Lim Mauled by Big Slick

Level 8 : 200/400, 50 ante

Action folded to Kevin Gan in the hijack and he open-shoved for 5,250. Aaron Lim called from the button, and after both blind got out of the way, he discovered the bad news.

Lim: {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades}
Gan: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}

Both players shared an ace, but Gan's kicker had him well out in front. The {k-Clubs}{4-Spades}{6-Clubs} flop solidified his lead by pairing that kicker, and the {5-Diamonds} turn left Lim drawing dead. The meaningless {K-Diamonds} was put out on the river for good measure, and then Gan was shipped the double.

From Little to Zero

Level 8 : 200/400, 50 ante

The action folded to Jonathan Little in the cutoff and he moved all in for 1,300. One seat over, Kasra Bakhshaee looked him up whereas all other opponents mucked their cards. It was the {Q-} {6-} of Little against the {8-Spades} {8-Hearts} of Bakhshaee and the [{10-Spades} {A-Hearts} {9-Clubs} {7-Hearts} {7-Spades} board sent Little home early.

Stark Pairs the River Against Clements

Level 8 : 200/400, 50 ante

From the cutoff seat, Shane Stark raised to 800. Scott Clements called from the big blind, and then both players checked the {K-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} flop to see the {3-Diamonds} land on the turn. After Clements checked, Stark bet 900. Clements called.

The river was the {J-Hearts}, and both players checked one final time.

Stark showed the {Q-Clubs}{J-Spades} for a rivered pair of jacks, and Clements mucked his hand.

Honeyman back on Track

Level 8 : 200/400, 50 ante
Dylan Honeyman
Dylan Honeyman

Dylan Honeyman lost some chips towards the end of the previous level and just got back to where he was. He raised from early position and then called the three-bet shove of a short stack for 3,500 with the {Q-Clubs}{J-Clubs} after all other opponents had folded.

The short stack held{8-Spades}{8-Diamonds} and was struck by one of the over cards on the turn of a {4-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} board.

More than a Little Hit

Level 8 : 200/400, 50 ante
Jonathan Little
Jonathan Little

Action folded to Jonathan Little on the button and he raised to 600. The small blind folded, but Mark Greer opted to three-bet all in for 3,975 more from the big blind. Little asked for a count and then dropped in a call.

Little: {k-Clubs}{j-Spades}
Greer: {q-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

It was a good call by Little, but Greer was drawing to two live cards. The {k-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} flop made things interesting as it gave Little two pair and Greer an open-ended straight draw. The {8-Hearts} turn was equally as exciting as for Greer as he picked up a flush draw. The dealer burned one last time and put out the {7-Hearts}. Greer hit his flush to double while Little took a big hit to his stack.

Ly Takes from Guerin

Level 7 : 150/300, 25 ante

Zane Ly bet 1,700 on the {10-Clubs}{9-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} board. Didier Guerin made the call, and the river completed the board with the {K-Hearts}. Ly checked, and Guerin fired out 1,950. Ly check-raised to 4,300, and that sent Guerin deep into the tank. After a minute or so of hard thought, Guerin folded, and Ly won the pot.

A Mountain for Mountt

Level 7 : 150/300, 25 ante

We didn't catch the entire betting action, but we can tell you Danny Mountt ended up being all in with the {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts} as the shortest stack out of three players, involved for his last 7,775 in chips. He faced the {A-Spades}{K-Hearts} and the {3-Clubs}{3-Hearts} from his opponents.

There was no help for either player on the {9-Spades}{5-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{J-Clubs} board, and Mountt tripled up.
