Katz Busts Jones
Level 13
: 800/1,600, 200 ante
Brian Rast opened up the action on table 403 to 3,200 from the under-the-gun plus one position. Cary Katz put in the 3-bet from the small blind, making it a cool 10,000. In the big blind Aaron Jones had a decision and eventually he decided to put all of his chips in the middle. For how much that was exactly we're not sure, as Rast folded instantly and Katz called just as quick.
Katz showed his and had about seventy percent equity against Jones' 
. This was not going to be one of those 3 in 10 times that the ace-king would win as all the aces and other helpful cards stayed in the deck:

"I Got It In Good"
Level 13
: 800/1,600, 200 ante
Justin Schwartz was allin preflop with against Darryll Fish his 
. The pot wasn't all to big with just about 10,000 in the middle but it was Schwartz life on the line. Schwartz had lost the rest of his stack before this hand it appeared, and was making jokes during this allin. "I got it in good" he laughed, making sure we would write that down. Never before had we seen such a jinx as the words hadn't even left his mouth before the river destroyed his hopes for a clean double-up: 
| 
| . Although he just busted, Justin was very amicable about it and with still a big smile on his face he left the table.
"I feel a little bit bad about it" Fish told Kyle Julius, before downgrading that nice comment with a big laugh "Just a little bit!" Someone else at the table told Fish that he had just hit a one outer since he folded an eight and that was that, on to the next hand.

. Kristijonas Andrulis raised to what looked like 20,000 or so, Baumstein announced all in, doubling-fisting two stacks forward, and Andrulis snap-called the 85,900-chip bet.
"Wow," someone said at the table. "This is a big one."
Baumstein quickly turned over for a turned straight, and half a heartbeat lader Andrulis showed 
for the stone-cold nuts.
The bricked off on the river, and Andrulis was shipped the massive pot. Baumstein needed a second to collect his thoughts, and promptly stepped away from the table.
