Moshe Loses Some

Level 8 : 250/500, 75 ante

When we got to the table, Asi Moshe had already committed 1,750 chips from the small blind and was facing a decision for a total of 4,000 from the player in the big blind. Moshe called.

The flop came {10-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} and Moshe checked. The big blind bet what looked like 4,300, and after brief consideration, Moshe shoved, putting his opponent to a decision for his stack with approximately 20,000 behind. He called to put himself at risk and the two players tabled their hands.

Asi Moshe: {7-Spades}{6-Clubs}
Big blind: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}

Moshe had flopped an open-ended straight draw and needed help from the deck to crack his opponent's queens. The {J-Spades} turn and {9-Clubs} river were no help to Moshe and his opponent took the pot to double up.

Harwood Felted

Level 8 : 250/500, 75 ante

A player in early position raised to 1,200, Loni Harwood called from the hijack, Joao Simao called from the button, and the big blind called, as well.

The four players saw a flop of {7-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} and action checked to Harwood. She bet 3,000, Simao folded, the big blind check-raised to 8,500, the preflop raiser folded, Harwood shoved for about 13,000 total, and the big blind called to put her at risk.

Loni Harwood: {J-Spades}{J-Hearts}
Big blind: {Q-Clubs}{9-Clubs}

Harwood had the advantage with her jacks but needed to dodge her opponent's flush draw and overcard. The {5-Clubs} turn made her opponent's flush, and after the {7-Hearts} hit the river, he took the pot to stack her. Several other familiar faces have also recently been eliminated, including Chris Moorman, Darryll Fish, and Jessica Dawley.

Sahagian Finds a Double

Level 8 : 250/500, 75 ante

The player in middle position opened to 1,100. Matthew Sahagian, from one seat over, three-bet shoved for 6,625. Action folded back to the original raiser who snap-called.

Matthew Sahagian: {a-Spades}{q-Spades}
Opponent: {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}

Sahagian hit a pretty favorable flop of {6-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{4-Spades}. The {q-Clubs} turn and {10-Hearts} river completed the board and Sahagian got his much needed double up.

Loeser Doubles Up

Level 9 : 300/600, 100 ante

Late registration just closed, and Manig Loeser was among the last-minute entries. He shoved from middle position for 7,500 and action folded around to the big blind.

"Where you from, man? You Euro?" asked the big blind.

"I'll tell you after you act," said Loeser with a smile.

As soon as the big blind called to put Loeser at risk, he said "Germany" as the two players tabled their hands.

Manig Loeser: {K-Spades}{Q-Clubs}
Big blind: {A-Spades}{10-Hearts}

The big blind had the preflop edge and Loeser needed to improve in order to double up. The board ran out {Q-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{5-Clubs} to give Loeser trip queens and he took the pot to double up.
