Kirk Can't Get There

Tripp Kirk was heads up in a pot with the board reading {4-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}. His opponent checked and Kirk fired out a bet of 2,500. His opponent reached toward his stack and quickly dropped 7,000 total. Kirk announced that he was all in and was snap-called by his opponent who tabled {7-Diamonds}{6-Spades} for the straight. Kirk showed {9-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} and would need help to stay alive.

The turn and river came {J-Spades} and {4-Clubs} respectively, bringing no help to Kirk.

Musumeci Has the Boys Wrapped Around Her Finger

We saw Amanda Musumeci go to a flop out of position of {8-Hearts} {2-Clubs} {Q-Spades}. She bet 650 and her opponent on the button called. The turn brought the {K-Hearts} and Musumeci bet 1,300. Her opponent gave her a good stare and raised to 2,700. Musumeci sat for a moment, riffled her chips, did a quick count of her stack and nonchalantly tossed in a call.

The river brought the {7-Spades} and she checked. Her opponent fired out 3,800 and Musumeci sat still for a moment before moving all in. Her opponent snap-called and tabled {2-Diamonds} {2-Spades}. Musumeci had bad news for him when she tabled {8-Spades} {8-Diamonds} for an overset.

Cartwright Catapults to the Top

With the flop reading {Q-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}, Kyle Cartwright was heads up in the pot with Craig Bergeron. Cartwright bet 450 only to find Bergeron push out a raise, making it 2,100. Cartwright called and the turn brought the {J-Hearts}. Cartwright checked and Bergeron slowed down, checking as well.

The river came {K-Clubs} and Cartwright put 6,200 in the middle. Bergeron sat riffling chips for a moment and then asked Cartwright how much he had left. Cartwright counted out roughly 33,000 and showed it to Bergeron. Bergeron announced "All in" but before he could even get out his last syllable, Cartwright yelled "Call!" and stood up, tabling {K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} for a straight flush.

Bergeron calmly waited for the chips to be counted, learned that Cartwright had him covered, and finally shook his head solemnly as he walked toward the exit. Cartwright, on the other hand, now has a substantial chip lead.

Terry Troubled

Level 5 : 100/200, 25 ante

With the board reading {6-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}, Todd Terry fired out with a bet of 850. The opponent directly to his left made the call rather quickly, as did the other player in the hand. The turn brought the {9-Clubs} and Terry quickly rapped the table. The opponent to his left pushed out 2,775, which was enough to cause the third player in the hand as well as Terry to fold.

Terry is now sitting at 12,900.

Bergeron's Set Holds

Level 5 : 100/200, 25 ante

Kyle Cartwright opened the action with a limp and two other players followed suit. From the cutoff, Craig Bergeron made it 1,300 to go and received calls from the player in the small blind, Cartwright, as well as one other limper.

The flop came {J-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{A-Spades} and three different hands quickly rapped the table, checking the action to Bergeron. Bergeron pushed out 3,800 and after some deliberation, the player in the small blind folded. Cartwright shot his hand into the muck and the other limper decided to do the same.

Fourth street came {10-Clubs} and the small blind checked. Bergeron stacked all of his chips and pushed them in the middle, moving all in for 14,175. His opponent pondered for a bit, talking to himself under his breath.

"I'm gonna call it," his opponent said, tabling {A-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}. Bergeron was ahead with {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} for a set of eights. The river brought no club, and therefore no help to his opponent, and Bergeron was able to double up. He's now sitting on about 31,200.

Frankenberger Loses Some

A middle position player raised to 600 and was called by Andy Frankenberger in the cutoff and Bryan Devonshire in the big blind.

The flop fell {7-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{9-Hearts} and Devonshire checked. The original raiser continued out with a bet of 650 and Frankeberger threw out a call. Devonshire threw away his hand and the two remaining players saw the {4-Diamonds} come on the turn.

Frankenberger's opponent continued his aggression with a bet of 1,100. Frankenberger called once again and the {Q-Hearts} rivered. Frankenberger's opponent fired the third barrel, making it 2,100. Frankberger flicked his hand to the muck and is currently sitting on 18,100.
