Ace-High is Good for Bonomo

Level 5 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Justin Bonomo raised to 5,500 on the button and was re-raised to 18,500 by Keith Tilston in the small blind. Bonomo made the call to go heads-up to a flop of {j-Spades}{7-Hearts}{4-Clubs}.

Tilston led out for 22,000 and Bonomo stuck around to see the {7-Diamonds} pair the board on the turn. Tilston checked this time and Bonomo did the same. The {3-Clubs} completed the board and both players knuckled the table again. Tilston tabled {k-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} but it was no good as Bonomo showed {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades}.

Spades Rule the Board

Level 5 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Daniel Negreanu bumped it up to 5,000 on the button and Sean WInter defended his big blind. A {7-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{5-Spades} flop fanned out and WInter check-called a bet of 4,000 from Negreanu.

After the {j-Spades} hit the turn, Winter decided to lead, making a bet worth 7,500 and Negreanu called. The {3-Spades} completed the board and Winter tossed out a bet worth 18,500 getting Negreanu to fold.

Pollak's Straight is No Good

Level 5 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Ben Pollak
Ben Pollak

David Peters opened to 5,000 from under the gun and was called by Benjamin Pollak in the small blind and Ben Tollerene in the big blind. The flop came {a-Spades}{k-Spades}{3-Spades} and the action checked around to the {10-Clubs} on the turn.

Pollak led out for 9,000 only to have Tollerene raise to 35,000. Peters quickly stepped aside and the action was back on the Frenchman. He shipped all in for around 130,000 and Tollerene snapped him off.

Ben Tollerene: {10-Spades}{6-Spades}
Benjamin Pollak: {q-Spades}{j-Clubs}

Tollerene flopped a flush but Pollak wasn't drawing dead as he held the nut flush draw to go with his straight. The river brought the {3-Diamonds} and that was it for Pollak as his chips were sent to Tollerene.

Tollerene Finds a Flop He Likes

Level 5 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Ben Tollerene
Ben Tollerene

Ben Tollerene opened to 5,000 from the cutoff and was called by David Peters on the button. Anthony Zinno re-raised to 22,000 from the small blind and the action was back on Tollerene. Both he and Peters called to see the flop fall {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}.

Zinno open-shipped all in for 63,000 and Tollerene made the call after using up a time extension. Peters instantly folded and the remaining two hands were tabled.

Ben Tollerene: {k-Spades}{j-Spades}
Anthony Zinno: {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}

Tollerene out-flopped Zinno with trip jacks and was in great position to win the hand. The turn brought the {a-Clubs} and the river was the {3-Clubs} as Zinno was eliminated.
