Williams Flirts with 100K Before Doubling a Short Stack

Level 8 : 250/500, 50 ante

David Williams was getting close to that moment where he started completely running over his table. He was just south of 100,000 in chips after his {A-Diamonds}{k-Spades} bested an opponent's {k-Diamonds}{q-} in a three-way pot, {9-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}. On the turn and river, Williams' opponent check-called bets of 2,400 and 5,700 with the second-best hand.

The very next hand, Williams opened to 1,200 pre-flop. A player who had just joined the table three-bet the button to 5,100. When action passed back to Williams, he didn't hesitate to dump 38,000 into the pot, enough to set the button all in. She paused for just a few seconds before calling all in for 21,000 total with {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}. Williams showed Big Slick again, {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}, but this time he didn't get there. The board rolled out {9-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{3-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} to knock Williams back to about 75,000.

Utnage's Kings Cracked

From under the gun, Tony Utnage raised to 1,025. Action folded over to the player on the button. He made the call, the small blind called and then the big blind squeezed all in for 11,850. Utnage called and everyone else folded. The small blind showed that he was laying down two black eights.

Utnage tabled the {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} and his opponent in the big blind held the {A-Spades}{J-Hearts}. The board ran out {A-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{3-Spades}{A-Hearts}{10-Clubs} and Utnage's kings went down.

Chop for Kopp

Level 8 : 250/500, 50 ante

From early position, Billy Kopp raised to 1,200. His only customer came from a caller out of the small blind. The two players took the flop of {K-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} and the small blind checked. Kopp fired a continuation bet of 1,625 and his opponent made the call.

The turn added the {2-Hearts} to the board and paired it with ducks. Both players checked, which prompted another deuce to hit the river, the {2-Spades}. After the small blind checked, Kopp bet 4,400. His opponent called.

Both players turned over deuces full of kings. Kopp held the {K-Spades}{9-Spades} and his opponent the {K-Clubs}{10-Clubs}. Chop, chop boys.

Miller Doa Finds Out Where He's At

Level 8 : 250/500, 50 ante

We walked up to Miller Doa's table for the tail end of a huge pot. With 30,000 already in the pot and a flop of {8-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}, an opponent behind Doa was all in for his last 6,925. Doa folded after about a minute, saying, "I wanted to find out where I was at." With that fold, he knows exactly where he's at: at 27,000 in chips.
