Chang Can't Be Stopped

Level 4 : 100/200, 0 ante

We came upon the table at the end of the hand, but saw Matt Chang involved in a heads up hand where the board read {K-Spades}{2-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{J-Clubs}. Chang's opponent pushed out a massive bet of 15,000 on the river. Chang stirred in his seat.

"This could be where I punt it off," he said before tossing in a call.

His opponent rolled over {K-Diamonds}{7-} for trip kings. Chang showed {9-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for a flush and was able to drag in yet another massive pot. He's now sitting on roughly 69,000 in chips.

Jewell Falling Early

Level 4 : 100/200, 0 ante

We caught up to find the board reading {6-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{10-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{8-Clubs}. Last year's champion Kurt Jewell was heads up with an opponent in the pot and there was about 3,800 in the center of the table.

Jewell's opponent bet 3,600 and Jewell announced a call. His opponent rolled over the {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs} for tens full of queens and Jewell flung his cards into the muck. He's now down to 6,100 in chips.

Moneymaker Pushed Out

Level 3 : 75/150, 0 ante

Four players including 2003 World Series of Poker Main Event champion Chris Moneymaker took a flop of {9-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{K-Clubs}. The big blind checked and the next player fired out 800. Moneymaker dipped into his stack and came out with a raise to 1,800. The player in the cutoff called and the big blind folded. The original bettor also called and the trio saw the {6-Clubs} hit the turn.

The original bettor and Moneymaker checked to the cutoff who fired 4,200. Just like that two hands shot into the muck and Moneymaker's opponent in the cutoff took down the pot.

Phahurat Drags One

Level 3 : 75/150, 0 ante

The board read {2-Clubs}{3-Spades}{8-Clubs} and the first player to act checked. AP Phahurat fired out 550 and the player on the button let go of his hand. The first player called and the two were heads up to fourth street.

The turn was the {7-Spades} and Phahurat's opponent checked again. Phahurat bet 900 and once again received a call.

The {10-Spades} rivered and Phahurat's opponent check-called one last bet of an unknown amount. Phahurat showed {A-Spades}{7-Clubs} for a turned pair of sevens and he took down the pot. He's now sitting on about 24,000.
