Buddiga Gets Some off Trickett

Level 17 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Sam Trickett opened to 8,000 from under the gun, and was called by Pratyush Buddiga on the big blind, after the rest of the table had folded. The flop came down {j-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}, as Buddiga checked his option, before Trickett threw out a continuation bet of 9,000. Buddiga called, and check called another bet of 23,000, when the {j-Clubs} fell on the turn. With the {4-Spades} completing the board, both players opted to check, before Buddiga rolled over his {j-Diamonds}{k-Hearts} for a full house, which was enough to take down the pot.

Lyndaker Eliminated

Level 17 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Richard Lyndaker moved all in for his last 13,000 in chips, and after a slight pause, was called by Daniel Buzgon to his left. The rest of the table folded, as both players tabled their cards.

Lyndaker: {a-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}
Buzgon: {4-Clubs}{4-Spades}

The window card brought the {4-Diamonds} as Lyndaker quickly asked for a deuce, before the dealer spread out the rest of the {2-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} flop. But he was unable to improve, as the {8-Hearts} and {a-Diamonds} completed the board, sending him to the rail.

Radoja: {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}

Both players had big hands, but Rudolph would hold on to his lead, as the board ran out {8-Clubs}{6-Spades}{q-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{3-Spades} to see him double considerably, leaving Radoja with a few chips behind.

Morgenstern Moving Up

Level 18 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Chris Hunichen opened to 11,000 from the button, before he was met with a raise to 26,000 from Anton Morgenstern on the small blind. The big blind folded, and Hunichen called, as both players saw the flop come down {q-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{a-Hearts}. Morgenstern reached for his chips, and threw out a continuation bet of 30,000 which was called, as the {3-Clubs} fell on the turn. Morgenstern didn’t slow down, betting out another 60,000 in chips, before being met with an all in announcement, which he snap called.

Morgenstern: {q-Hearts}{q-Spades}
Hunichen: {3-Hearts}{5-Hearts}

Hunichen had run into the set of queens of Morgenstern, but had out to a straight and flush on the river. It wouldn’t come though, as the {10-Clubs} completed the board, sending him to the rail, and shooting Morgenstern towards the chip lead.
