Sands Wins!

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 0 ante

We arrived at the table, just as David Sands and his opponent finished off their pre-flop betting exchange. Sands’ opponent was all in for his last 20,000 and showed {A-Spades}{7-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}, which was up against {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{3-Spades}{9-Clubs}. The board ran out {K-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{9-Spades}{J-Spades}{K-Hearts}, to see Sands awarded with the pot.

“I won an all in,” rejoiced Sands, as the pot was pushed his way.

Mercier Hits the Showers

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 0 ante
Jason Mercier
Jason Mercier

Jason Mercier raised it up to 7,000 from under the gun, leaving himself with 11,500 behind. It folded around to the big blind, Tobias Hausen, and he made the call. The flop came down {j-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}, and Hausen checked to Mercier, who quickly moved all in. Hausen called, and the cards were tabled.

Mercier: {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{3-Clubs}
Hausen: {a-Spades}{4-Spades}{2-Hearts}{8-Hearts}

Mercier was in trouble, as he would need to pair his ace or queen to take the high, and the only low card he could catch was a deuce. None of those came though, as the turn was the {j-Clubs}, and the river the {k-Clubs}.

It isn't all bad news for Mercier though, as late registration is still open in the $5,000 No-Limit Hold'em Six Handed. We expect him to quickly register for that while the window is still open.

Sands Storming up the Leader Board

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 0 ante

We missed how all the money was committed into the pot, but found David Sands up against two opponents, and having them both covered.

Sands: {A-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{K-Spades}
Opponent #1: {2-Spades}{a-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}
Opponent #2: {K-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{Q-Spades}

The board ran out {6-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{A-Spades}{9-Spades}{A-Clubs}, to see Sands scoop the pot, sending two players to the rail, as he moves above 100,000 in chips.

Graham's River

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 0 ante

The player under the gun opened to 4,500, and was called by Jarred Graham in the blinds, as everyone else folded in between. The flop came down {Q-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}, as Graham check-called a continuation bet of 5,800, before both players checked the {5-Diamonds} on the turn. With the {9-Hearts} completing the board, Graham thought for a moment, before sliding out a bet of 15,000. His opponent asked how much it was, but decided to fold instead.
