Rosenfeld Doubles Through Smith

Level 8 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Catching the action on a flop of {5-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}, Dan Smith was first to act and he checked to Michael Rosenfeld who put out a bet of what looked like 15,000. Reiner Kempe called before Dan Smith check-raised, making it 65,000. Rosenfeld called while Smith quickly folded.

The turn was the {K-Spades} and Smith tanked for a good while, using one time extension before he announced that he was all in for 201,500.

"Well," Rosenfeld said after thinking for a bit, "there's no time like the present."

He called and it was on to a showdown.

Michael Rosenfeld: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}
Dan Smith: {J-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}

Rosenfeld had the best of it with the better flush draw and ace high, but Smith still had some outs. The river was the {10-Clubs}, though, and that was it. Rosenfeld earned a full double for 172,000 while Smith was left with crumbs — a stack of 29,500.

Pardo Makes a Big Call to Double Up

Level 7 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Action was on the river and with around 40,000 in the pot, Ognjen Sekularac had a bet in front of him that was enough to put Juan Pardo Dominguez all in for 145,000. The board was {6-Spades}{3-Clubs}{A-Spades}{6-Hearts}{J-Clubs} and Pardo was in the tank. He thought for two time extensions and eventually decided to call. Sekularac turned up his {2-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} for a bluff and Pardo had him beat with {A-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} for two pair. That allowed him to take down the pot and double up to right around 335,000 while Sekurlarac was left with right around 260,000.

Riess Puts the Pressure on Schillhabel

Level 7 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Catching up on the turn with the board showing {9-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{5-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} with about 40,000 in the pot, Stefan Schillhabel put out a bet of 35,000. Ryan Riess was the other player in the hand with position and he made it 125,000. Schillhabel called.

The river was the {2-Diamonds} and Schillhabel checked. Riess put out a bet of 275,000 nearly putting himself all in but leaving a bit behind. Schillhabel thought for a while, but eventually folded, flashing his {A-}{5-Diamonds} in the process for trips and allowing Riess to take down the big pot.

Jaffe Sent to the Rail by Schillhabel

Level 7 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Stefan Schillhabel
Stefan Schillhabel

Picking up the action on the river, the board showed {7-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{A-Clubs} and Jonathan Jaffe checked over to Stefan Schillhabel who put out a bet that was large enough to put Jaffe all in. Jaffe thought for a good while then eventually he called off his stack. Jaffe was holding {A-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} for a pair of aces, but Schillhabel held {A-Spades}{K-Clubs} for a pair of aces with a better kicker. That meant that Jaffee would be sent to the rail while Schillhabel chipped up to over 500,000.
