jack to Survive

Level 11 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

A short-stacked Jerod Smith shoved for his last 19,000 from the cutoff and was called directly behind from the player on the button. Everyone else folded and hands were revealed.

Smith: {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}
Button: {a-Clubs}{q-Spades}

Smith was dominated and in rough shape, but the {6-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{5-Spades} runout left Smith with a pair of jacks on the turn and he doubled through.
