Boukai's Kings Cruise to a Double

Level 5 : 300/600, 600 ante

Jay Farber raised to 1,200 from under the gun, and Rami Boukai called in the hijack. The big blind three-bet to 5,200, and Farber called. Boukai four-bet to 18,200, sending the big blind into the tank. After two minutes, he five-bet to 80,200, enough to cover both players left in the hand. Farber quickly folded, but Boukai tanked for about a minute before calling off his last 59,600.

Rami Boukai: {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}
Opponent: {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}

The {k-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{4-Spades} provided Boukai with a full house, and the {q-Diamonds} turn and {a-Diamonds} river gave Boukai the double.

Sanders Over Six Figures

Level 5 : 300/600, 600 ante

A player raised to 1,500 in middle position and action folded back to Scott Sanders who defended his big blind. The flop came {9-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{4-Clubs} and Sanders checked. His opponent fired a continuation-bet of 1,800 and he made the call.

Both players checked the turn {5-Hearts}, bringing the river {7-Hearts}. Sanders fired 7,000 and his opponent let his cards go. Sanders now finds himself north of 100,000 well into the final level of play for the night.

Sobel Puts His Table on Notice

Level 4 : 300/500, 500 ante

Steve Sobel, from the big blind, faced a 12,700 bet from an opponent on the button, with a {k-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{9-Clubs} flop showing. Sobel went all in over the top for his last 37,700, and his opponent started squirming.

"I have a king," the button player said, lamenting that he couldn't call. He eventually folded and asked Sobel to show a card.

Sobel obliged, turning over the {10-Clubs}, much to the amazement of his fellow players. "Just to put you guys on notice," Sobel said.

Top-Top For Gerecke

Level 4 : 300/500, 500 ante

Mike Gerecke raised from early position to 1,500 and received calls from a player in middle position, Steve Watts in the small blind, and a player in the big blind. The flop came {k-Spades}{j-Hearts}{4-Hearts} and Watts and the big blind checked. Gerecke bet 3,000 and action folded around to the big blind, who called.

The turn fell {q-Diamonds} and both players checked. They proceeded to check the river {3-Clubs} as well, taking the hand to showdown.

Gerecke tabled {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts} for top pair, top kicker. "Wow," the big blind said as she mucked her hand and Gerecke took down the pot.
