Crawford Folds River

Level 8 : 250/500, 50 ante

We caught up to find Claudia Crawford and one opponent staring down at a flop of {9-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{7-Clubs}. Both players checked to see the {5-Diamonds} hit the turn. One more check prompted Crawford to fire 1,600 into the middle. Her opponent called and the river brought a third diamond, the {6-Diamonds} to be exact.

Crawford's opponent bet 4,000 into her and she went into the tank for well over a minute. Eventually, she opted to release her cards and the pot was pushed toward her opponent. Crawford currently is sporting a stack of about 33,000.

Lee Long Gone

Level 7 : 200/400, 50 ante

On a flop of {2-Clubs}{A-Spades}{5-Clubs}, Bernard Lee led out with a bet of 3,450. His opponent went into the tank for well over a minute before finally deciding on calling.

The turn was the {K-Clubs} and Lee wasted no time announcing that he was all in for over 7,000 more. His opponent snapped him off and showed {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds}.

"Wow," said Lee. "That was a great card for you!" He rolled over {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} and was drawing dead to the river.

The {Q-Diamonds} completed the board and just like that Lee's fate was sealed.

Massey Cracks Aces to Double

Level 6 : 150/300, 25 ante

We missed the details of this hand but Aaron Massey was kind enough to recount them to us.

He opened to 675 from under the gun and and another player made it 1,400 to go. Another player cold called and it came back around to Massey who called as well.

The flop was {K-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{4-} and Massey checked. His opponent pushed out a c-bet of 1,200 and the third player folded. Massey shipped all in and his opponent threw his hands up the air and announced a call.

Massey: {K-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}
Opponent: {A-}{A-}

Massey was ahead with his two pair and stayed that way through the {3-} turn and the {2-} river. He's now sitting on about 35,000 in chips.

Defending Champ Jewell Busts

Level 6 : 150/300, 25 ante

We got to the table to see a short-stacked Kurt Jewell all in for his tournament life against an opponent.

Jewell: {A-Hearts}{5-Spades}
Opponent: {A-Clubs}{K-Spades}

The flop came {6-Spades}{7-Hearts}{8-Hearts} and Jewell gave himself a bunch more outs with his open-ended straight draw. The turn was the {J-Spades} and no help to Jewell and he needed to catch on fifth street to stay alive in the tournament. Alas, the river brought the {7-Clubs} and he was sent to the rail.

Jewell will most certainly return to the felt tomorrow to try once again to defend his title.
