Jewell Crippled

Kurt Jewell crippled.
Kurt Jewell crippled.

Kurt Jewell opened near the button, a player three-bet to 7,900 on the button, and then a third player in the blinds four-bet shoved for 30,800. Jewell re-shoved, the player on the button mucked, and the hands were tabled.

Showdown

Jewell{a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}
Opponent{7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}

The board ran {q-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}, and Jewell was crippled to just 13,300 chips.

Weizer Almost Convinces Engel

Level 12 : 700/1,400, 200 ante

From under the gun Ari Engel opened for 3,000, Joshua Weizer called from the button and the small blind called as well. The flop came {2-Spades} {A-Spades} {10-Hearts} and all three players checked. The turn brought the {7-Hearts} on board, the small blind checked and Engel bet 2,100. Weizer raised to 6,200, the small blind got out of the way and Engel made a thoughtful call.

The river paired the board with the {2-Diamonds} and Engel checked. Weizer bet 11,100 and Engel took some time to think. After a few moments Engel called and Weizer smiled as he tabled {5-Hearts} {4-Hearts} for a busted straight and flush draw. Engel tabled {A-Diamonds} {J-Hearts} for aces up and took the pot.

Jaffee Preorders Buzgon's Book

Daniel Buzgon - future author?
Daniel Buzgon - future author?

A short-stacked player was all in preflop against Daniel Buzgon, and Buzgon's {a-Clubs}{8-Hearts} had his opponent's {8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} crushed. The board ran {k-Spades}{q-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{2-Hearts}, and Buzgon recorded the knockout.

"How do you get it in there with ace-eight and have him drawing to three outs?" Jared Jaffee joked. "The day your book comes out, I'm going to be the first in line at Barnes & Nobles."

The table laughed.

"I haven't played in a while," Buzgon responded, grinning.

Diamonds in the VIP

The action folded to Phong "VIP" Nguyen, who raised to 4,000 from the small blind. The player in the big blind moved all in - having Nguyen well covered - and Nguyen went into the tank.

"I hope we're flipping," Nguyen said, tossing the rest of his chips forward.

He wasn't.

Showdown

Nguyen{a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}
Opponent{a-Hearts}{q-Spades}

The dealer burned one card then fanned {j-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}.

"WOW!!!" Nguyen exclaimed.

The {4-Diamonds} on the turn gave Nguyen the nut-flush, ending the hand, and a meaningless deuce fell on the river to complete the board. Nguyen was fortunate, and doubled to 68,000 chips.
