Bohmerwald Doubles Through Saliba

Level 7 : 100/200, 25 ante

Michael "BobMerwald" Bohmerwald raised to 475 from the hijack and Justin "Jsaliba2" Saliba responded with a three-bet to 1,581 from the cutoff. Action folded back to Bohmerwald and he four-bet to 5,450. Saliba pushed back by five-bet jamming and Bohmerwald called off the remaining 14,500 he had behind.

Michael "BobMerwald" Bohmerwald: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
Justin "Jsaliba2" Saliba: {q-Hearts}{q-Spades}

It was a cooler and Saliba was on the bad end of it. The board ran out {j-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} and Bohmerwald shipped the double.

Gillis Rockets to a Double

Level 7 : 100/200, 25 ante

"Chaumilton" raised to 525 from early position, and Ted "dobyg" Gillis three-bet to 1,250 from the hijack. Matthew "Bodeyster" Bode four-bet jammed for 18,872 from the big blind, and after "Chaumilton" folded, Gillis snap-called for his last 10,195 total.

Ted "dobyg" Gillis: {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}
Matthew "Bodeyster" Bode: {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades}

Bode's queens were smashed by the aces of Gillis, and the {8-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{2-Hearts} flop left Bode with a single out to earn the pot. The {4-Spades} turn and {7-Clubs} river changed nothing, and Gillis doubled up.

Another Pound of Flesh For "FleshGolem"

Level 7 : 100/200, 25 ante

Roy "Renoroy" Peters limped in from the cutoff, as did "Blesser90" on the button and "DUCKHUNTDAVE" in the small blind. Current chip leader Matthew "FleshGolem" Elsby raised to 1,000 in the big blind, and only Peters and "Blesser90" called.

Elsby bet 1,200 on a {7-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} flop, and Peters raised to 7,000. "Blesser90" called, and Elsby three-bet shoved, easily covering both of his opponents. Peters called for 18,385 total, and "Blesser90" folded.

Roy "Renoroy" Peters: {a-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}
Matthew "FleshGolem" Elsby: {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}

Elsby's set of nines earned another big pot when the {8-Spades} turn and {2-Clubs} river failed to bring Peters any help.

Level 8 : 120/240, 30 ante

Corbin "nomad75" White raised to 480 from under the gun, and Phillip "ptdodge250" Hayes three-bet to 1,275 from the button. White called.

White check-called a bet of 1,590 from Hayes on a {6-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} flop, and the {7-Diamonds} fell on the turn. White checked again, and Hayes bet 4,770. White check-raised all in, and Hayes called for 15,246 total.

Phillip "ptdodge250" Hayes: {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}
Corbin "nomad75" White: {a-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}

White's turned nut flush left Hayes dead to the {j-Spades} river, and Hayes re-entered.

Pagan's Not Adverse to Knockouts

Level 8 : 120/240, 30 ante

"uscbarb0306" jammed for 4,107 from under the gun, and Anthony "Adversity45" Pagan called next to act.

"uscbarb0306": {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}
Anthony "Adversity45" Pagan: {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}

Pagan fell well behind on the {a-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{9-Hearts} flop, but the {7-Spades} turn gave him a full house and left "uscbarb0306" looking for an ace or nine to survive. The {2-Diamonds} river sent the pot to Pagan, and "uscbarb0306" was eliminated.

Matt "Nitro0" Affleck Hits the Nitrous to Triple

Level 8 : 120/240, 30 ante
Matt Affleck
Matt Affleck

After a player opened for 240 and another called, Matt "Nitro0" Affleck moved all in for 2,469 from the cutoff. "Allen29" called next to act and then "first01" jammed for 18,515 from the big blind. Action folded back to "Allen29" and they called off for 18,176 total.

Matt "Nitro0" Affleck: {a-Spades}{j-Spades}
"Allen29": {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}
"first01": {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}

Affleck was in big trouble, but not after the flop came down {2-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} to give him trips. The running {3-Diamonds} turn and {3-Spades} river improved him to a full house and he shipped the triple while the other two players chopped the side pot.

"The Mouth" Can't Hit a Big Draw

Level 8 : 120/240, 30 ante
Mike Matusow
Mike Matusow

Kenja "Chaos" Wiseman raised to 480 from middle position, and was called by Mike "Mouth123" Matusow in the cutoff and "bwizzod15" on the button.

Wiseman checked the {4-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} flop to Matusow, who bet 1,035. "bwizzod15" raised to 2,790, and Wiseman folded. Matusow three-bet to 10,440, then called off his last 9,298 after "bwizzod15" four-bet shoved.

Mike "Mouth123" Matusow: {q-Clubs}{j-Clubs}
"bwizzod15": {4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}

"bwizzod15" had flopped a set of fours for the lead, but Matusow had plenty of outs with a gutshot and a flush draw. The {j-Diamonds} turn and {a-Spades} river failed to bring either draw in for "The Mouth", and he re-entered.
