Massey Lets it Go

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

Aaron Massey raised to 1,700 from early position and found one caller from the big blind.

Massey continued for 1,500 when checked to on the {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{9-Hearts} flop and his opponent called.

Both players checked the {5-Clubs} turn and the player in the big blind led out for 2,800 on the {2-Clubs} river. Massey mulled it over, but eventually landed on a fold.

Bragg Scores Double KO

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante
Albert Bragg
Albert Bragg

Three players, including Albert Bragg, were all in on a {j-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{7-Spades} flop. Bragg had both his opponents covered.

Bragg: {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}
Hijack: {7-Clubs}{6-Clubs}
Big blind: {5-Spades}{8-Spades}

Bragg was a solid favorite, but would need to fade some outs to scoop the massive pot. The {j-Spades} paired the board immediately on the turn and sealed his victory with a full house. An irrelevant {q-Hearts} completed the board and Bragg scooped the massive pot.

Sears Lays it Down

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante

A player opened to 1,200 from middle position and found one caller in Dan Sears from the big blind.

Sears proceeded to check-call a 1,200 bet from his opponent on a {8-Spades}{q-Clubs}{k-Clubs} flop and a 3,000 bet on the {7-Diamonds} turn.

When the {7-Hearts} completed the board, Sears checked a final time and his opponent shoved, which was enough to put Sears all in. Sears folded after some thought.

Sears, who is a regular grinder online and goes by "BiggYBlains22", is down to 14,000

Cada Collects With Kings

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante
Joe Cada
Joe Cada

A player opened for 1,500 in the cutoff and another player in the small blind called. Joe Cada then three-bet to 6,500 from the big blind.

The initial raiser tanked and then four-bet to approximately 13,000 and action folded back to Cada, who immediately went all-in. His opponent called off for just shy of 40,000 and hands were revealed.

Cada: {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}
Cutoff: {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}

Cada had a commanding lead and would maintain it on the {2-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{6-Spades}{4-Hearts}{5-Hearts} runout, eliminating his opponent in the process.

A Few Counts on Break

Level 6 : 300/500, 500 ante

Sylvia Ramps up the Aggression

Level 6 : 300/500, 500 ante
Jesse Sylvia
Jesse Sylvia

A player opened to 1,100 from the button and Jesse Sylvia three-bet to 4,800 from the small blind. Action folded back to the player on the button, who called.

The flop came {4-Spades}{6-Spades}{3-Clubs} and Sylvia continued with a 2,700 bet. His opponent quickly folded and Sylvia scooped the pot.

Sylvia, who has more than $7 million in career earnings, including a second-place finish at the 2012 WSOP Main Event, is currently at the same table as 2009 WSOP champion Joe Cada and will be one to watch.

(Ralph) Massey Out

Level 6 : 300/500, 500 ante

A player in the hijack raised to 1,200 and Ralph Massey shoved for just over 10,000. Another player in the big blind re-shoved from the big blind and everyone else folded.

Massey: {a-Hearts}{j-Clubs}
Big blind: {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}

The {7-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{q-Hearts} runout left Massey unimproved and he was sent to re-enter if he so chooses.
