Schaaf Just Can't Do It

James Schaaf made it 35,000 from early position, only to see Michael Vaccarello move all in from the small blind for 42,000. Schaaf made the call and turned over {a-Spades}{8-Clubs}. Vaccarello showed {k-Spades}{j-Hearts}.

The flop came down {10-Spades}{q-Hearts}{k-Hearts}, giving Vaccarello just what he needed. Schaaf bricked the turn, {7-Hearts}, and river, {5-Spades}, so Vaccarello doubled to 90,000.

Schaaf is sitting on 400,000.

Alain Medesan can now go hide on the rail
Alain Medesan can now go hide on the rail

From the hijack, Jose Obadia made it 35,000. Alain Medesan moved all in for 250,000 from the cutoff and Andrew Rosskamm made the call from the big blind. Obadia tanked before folding.

Rosskamm: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}
Medesen: {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts}

The board came down {2-Spades}{7-Hearts}{4-Spades}{9-Spades}{7-Diamonds} and Medesan could find no help to stay alive. He was sent to the payout desk while Rosskamm increased his stack to 900,000.

The River Crushes Dreams

Peter Granlund and Brian Razo got it all in preflop with Razo at risk, holding {10-Spades}{k-Spades} against Granlund's {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}.

The flop came down {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{q-Clubs} giving Razo some hope, and the {k-Diamonds} turn was just what he needed, that is, if the {j-Spades} didn't hit the river, which it did, giving Granlund a boat.

Granlund has a 180,000 chip stack now.

Hamrick's Double Whammy

Scott Horowitz moved all in from middle position for about 90,000. Dean Hamrick then moved all in from the small blind for around 300,000. The big blind tank-called all in for his remaining 200,000.

Horowitz: {j-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Hamrick: {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}
Big blind: {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}

Hamrick flopped a set when it came down {10-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}. The turn {3-Diamonds} and the river {j-Spades} did nothing to help his opponents, and they were both sent to the rail.

Michael Doubles With Kings

Luigi Caramatti opened to 22,000 from middle position and Brett Michael moved all in for 91,000.

After minutes of deliberation Caramatti made the call to put Michael at risk.

Caramatti: {10-Diamonds}{8-Spades}
Michael: {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}

The flop of {J-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} gave Caramatti some hope, but after the {Q-Clubs} landed on the turn and then the {9-Diamonds} on the river, Michael doubled through to 205,000 with a bigger straight as Caramatti slipped to 580,000 in chips.
