Level 20
Mark Klecan dragged a huge pot.
Mark Klecan dragged a huge pot.

Stud Eight or Better

Eddie Blumenthal completed with {a-Spades}, and three players came along. Blumenthal bet fourth street, and everyone called once again. He then bet fifth street with the following boards out:

Blumenthal: {a-Spades}{6-Clubs}{8-Clubs}
Mark Klecan: {2-Spades}{7-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Jeff Tims: {4-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Darin Thomas: {5-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{3-Spades}
George Rechnitzer: {10-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{2-Hearts}

Klecan and Tims called, then Thomas raised. Rechnizter cold-called. Blumenthal folded, Klecan called and Tims called. The dealer sent out sixth street.

Klecan: {10-Spades}
Tims: {9-Spades}
Thomas: {q-Hearts}
Rechnitzer: {j-Clubs}

Thomas once again took the betting lead, and everyone else called him. On seventh, everyone checked to Klecan, who bet. Tims and Thomas called, and Rechnizter folded.

"Trips," Klecan announced, revealing {6-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{6-Spades} as his down cards. Tims and Thomas slowly slid their cards to the dealer, and Klecan scooped the biggest pot of the tournament by far.

Bohlman Takes One From Heimiller

Level 20

Stud Eight or Better

On the river of the last hand of the night at this table, Dan Heimiller checked his board of {10-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}, and Scott Bohlman bet showing {5-Spades}{q-Spades}{8-Spades}{9-Hearts}. Heimiller called, and Bohlman turned over {q-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{6-Spades} for queens up. Heimiller folded, and Bohlman got a small boost to his stack as play for the night comes to a close.

Schneider Cripples Mackey

Level 20

Stud

James Mackey is down to just a 3.5 big bets after a recent stud hand against Tom Schneider. After fifth street here's how their boards looked:

Mackey: {8-Hearts}{a-Spades}{q-Clubs}
Schneider: {a-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{8-Spades}

They put in two bets on fifth, though we didn't catch who did the raising. Schneider checked sixth despite catching the {8-Diamonds} to pair his board. Mackey checked behind with {j-Spades}. Schneider then bet seventh and Mackey, looking reluctant, called.

Schneider showed {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{j-Hearts} in the hole for aces up, and Mackey mucked his hand.

Mackey: {2-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}
Kelly: {a-Spades}{6-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{k-Spades}

Fast Doubles, Still Short

Level 20

Razz

Ron Fast was all in on third street showing the {8-Spades}. Scott Bohlman and Owais Ahmed also stuck around to see fourth street, though Bohlman folded to Ahmed's fourth-street bet.

When all the cards were out, Ahmed held a ten-high, and Fast showed an 8-7. And Fast more than doubled up.
