Shak Has Some Time For Shopping

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

We came to the action with a raise in front of Beth Shak and she faced a reraise all in from her opponent. Shak called the all in for less with {a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} and her opponent held {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}. The board ran out {8-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{9-Hearts} giving Shak a better flush draw but she found no help in the {q-Clubs} turn or {k-Clubs} river. Her opponent made a set and eliminated Shak with a little more pocket change than she had when she started the day.

Duval Busts Two

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

An early position player raised to 2,700 and Jason Duval reraised to 8,800 from middle position. The player on the button 3-bet allin for 15,300 and the big blind also moved all in for 17,300. The early position player folded and Duval made the call.

Duval: {a-Clubs}{5-Hearts}
Button: {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}
Big Blind: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}

The flop came {5-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{q-Clubs} giving Duval a pair but he still needed some more help. The {9-Hearts} turn came and went without changing much but Duval struck gold with the {5-Diamonds} river to make trips and eliminate two players at once.

Frustration Sets In

Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

A player under the gun limped and faced a 5,000 raise from Marc-Andre Ladouceur, in middle position. When action folded back to the player, he made the call.

Both players checked every street of the {4-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{7-Spades}{4-Spades}{5-Diamonds} board. The player under the gun turned over {2-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} and you could see the frustration on Ladouceur's face.

Weisner Takes A Hit

Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Melanie Weisner
Melanie Weisner

Melanie Weisner raised to 3,500 in late position. The player on the button reraised all in for 25,800 and Weisner called.

Weisner: {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}
Button: {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}

Weisner was ahead but that didn't last long as her opponent found a queen on the {q-Spades}{10-Spades}{8-Spades} flop. There was no relief on the {7-Spades} turn or {6-Diamonds} river and Weisner lost a good portion of her stack. Weisner would end up busting a few hand later.
