Pocket Rockets Fail to Hold for Zhang

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 400 ante

Patrick "Brokerpat" Megna raised to 10,800 from the hijack and Aaron "Fishfold" Frei three-bet jammed for 58,577 from the cutoff. Zhi Chao "Luwvl88" Zhang then called off for 57308 from the button, both blinds folded, and Megna got out of the way.

Zhi Chao "Luwvl88" Zhang: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}
Aaron "Fishfold" Frei: {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}

Zhang got it in with the granddaddy of all hands, but he fell way behind when the {4-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{10-Spades} flop gave Frei a set. The {7-Clubs} and {j-Clubs} appeared on the turn and river respectively, and Frei improved to a full house to crack aces and send Zhang to the rail.

Ryan Eriquezzo
Ryan Eriquezzo

Shawn "shades927" Stroke raised to 8,888 from the cutoff. Ryan "GoFeltAfiSh" Eriquezzo three-bet to 29,749 out of the big blind. Stroke then four-bet all in which Eriquezzo called.

Ryan "GoFeltAfiSh" Eriquezzo: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Shawn "shades927" Stroke: {k-Hearts}{j-Spades}

Eriquezzo was ahead but not after the flop as it came {7-Spades}{4-Hearts}{j-Clubs} to pair the jack of Stroke. The turn was the {2-Clubs} and the river came the {3-Spades} to send Eriquezzo away.

Mukul Pahuja
Mukul Pahuja

Mukul "NJ_NeVerMuK" Pahuja raised to 6,800 on the button. The big blind "bbissick" defended.

The flop came {k-Hearts}{7-Spades}{2-Hearts}. Pahuja bet 5,780 and was called.

The turn was the {8-Diamonds}. Pahuja bet again, this time for 19,040, "bbissick pounced with a raise to 56,553 which Pahuja called to make the pot 143,026.

The river came the {a-Clubs}. Both players checked. "bbissick" showed nothing with the {10-Hearts}{9-Clubs} and Pahuja showed the winning hand, the {k-Clubs}{q-Spades} to give him the nice pot.

Natividad Set Up to Bust

Level 15 : 1,700/3,400, 340 ante

Robert "Nvrstsfied" Natividad raised to 7,275 from middle position only to have Chris "johnsonck" Johnson three-bet to 18,000 from the hijack. Action folded back to Natividad and he jammed for 69,906, which Johnson quickly called.

Robert "Nvrstsfied" Natividad: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Chris "johnsonck" Johnson: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}

Natividad got it in good but disaster struck when the {q-Spades}{6-Clubs}{2-Spades} flop delivered Johnson a set. Neither the {a-Hearts} turn nor {9-Clubs} river helped Natividad and he hit the rail.

Some Shorter Stacks

Level 15 : 1,700/3,400, 340 ante

The Ladies Love Nick "nickyp1010" Palma

Level 15 : 1,700/3,400, 340 ante
Nick Palma
Nick Palma

After an under-the-gun limp, Aaron "Fishfold" Frei raised to 14,620 two spots over. Zhi Chao "Luwvl88" Zhang called next to act and then Nick "nickyp1010" Palma three-bet jammed for 107,482 from the button. Both blinds folded, Frei called, and Zhang got out of the way.

Nick "nickyp1010" Palma: {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Aaron "Fishfold" Frei: {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}

It was a classic flip but not after the {7-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{10-Hearts} flop gave Palma top set. Still, Frei had both straight and flush draws, both of which were rendered moot after the {7-Diamonds} turn filled up Palma.

The meaningless {2-Diamonds} was run out on the river and Palma shipped the double.

Ryan DePaulo

Ryan "Joeyisamush" Depaulo jammed all in from the small blind for his remaining 26,098. He got called by the big stack Barry "puigmyfriend' Hutter in the big blind.

Depaulo was at risk holding the {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts} against the {k-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} of Hutter.

The flop strengthened Depaulo's position as it came {7-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{6-Spades}. The turn was the {k-Clubs} and the river came the {4-Clubs} to secure the double for Depaulo.
