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.

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.

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.

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.

Azor Does Double Duty

The flop fell {q-Spades}{7-Hearts}{4-Spades}, and Alexander Kostritsyn moved all in. Another player shoved on top for slightly more, and Ran Azor called them both.

Short-stack Kostritsyn: {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{j-Clubs}
Middle stack: {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{10-Spades}{9-Spades}
Big-stack Azor: {j-Clubs}{8-Spades}{5-Spades}{6-Clubs}

The {5-Diamonds} turn and {6-Diamonds} river were made to order for Azor, giving him a straight and missing his opponents. He notched a double knockout and moved up to 450,000.
