Cahlik Wins Another One

Level 15 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

Josh Cahlik opened from under the gun to 12,000. Action folded around to the big blind who went all in for about 40,000. Cahlik called and revealed {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs} which dominated his opponent's {A-Spades}{7-Clubs}.

The board fell {5-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} and Cahlik added to his stack eliminating his opponent in 22nd place.

Petrino Doubles in Blind Battle

Level 15 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

Everyone folded to Michael Trivett in the small blind, who raised to 15,500. Vincent Petrino shoved all in from the big blind for 72,500. After some thought, Trivett made the call.

Trivett: {a-Spades}{9-Hearts}
Petrino: {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}

The flop came {9-Spades}{5-Clubs}{3-Hearts}, and Petrino was on the brink of elimination. He let out a whoop after a {k-Hearts} hit the turn, and the {8-Clubs} river meant he had held on.

Ellery Eliminates Weathers

Level 15 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

Kevin Weathers raised to 15,000 from under the gun and Daniel Ellery reraised an additional 32,00 from the cutoff. Weathers called the reraise leaving 24,000 behind.

The flop came {7-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{10-Hearts} and Weathers immediately announced all in. Ellery called and showed {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs} which was ahead of the {k-Spades}{q-Diamonds} of Weathers. The {6-Clubs} turn and {j-Spades} river did not help Weathers and he was eliminated.

Small Scoops Three-Way Pot

Level 15 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

Chad Holloway, Sean Small and Wyatt Gibson saw a flop of {6-Clubs}{10-Spades}{4-Spades}. Holloway checked, Small fired 15,000, and Gibson slid a tower of yellow chips into the middle for a raise to 35,000. Holloway ducked out of the way, and Small called. Both players checked the {k-Spades} turn, and the {8-Hearts} came out on the river. Small bet 45,000. "Flush," Gibson muttered as he mucked his cards.
