Eames Moves In

Level 3 : 75/150, 0 ante

After a raise and two calls preflop, John Eames was in a pot going to the flop. The dealer put out the {A-Spades}{7-Spades}{8-Spades} board and action checked to Eames who bet 725. He got one call from the player in the small blind.

The turn was the {8-Diamonds} and the player checked to Eames who continued with a bet of 1,425. The player called.

The river was the {5-Diamonds} and the player checked a third time to Eames who moved all in for 5,000. The player in the small blind threw his hands up in a frustrated manner and went into the tank before eventually folding.

Eames is back over starting stack after collecting that pot.

Bonomo Sets Up Massey

Level 3 : 75/150, 0 ante

Aaron Massey checked to Justin Bonomo on a board of {2-Spades}{10-Hearts}{a-Spades}{8-Clubs}. Bonomo tossed out 1,100, and Massey tank-called.

The river brought the {k-Diamonds}, Massey checked again, and Bonomo flipped 3,200 forward. Massey tanked for an extended period of time on this street, then eventually pushed forward enough chips to make the call. Bonomo ripped over {2-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} for a flopped set of deuces, and Massey mucked his hand.

King Beheaded

Level 3 : 75/150, 0 ante

When we reached the table, "King" Dan Smith was all in and at risk with {k-Clubs}{9-Clubs} on a flop of {2-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{j-Clubs}. Kevin Saul had him at risk with {k-Diamonds}{j-Spades}, and need to dodge a club or running straight outs. The {6-Hearts} on the turn and the {a-Hearts} on the river were both big red bricks, and Smith was eliminated.

Saul now sits with 37,000 chips.

Gavin Griffin Sent To The Rail

Level 3 : 75/150, 0 ante

Gavin Griffin was all in preflop for about 1,500 and another player moved all in over the top of him. Another player called the two all ins with a covering stack and they were off to a show down.

Griffin: {J-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}
Player 1: {A-Hearts}{K-Spades}
Player 2: {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts}

On the {7-Spades}{7-Clubs}{6-Spades} flop Griffin was already collecting his things making his way to the rail. The turn was the {9-Clubs} giving Griffin some extra outs, but the {3-Diamonds} on the river was not one of those outs. Before the river was even halfway on the table, Griffin was up from the table heading for the door. After counting out his chips the other player who was all in also stood up and headed in that direction.

Jewell Drops One

Level 3 : 75/150, 0 ante

After eliminating a player with {2-}{2-} against {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts} on a {q-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} board (the turn was the case deuce and the river wasn't the {j-Hearts}, Kurt Jewell had another opponent all in. After a series of preflop bets and raises, Jewell put out enough chips to put the player all in. The player sighed, then called with {a-Hearts}{9-Hearts}, which was ahead of Jewell's {k-Spades}{10-Spades}.

Jewell took the lead when the dealer fanned {5-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}, and remained ahead when the {q-Spades} turned, but the {a-Diamonds} spiked on the river to give the player a pair of aces.

He doubled, while Jewell dropped to 28,000 chips.
