Bazeley Busto

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

John Pierce made it 2,500 on the button, Jake Bazeley raised to 11,000 in the big blind and Pierce shoved for 45,100. Bazeley called immediately and Pierce shook his head slightly but showed {k-Spades}{k-Clubs} after Bazeley turned over {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}.

"Really?" Bazeley said with a laugh.

"Well, you snap-called me," Pierce responded.

The board ran {8-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} and Bazeley sent over all but his last 7,500.

The next hand, Bazeley called a raise from Jerod Smith and checked down {7-}{q-}{a-}{7-}{2-} until he shoved the river. Smith snap-called with {a-}{a-} and Bazeley mucked what the dealer revealed to be {q-}{j-}.

Alcorn Coolered, Busted

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Heather Alcorn
Heather Alcorn

With about 20,000 in the middle, a player in early position had 6,000 in front of him and had been called by Heather Alcorn in the cutoff. The board read {5-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{6-Hearts} and Austin McCormick was all in from under the gun for about 50,000. What looked to have been the original bettor folded, and Alcorn went into the tank.

"I feel like you have the ace of hearts but not the other heart," she mused.

After about a minute she slapped in some chips. McCormick showed {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts} and Alcorn tossed in her {j-Hearts}{9-Hearts} with a "nice hand," pushing her slightly covered stack into the middle and heading for the rail.

Shin Busted

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Mike Shin got his last 5,800 in with {7-Spades}{6-Spades} and was up against an opponent with {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}. The {9-}{8-}{4-} flop helped Shin as he picked up a draw, but the turn and river bricked out for him.

Apter Sliding

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

After dropping a pot in which he check-raised a flop from the big blind only to fold to a three-bet blast, Brett Apter played another from the small blind. He check-called 5,000 on a board of {6-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{4-Spades}{k-Clubs} against Dan Kloepper on the button then checked the {8-Clubs} river. Kloepper shoved for about 6,000 and Apter quickly gave it up.
