A Five-Bet Jammed Pot Gives Turner a Double

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

We happened upon the table with the cards already turned up in an all-in preflop situation. All we could piece together was that it was a five-bet jam and Jon Turner, who held the {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}, was all in for 53,700 and well out in front of Niall Farrell's {A-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}.

The {4-Spades}{q-Clubs}{9-Hearts} flop paired Turner and left Farrell in dire straits. The {5-Spades} turn paired Farrell, but he'd need another five on the river to win the pot. The dealer burned and put out the {2-Diamonds}. Turner doubled on the hand while Farrell, who was left with just 200 in chips, was eliminated in 79th place for $3,117 on the very next hand.

"I'll Show You So You Can Report It"

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Action folded to Adolfo Masliah in the small blind and he opened to 2,600, which Wisconsin's Larry Ormson called from the big blind. Masliah checked the {6-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} flop, and Ormson took the opportunity to fire out 7,000. Masliah called and then checked for a second time when the {3-Spades} turned. Ormson kept the pressure on with a bet of 13,000, and it was enough to do the trick as Masliah sent his cards to the muck.

"Here, I'll show you so you can report it," Ormson said to us before tabling the {6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} for all to see.

Brutal River Eliminates Ho

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Ting Ho opened the action with a 3,000-chip raise. It folded around to Tayfun Akbasli on the button who made it 7,500 to go. Action came back around to Ho and she cut out a four-bet to 14,000. Akbasli wasted little time announcing a five-bet all in and Ho heaved a deep breath and announced a call.

Ho: {A-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}
Akbasli: {A-Spades}{6-Clubs}

Ho was out in the lead and stayed that way when the {7-Hearts}{8-Spades}{2-Spades} flop hit the felt. She retained her lead on the {8-Clubs} turn but when the {6-Hearts} drilled the river, all of the chips suddenly became Akbasli's.

"Thought you were trying to make a move," said Akbasli to Ho as she gathered her belongings and left the tournament area. Ho had roughly 39,000 more behind, all of which now belong to Akbasli. He's now sitting on about 160,000.

Sevens Aplenty for Alibay

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Ami Alibay opened for 2,700 from the hijack and then called when Evan McNiff three-bet to 6,000 from the button, bringing about a flop of {10-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{4-Spades}. Both players checked, the {8-Hearts} turned and Alibay check-called a bet of 9,000 from McNiff.

Both players returned to checking on the {7-Diamonds} turn and Alibay shook his head that his opponent didn't bet before tabling the {9-Spades}{7-Spades} for trips. It was good as McNiff simply sent his hand to the muck.

Czarnecki Three Outed; Mustafa All Smiles

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Hank Czarnecki almost had a double when he was all in against Mike Mustafa with his {k-}{j-} well ahead of Mustafa's {k-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}. The board came {5-Spades}{7-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{10-Spades}. The board almost ran clean for Czarnecki until the river. Czarnecki put his head down in sadness. Mustafa was all smiles as he said, "That was one of the toughest calls I have made all day." Mustafa is up to 100,000.

Malone Sends Cole to the Rail

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

We didn't catch the preflop betting, but we do know Jonathan Cole ended up all in for roughly 15,000 holding the {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs} and was way out in front of Martin Malone's {K-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}. With that said, getting it in good isn't always enough and that was the case here as the {q-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} flop paired Malone's queen and made him the favorite. The {2-Clubs} turn was of no help to Cole, and neither was the {4-Diamonds} river.

Wheeler Rolls Over Belk

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Action folded to Stephanie Belk in the cutoff and she raised. When it folded to Brent Wheeler in the big blind, he opted to move all in for 14,700 more, and after some deliberation, Belk made the call.

Belk: {A-Spades}{10-Diamonds}
Wheeler: {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}

"Shit. Good hand," Belk said upon discovering she was dominated. "I thought you had a small pocket pair."

Belk was wrong and she paid the price as the board ran out an uneventful {j-Clubs}{8-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{9-Spades}.
