Level 8 : 400/800, 0 ante
James Calderaro just busted out.
James Calderaro just busted out.

Joe Cada opened to 1,800 under the gun and got called by the button before James Calderaro three-bet to 8,000 out of the blinds. Cada made the call, and Calderaro potted all in for his last 6,100 on the {8-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{3-Clubs} flop. Cada snap-called, turning over {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts} for a set, while Calderaro needed runner-runner with {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts}. He was drawing dead after the {j-Clubs} turn.

Chino's Jacks

Level 8 : 400/800, 0 ante

On a {q-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{2-Clubs} flop Chino Rheem came out firing, making it 2,000. Heads-up opponent Kevin Stammen responded by making it 4,800 and Rheem made the call.

The {j-Diamonds} turn went check-check, but when the {5-Hearts} river came down, Rheem bet out 12,200. Stammen made the call and Rheem showed {j-Clubs}{j-Spades} for a turned set to take it down.

Esfandiari Gets a Heap from Hutter

Antonio Esfandiari got value with top two.
Antonio Esfandiari got value with top two.

Barry Hutter, in the cutoff, check-called 11,400 from Antonio Esfandiari on a board of {q-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{6-Spades}{k-Diamonds}. The river brought a four-straight with the {j-Hearts}, but Esfandiari still was undeterred, as he fired 18,000 after Hutter checked. Hutter though for a bit before sliding forward a call, and Esfandiari tabled {a-Spades}{k-Spades} for top two. Hutter mucked.

Adams Closes In

Level 8 : 400/800, 0 ante

A battle of the blinds turned almost deadly between Faraz Jaka and Timothy Adams moments ago.

We caught the hand on the river with the board reading {3-Clubs}{j-Spades}{a-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{5-Spades} and close to 60,000 in the pot. Adams pushed all in for 35,000 and Jaka sat mulling it over for a good two and a half minutes with about 45,000 behind.

Eventually he folded his hand and as Adams closes in on the 100,000-chip mark, Jaka has less than half that.

E-Fro Doubles

Level 8 : 400/800, 0 ante

Kyle Julius made it 1,700 and Phil Galfond called on the button before Eric Froehlich made it 5,200 from the small blind.

Julius then potted it, Galfond begged out and Froehlich re-potted, moving all in. Julius called with {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} but was well behind Froehlich's {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}. Aces held on the {6-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{7-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} run out.

Bilokur Gets a Nice River

Level 8 : 400/800, 0 ante
Kathy Liebert is well under the starting stack.
Kathy Liebert is well under the starting stack.

In a battle of the blinds, Kathy Liebert and Alex Bilokur each put 3,700 in the pot on fourth street, and fifth street made the board {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}. Liebert checked and called 5,200 and was shown {k-Hearts}{8-Hearts} for kings up on the river. She couldn't beat it, and Bilokur is among the leaders.

Seidel Gets Value

Level 8 : 400/800, 0 ante

Erik Seidel was heads-up with 2013 WSOP $5,000 Pot-Limit Hold'em bracelet winner Davidi Kitai when he check-called a bet on the turn with the board reading {q-Clubs}{2-Spades}{2-Hearts}{7-Hearts}.

Kitai checked the {q-Spades} river, but called relatively quickly when Seidel made it 5,000 chips to see his hand. Seidel turned over {q-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} and raked in the pot after Kitai mucked.

Shak Cleaning House

Level 7 : 300/600, 0 ante
Dan Shak
Dan Shak

Dan Shak is running like a god and Jason Somerville just found out the hard way.

Somerville defended his big blind against a 1,500-chip open from Shak on the button, then check-raised for the rest of his chips when Shak fired 2,500 at the {j-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{7-Clubs} flop. Shak made the call with {q-Clubs}{q-Spades} and Somerville's {j-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} needed help.

"Do you ever not have a hand?" joked John Juanda, as the {7-Spades} turn and {a-Diamonds} river sent Somerville home.
