Flawless Victory for Roberts

Level 8 : 300/600, 0 ante

Catching the action on the turn with the board reading {9-Spades}{3-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} and 6,700 in the pot, Brian "flawless_victory" Roberts checked over to Tom Hall.

Hall bet out 4,000 only to have Roberts raise the pot and make it 18,700. Hall made the call - leaving himself just 6,900 behind - as the dealer completed the board with the {A-Spades} on the river.

Roberts announced all in, and after nearly two minutes in the tank, Hall kicked his cards to the muck. Roberts dragged the pot and moved to roughly 120,000 in chips.

A Set of Sets

With nearly 5,000 already in the pot and the board reading {q-Spades}{10-Spades}{2-Clubs}, betting action on the flop culminated with Eli Elezra betting 4,000, Andrew Watson raising to 12,000, and the player in the big blind going all in. Elezra and Watson both followed suit going all in as well and it was fairly clear to see why after the hands were tabled.

Watson: {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}
Elezra: {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{2-Hearts}
Big Blind: {5-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{2-Diamonds}

Each player had flopped a set with Watson's hand dominating the other two. Because Elezra held a deuce in his hand the big blind was drawing dead and Elezra would need the case ten in the deck to win the entire pot.

The turn and river brought the {3-Spades} and {7-Diamonds} and Watson's hand held. Because Watson was the short stack of the three players, he won the main pot tripling his stack to around 60,000 and Elezra won the side pot putting his stack at 19,000.

Arieh Exits

On a flop of {K-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}, Josh Arieh saw his last 8,525 enter the pot against Ben Lamb.

Arieh: {9-Clubs}{9-Spades}{8-Hearts}{2-Clubs}
Lamb: {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{5-Hearts}

With Arieh in terrible shape, the {Q-Spades} on the turn changed little, and when the {8-Spades} landed on the river, Arieh was sent to the rail.

Queens-Up for Lisandro

Level 7 : 250/500, 0 ante

In a multi-way pot, four players saw a {Q-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} flop with Jeffrey Lisandro pushing out a 2,250-chip bet from the cutoff.

Finding a caller on the button and two folds, the {3-Spades} on the turn saw Lisandro check before facing a 5,700-chip bet. Lisandro made the call before the {K-Spades} landed on the river and both players checked.

Lisandro tabled his {7-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} and collected the pot with his two-pair to move to 39,000 in chips.
