Patel Rides Quads For a Living

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Kunal Patel got his last 41,100 chips into the middle after four-bet shoving with {10-Spades} {10-Diamonds}. It was momentary bad news when Corey Burbick snap-called with {J-} {J-}, but things would improve quickly for Patel.

In a big way. The flop came {10-Hearts} {10-Clubs} {2-Spades}, and that all but ended it right there. Quads held after the turn {7-Clubs} and river {6-Spades}, and Burbick drops half his stack back down to 40,000. That's a lucky double for Patel, and it moves him up to about 85,000.

Roberts Finds a Taker

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Brian Roberts made the mini-raise to 2,000 before the flop, and both blinds (Matt Waxman and Fred Sigur) came along with him to the flop.

The dealer spread {A-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} {3-Spades}, and Roberts continued out with 3,800. Waxman folded, but Sigur floated to the {A-Diamonds} turn. When Roberts bet another 10,100, Sigur snuck in a raise to 26,000, and Roberts called to see the {8-Hearts} on the river. Check-check, and Sigur showed down {7-Hearts} {7-Clubs}. Roberts had that beat with {A-Spades} {4-Diamonds}, and he's moved his stack up to 90,000 with that pot.

Sigur is back down to 55,000.

Thomas Doubles Through Patel

After Allen Kessler called from the cutoff, Kunal Patel raised to 3,100 on the button. Ben Thomas shoved for 17,300 from the small blind and action folded around to Patel. After about 30 seconds he called, but saw his {A-Diamonds}{10-Spades} was crushed by Thomas' {A-Spades}{K-Spades}.

The board ran out {7-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}, safe for Thomas to double up.

A Few Chip Counts

Holley Doubles Through Vinsant

John Holley was all in for 15,100 with {A-Hearts}{8-Spades} and found action from Jeremiah Vinsant, who tabled {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs}. Unfortunately for Vinsant, Holley paired up as the board ran out {9-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{5-Spades}{6-Diamonds}.

Prescott Wins Race Against Aguiar

Chad Brown opened to 2,500 in early position. Allie Prescott shoved from the cutoff for 10,100 and Jon Aguiar re-raised all in from the small blind. Brown got out of the way, revealing {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs} for Aguiar and {7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} for Prescott.

Already having lost a flip today with big slick, this time Aguiar paired his ace. However, Prescott nailed the board as well as it came down {A-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{4-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}.

Aguiar busted shortly thereafter.
