The Gates Are Closed

Action folded to Scotty Nguyen who raised enough to put the short-stacked Garry Gates all in for around 6,000 in the big blind. Gates committed to a call with {K-}{9-} and found himself racing against Nguyen's pocket fours, however the board bricked out and Gates was sent to the rail.

Salles Triples

Facing a raise to 2,000, both the button and Gualter Salles called from the big blind.

Salles moved all in for his last 6,000 when the {J-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{2-Clubs} flop fell, and he was called in two spots before the {4-Clubs} and {5-Diamonds} was checked down.

Salles tabled his {A-Clubs}{8-Clubs} to best one of his opponent's {K-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} to see the Brazilian triple through to 26,000 in chips.

Underwood Out

Sara Underwood feels like we do after her bust out.
Sara Underwood feels like we do after her bust out.

Sarah Underwood was all in preflop with {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades} against an opponent's {4-Spades}{4-Clubs}. The ESPN cameras were in position to build the tension but it didn't last long as the flop landed {4-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} to give her opponent a set and leave Underwood drawing to runners for a straight to chop.

It didn't happen on the {J-Diamonds} turn and {5-Clubs} river and Underwood was sent to the rail much to the disappointment of media row.

Gould's Value Dips

Peter Gould just found himself involved in a four-way pot in which he was taking the lead. The quartet had gotten to the turn with the board showing {7-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}. Two players checked to Gould who bet 2,000, one called, then another check-raised to 6,300 and all three called the raise.

The river was the {7-Hearts} and it checked to Gould again. He bet 9,000 this time, getting two opponents to fold. But when the third called his bet, he mucked without even waiting to see his opponents cards. The winner showed anyway -- {J-Hearts}{10-Spades} -- and scooped the sizable pot.

Gould slips to 39,000.

Prescott Prevails

After a raise and a call, Allie Prescott called from the small blind, and the big blind joined them. They were four-handed to the {q-Spades}{9-Spades}{2-Hearts} flop. Prescott checked, and the big blind followed suit. The pre-flop raiser bet 3,400, and the hijack flatted. Action back on him, Prescott check-raised to 19,400, about half of his stack. The big blind folded, as did the original bettor. Then the hijack, the same player who tried and failed to bluff Prescott in this hand, went into the tank. He decided to move all in, and Prescott insta-called all in for a total of 44,300.

Prescott: {q-Clubs}{9-Clubs} for top two
Hijack: {a-Spades}{7-Spades} for the nut flush draw

The {j-Diamonds} turn wasn't a spade, nor was the {7-Hearts}. That doubled Prescott to 98,000.

Phillips Wins One, Then Eliminates Mueller On the Next One

"I might get on ESPN now."
"I might get on ESPN now."

A player raised to 2,000 from the cutoff seat and Carter Phillips made the call from the big blind. The flop came down {J-Spades}{9-Spades}{7-Hearts} and both players checked to see the {J-Hearts} fall on the turn. Phillips led for 2,500 and won the pot.

On the next hand, the player under the gun limped and Greg Mueller raised to 3,200 from late position. Phillips flatted from the small blind and the limper called as well. The flop came down {J-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{4-Clubs} and Phillips checked. The under-the-gun player checked and then Mueller went all in for what Phillips said was much more than a pot-sized bet. Phillips reshoved and the third player in the hand folded.

Phillips flopped top set with {J-}{J-} and Mueller held {A-}{J-} with no club. The turn and river couldn't produce the miracle for Mueller and he was sent to the rail. Phillips improved to 186,500 in chips.

Baldwin Hits Into a Double Play

Eric "basebaldy" Baldwin
Eric "basebaldy" Baldwin

Eric Baldwin raised to 2,000 from late position, and the player in the cutoff seat called. The small blind wanted to play for more though, and he squeezed in a reraise to 8,000. Baldwin four-bet to 20,000, the monkey in the middle folded, and the small blind shoved his last 38,000 in there.

Showdown
Baldwin: {A-Clubs} {K-Hearts}
Big blind: {K-Diamonds} {K-Spades}

There would be no knockout ace for Baldwin. The board came {K-Clubs} {5-Clubs} {9-Spades} {9-Hearts} {8-Diamonds}, and he's going to have to ship some double-up chips. "Basebaldy" is down to 33,000 now after dropping more than half his stack to Big Slick.

Hougaard Climbing

Jesper Hougaard opened to 1,800 from the hi-jack only to be three-bet to 6,500 from the small blind.

Hougaard called to see a {A-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{10-Spades} flop fall and checks follow from both players.

The {2-Diamonds} landed on the turn, and after a check, Hougaard fired out 5,700 and was called as the dealer dropped the {3-Spades} on the river.

Check, bet of 10,400, and then an insta-call saw Hougaard's {A-Clubs}{5-Clubs} best his opponent's {K-Diamonds}{K-Spades} to see the Dane climb to 200,000 in chips.
