Marafioti's Aces are Good

When we walked up to the table the board read {3-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{8-Clubs} and Matt Marafioti checked, his opponent also checked, as did Team PokerStars Pro Alex Kravchenko.

The river brought the {5-Spades} and all three players checked. Marafioti turned over {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{6-Spades}{5-Diamonds} and after careful examination of their own cards, his opponents tossed them into the muck, and Marafioti dragged in the 6,400 pot.

Lelouche Booted by Boosted

Antony Lelouche got his last several thousand chips in the pot preflop. He raised, Michael Mizrachi flatted, and when it got to Justin Smith in the big blind, he repotted, Lelouche called all in for not much more, and Mizrachi got out of the way.

Lelouche: {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}
Smith: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}

Lelouche didn't have much to work with, and the {10-Clubs}{7-Spades}{2-Hearts}{q-Spades}{a-Hearts} board didn't help at all. His day is done while Boosted J is up to 32,000.

G0lfa Smells a Rat

On a {6-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{4-Spades} flop, one player bet 1,000. Ryan "G0lfa" D'Angelo called, and Tom Schneider folded. The {9-Diamonds} turn earned a check from both, but D'Angelo's opponent went back to betting after the {7-Hearts} river looked like it could have been useful. He bet 2,500, and after a moment, G0lfa made it 8,000. He snap-folded, giving D'Angelo an annoyed look. D'Angelo has 12,200 plus two more rebuys.

Gould Gets Mortensen's Chips

Richard Ashby raised to 300 under the gun, and Peter Gould called on the button. Carlos Mortensen joined them from the big blind. The flop fell {9-Spades}{7-Spades}{7-Hearts}, and action checked to Gould. He bet 600. Mortensen minraised him to 1,200, and after Ashby folded, Gould called. Mortensen checked the {a-Clubs} turn, and Gould bet 2,500. Mortensen called all in for less with {q-Clubs}{q-Spades}{5-Spades}{3-Diamonds}. He was in pretty terrible shape against Gould's {a-Spades}{6-Spades}{10-Clubs}{3-Clubs}. The river bricked, and Mortensen hit the rail just before dinner. Gould, on the other hand, is in great shape with 48,000.

Donkeybomber Doubles

David Chiu limped, Tom Schneider overlimped the button, and the big blind checked his option. The flop came {5-Spades}{3-Hearts}{2-Hearts}, and it checked around. After the {j-Spades} turn, the big blind bet 600, and Chiu folded. Donkeybomber potted. His opponent moved all in, and he called.

Schneider was ahead with {k-Clubs}{6-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{3-Spades} for the nut straight, and the {3-Clubs} on the river couldn't improve his opponent's wheel. Schneider doubled to 6,550 and still has one rebuy chip to use.

Benyamine All In; Wins

A player made it 350 to go and David Benyamine bumped it up to 1,400. His opponent them reraised and called Benyamine's all in.

Benyamine: {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
Opponent: {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}

The board rolled out {q-Clubs}{j-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{3-Spades} and Benyamine took the pot to move his stack up to 9,000.
