Double Double

Andy Black was all in preflop with {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}{k-Clubs}{q-Hearts} against Dmitry Nemirovsky's {q-Clubs}{9-Spades}{8-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}.

The board fell {a-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}, and Black won with a pair of aces. He doubled to 165,000, leaving Nemirovsky with 145,000.

On another table, Eric "p3achy_keen" Liu was all in with {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}. Ran Azor called him with {k-Clubs}{q-Spades}{j-Spades}{3-Hearts}. The {a-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{k-Spades} board brought Liu top two pair on the river to best Azor's two pair on the turn. Liu doubled to 125,000, leaving Azor with 405,000.

Smith Stack Boosted

Justin "Boosted J" Smith has won an enormous pot without any of the hassle of a showdown.

We found him betting pot on the river of a {3-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{a-Spades}{3-Spades}{10-Diamonds} board. His opponent Mark Eddleman, most of whose chips were already in the middle of the table, tanked up for an awfully long time before sighing and folding, leaving himself on just 45,000. Smith moved up to 185,000.

Glantz & You'll Miss Him

At a Glantz
At a Glantz

Matt Glantz raised pot with 14,000 behind. Over to Christian Harder on the button - who announced, "All right. All in."

Benny Spindler in the big blind briefly thought about it before folding {a-}{7-}{3-}{6-} face up.

The other two went to showdown.

Glantz: {8-Spades}{q-Spades}{7-Clubs}{4-Clubs}
Harder: {8-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{4-Clubs}

"Maybe I shouldn't call," quipped Glantz.

Board: {2-Hearts}{5-Spades}{4-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}

And then he was gone.

Turbo Boosted

Anton Blagov had already been crippled to just 13,000 when he moved in to a limp from Justin "Boosted J" Smith. In the cutoff, Jason Lavallee re-shoved for 45,000, and Smith called them both.

Blagov: {k-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{j-Spades}
Lavallee: {q-Clubs}{k-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}
Smith: {9-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}

Board: {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}

Smith got the lot and bumped his already hefty stack up to 330,000. The other two hit the rail.

All Ins All Over the Place

Three players had their hands face up before the flop. Ali al Jenabi was all in for not very much, Niall Charlton was at risk as well, and Mark Eddleman had them both covered.

Al Jenabi: {a-Clubs}{9-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}
Charlton: {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{3-Clubs}{2-Spades}
Eddleman: {q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}

The board ran out {7-Spades}{4-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{q-Spades}. Al Jenabi flopped a set and turned a boat to triple up to 70,000. Charlton's trip deuces won him the larger side pot, and he mostly doubled through Eddleman to move up to 210,000. And after Eddleman paid off everyone, he was left with 180,000.

Black Catapults Mizrachi into Chip Stratosphere

Black day for Andy
Black day for Andy

The flop read {7-Spades}{9-Clubs}{4-Spades} when Andy Black's pretty chunky stack went in. Robert Mizrachi was his opponent.

Black: {7-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{9-Spades}{8-Diamonds} for two pair
Mizrachi: {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{a-Spades}{k-Spades} for a set of sevens and a flush draw

Turn: {8-Clubs}

River: {10-Clubs}

"Wow," said Black. "Nice hand." He sounded like he meant it.

With that, Black hit the rail. Ladies and gentlemen, please meet our new chip leader by a mile - Robert Mizrachi, on a shade below 800,000. That is what we call a big ol' stack.

Boudreau Robousto

The flop came {9-Clubs}{5-Spades}{4-Clubs}, and after some potting and repotting, Kevin Boudreau was all in. Alan Reyf had him slightly covered.

Boudreau: {a-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{q-Spades} for the overpair and nut flush draw
Reyf: {k-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{5-Diamonds} for top two pair

The {7-Spades} on the turn paired Boudreau and gave Reyf a flush draw. But it was Kevin's flush that hit with the {q-Clubs} on the turn. Boudreau jumped to second in the chip counts with 490,000. Reyf was left with 44,000.
