Robinson Sent to the Rail

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 0 ante

Benjamin Robinson raised to 6,500 pre flop from middle position and was re raised by Christian Harder to 18,500 from the small blind. Robinson called and the flop ran out {q-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}.

Harder led out for 20,000 and Robinson called. The {4-Spades} fell on the turn. Harder bet the pot and Robinson called for his remaining 38,500 chips.

Harder flipped up {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds} and Robinson flipped up {k-Spades}{q-Spades}. The river brought the {6-Hearts} and Harder increased his chip stack to 250,000.

Ted Lawson raised from under the gun to 6,500. Ariel Celestino called from late postion and Derek Palmer moved all in for his last 27,000. Lawson folded and said he "had two nines" and Celestino called.

Celestino is now up to 175,000.

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 0 ante

The flop came up {j-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}. Lakhitov bet 7,500 and Passonene called. The turn brought the {6-Spades}.

Lakhitov bet 17,500 and Passonene raised to 31,500. Lakhitov folded and Passonene took down the pot.

Racener Races to the Rail

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 0 ante

John Racener opened to 8,000 from the hi-jack and Charles Ritchie bet the pot, which was enough to put Racener all-in. Racener called.

Ritchie: {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}
Racener: {A-Spades}{J-Hearts}

The {4-Hearts}{6-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{8-Hearts} board was no help to Racener, who immediately got up from his seat to go play in the $1,500 H.O.R.S.E. event.

Ritchie's stack has grown to 130,000.

Nolan Nicked by Marsh

Sean Nolan opened under the gun with a raise to 10,500 only to have Luke Marsh announce a pot bet from late position as the blinds quickly folded. Nolan committed his final 19,500 and the cards were placed on their backs.

Nolan: {4-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}
Marsh: {K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}

The {K-Spades}{10-Clubs}{9-Spades} flop gave Marsh the lead, and when the {Q-Hearts} fell on the turn, Nolan would need to spike his two-outer to stay alive.

Unfortunately for him the river was the {3-Clubs} to send Nolan to the rail as Marsh climbs to 240,000 in chips.
