Harnois Aces It

Level 14 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Thomas Harnois liked the first hand he got after the break, so he decided to put the rest of the chips in the middle and see what happened.

What happened was his {a-Clubs}{9-Hearts} was called by Jake Schwartz holding a pair with {8-Hearts}{8-Spades}.

The cards came out {5-Spades}{5-Hearts}{a-Spades}{q-Spades}{9-Clubs} with the ace in the window hitting Harnois's hand and giving him a double-up.

Brutal River for Lichtenberger

Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

On the last hand before break, Andrew Lichtenberger raised to 3,800 from middle position and Ken Weinstein three-bet right behind him to 9,500. It folded back around to Lichtenberger who calmly put in a four-bet of 22,400.

Weinstein quickly moved all in for 86,700 and Lichtenberger couldn't wait to call with his {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}. Weinstein had {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs} and needed to improve to stay alive.

The flop was {6-Spades}{10-Spades}{10-Clubs} and fairly clean for Lichtenberger. The {8-Clubs} came on the turn giving Weinstein four more outs. Weinstein would then spike the {9-Diamonds} on the river for the cruel double-up.

Lichtenberger graciously prepared for break, as Weinstein stacked his chips.

Bauer Building

Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Christopher Thomas opened for 3,500 and was raised from the big blind by Brian Bauer, the big stack at the table. Thomas made the call and the two of them went to the flop.

The dealer fanned {7-Spades}{8-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}. Bauer led out for 8,000 and Thomas made the call. The turn was the {8-Spades} and Bauer didn’t slow down, making it 11,900. Again Thomas made the call. The river was the {9-Hearts} and both players checked.

Bauer flipped over {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts} and when Thomas nodded and passed his cards to the dealer, Bauer had some more stacking to do on his growing pile of chips.

Lichtenberger Lucky to Bust a Player and Chip Up

Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Andrew Lichtenberger
Andrew Lichtenberger

Andrew Lichtenberger opened to 3,800 from middle position and the big blind shoved all in, with Lichtenberger quickly calling with {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}. He needed some big help as his opponent tabled {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}.

The flop of {3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} was no help to "luckychewy," but things got better with the {q-Diamonds} on the turn. The fourth diamond came with the {6-Diamonds} river, completing Lichtenberger's flush and he is getting healthy with chips.
