Jason Somerville was just involved in two hands that helped boost him back towards the front of the pack.
We were a little late getting to the first hand and caught a board reading . Somerville check-called a bet of 12,500 from his opponent and showed , which was enough to beat his opponent's .
On the very next hand, against the very same opponent, Sommerville called a preflop bet of 1,700. The flop came down .
After seeing the flop, Somerville check-called a bet of 2,800 from his opponent. Both players checked the on the turn. When the came on the river, Somerville led out with a bet of 4,800 and was called by his opponent.
Somerville showed and his opponent mucked. After this hand, Somerville is up to 99,500;
When we arrived on the scene, action was going down on the turn. With a board reading , Moorman got it all in and had a caller who had him covered by 30,000.

Opponent:
The river was the and was enough to keep Moorman ahead in the hand, and at the top of the leader board.
Perry Friedman is down to 4,000 after making a self-acknowledged reckless move. He had raised preflop only to be rer-aised by a woman at his table for her remaining 7,600 chips. Freidman thought for a moment before saying, "I don't care, I'll make the call."
Friedman:
Opponent:
Friedman's opponent spiked a set on the flop when it came and filled up on the turn . The river brought the , not changing a thing, and leaving Friedman with 4,000 in chips.
Jason Somerville had raised to 2,000 in late position and was met with an all in from another player. It was about 9,000 more for Somerville to call. Somerville would indeed eventually make the call, but not without warning, "Just so you know, if I call and I beat you, it's going to be a bad beat."

Opponent:
Unfortunately for Somerville's opponent, Somerville was right on all counts. He spiked a pair of deuces when the flop came and stayed ahead through the on the turn and the on the river.
