Final Barrel Convinces Vayo

Level 7 : 400/800, 0 ante

Gordon Vayo was in early position in what looked to be a three-bet pot against a player in the big blind, who barreled down a board of {2-Clubs}{j-Spades}{2-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}. Vayo faced first a bet of 7,000, then 12,500, then 23,000. That was most of his remaining chips and he gave it up fairly quickly on the end.

Billirakis Caught With Dry Ace

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 0 ante

On a completed board of {8-Clubs}{10-Spades}{4-Spades}{5-Spades}{7-Hearts}, small blind Steve Billirakis bet 45,000, about enough to put his opponent in middle position all in. That player thought awhile and then called it off. Billirakis opened {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} for top set and the nut blocker, and that went into the muck upon {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{k-Spades}{j-Spades} being shown.

Tollerene Pots on Two

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 0 ante

Three players checked a {9-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} flop and Ben Tollerene bet 3,500 from the big blind on the {8-Clubs} turn. An opponent in the cutoff and Ian O'Hara in the small blind both continued. The river was the {5-Hearts} and Tollerene potted for around 20,000. That induced two quick folds and earned him the pot.
