Burchfield's Shows Rockets

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Kristopher Burchfield raised to 6,500 from early position and action folded around to the player in big blind who made the call. The big-blind player then check-called a 7,000 continuation bet from Burchfield on the {3-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{q-Hearts} flop.

After both players checked the {q-Clubs} turn and the big-blind player again checked the {7-Hearts} river, Burchfield slid out a bet of 9,000, which was called by the big-blind player, who then mucked when Burchfield tabled {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}.

Opponent: {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}

Kempe's hand prevailed on the {10-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{a-Clubs} board and the German high roller will continue with more than 40 big blinds.

Schiff's Set Scoops

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Emile Schiff raised to 6,000 from early position and action folded around to the player in the big blind who defended. After both players checked the {10-Spades}{q-Spades}{j-Clubs} flop, the big-blind player led out for 6,000 on the {8-Diamonds} turn and Schiff made the call.

Perhaps sensing something in the hand didn't make sense, the player in the big blind then checked the {5-Spades} river, prompting Schiff to put out a bet of 8,000. The big-blind player re-checked his cards, shifted in his seat and made the call, but quickly folded when Schiff tabled {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts} for the turned set that had carried through as the best hand on a very draw-heavy board.

With the cards out, Alan Lau was counting his stack, having won a three-way contest which saw the players put their all chips into the middle.

Good Call for Brandt

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

The board already read {6-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{4-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} with a pot containing more than 22,000 when the small blind player bet 12,000. Lawrence Brandt tanked for a few minutes and ended up calling, showing {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}. His opponent tabled {6-Hearts}{9-Hearts} and the pot was sent to Brandt.

Farber Doubles Up the Hard Way

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

A player in middle position raised it to 6,000 and when action got around to Ronald Farber he three-bet shoved. The original raiser asked for a count, the dealer confirmed 63,000 total, and after some thought the original raiser made the call and Farber saw that he was behind with a smaller pair.

Ronald Farber: {7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}
Original Raiser: {9-Hearts}{9-Spades}

The {2-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} flop didn't seem to offer much help after the original raiser flopped middle set, but the {8-Hearts} turn gave Farber the slim hope of hitting the runner-runner gutshot straight. The {6-Diamonds} river was one of the four outs that Farber needed to hit to double up and stay alive on Day 2.

Jon Turner three-bet his right-hand neighbor's raise of 9,000 in a battle of early positions. Turner made it 27,000, the other player moved all in and Turner snap-called.

Turner was ahead with {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs} against {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} and a smooth board of {2-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{k-Spades}{6-Spades}{10-Hearts} confirmed Turner's double for 141,500.
