Massey Shoves

Level 1 : 25/50, 0 ante

We arrived at the table to find Aaron Massey heads up in a hand against an unknown opponent. The finished board read {8-Spades}{4-Spades}{3-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{10-Spades} and there was already 3,150 in the middle. Massey's opponent checked the river and Massey moved all in from the button for his last 3,125.

Massey's opponent was deep in the tank for a moment before finally flicking his cards away, allowing Massey to drag in the pot.

O'Brien Bests Lichtenberger

Level 1 : 25/50, 0 ante

We arrived at the table to see Dan O'Brien fire out a bet of 225 with the flop reading {2-Spades}{10-Spades}{k-Diamonds}. One player folded while Andrew Litchtenberger, who had previously checked, called the bet.

Fourth street was the {5-Spades} and Lichtenberger checked once more. O'Brien checked it back and the {4-Hearts} finished off the board. Lichtenberger led for 525 and O'Brien decided to call. Lichtenberger showed {Q-Diamonds}{J-Hearts} for a busted straight draw and O'Brien took it down with his {10-Hearts}{8-Clubs} for a pair of tens.

Cada Out

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

We caught up with the action to find 1,225 already in the middle with the board showing {4-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{J-Spades}. The small blind led out for 625 and Joe Cada made it 1,750 to go from the button. The small blind tanked for about a minute before finally announcing that he was all in. Cada quickly called

Cada: {Q-Spades}{J-Clubs}
Opponent: {J-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}

Cada was ahead with his two pair, but the {K-Clubs} on the river made a straight to eliminate the 2009 WSOP Main Event champion from play.

Cajelais Thriving

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

Erik Cajelais opened for 300 before the flop and an opponent raised all in for 1,800 total. Cajelais called and showed {9-Spades}{9-Clubs} which was crushing his opponent's {5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}.

The board fell down {Q-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} and Cajelais was able to send his opponent to the rail. Cajelais now has about 18,400 in chips.
