Level 12 : 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Action folded around to the blinds, where Adam Friedman raised from the small. George Alexander called from the big.

Both players checked on the {a-Spades} turn and Friedman checked again on the {k-Hearts} river — prompting a bet from Alexander.

Friedman then check-raised and Alexander folded. Friedman showed {10-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} for a whiffed straight draw as he scooped the pot.

Bohlman Busts; Monnette Gets a Jam Through

Level 12 : 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Scott Bohlman
Scott Bohlman

Limit 2-7 Triple Draw

Scott Bohlman raised with his short stack and called a three-bet by Julien Martini in the small blind. Martini drew one and Bohlman took one. The bet of Martini was called and both took one, Bohlman got his last few chips in and they patted. Martini had a {10-}{8-}{5-}{4-}{2-} and Bohlman flashed an inferior {10-}{8-}{6-}{5-}{x-} to bust.

As a result, the field was reduced to the final 36 players and a table broke to balance the field, sending Daniel Negreanu to the vacated seat. He arrived while the game type had just changed.

No-Limit Hold'em

John Monnette raised to 13,000 and called a three-bet by Josh Arieh. The {8-Hearts}{7-Spades}{6-Hearts} flop saw Monnette jam for what appeared to be 113,000 and Arieh folded.

Limit Hold'em

Chad Campbell missed a flopped flush draw but instead hit running queens with the {q-Spades}{5-Spades} for trips to get paid off by Brian Rast.

Rast Takes From Campbell

Level 12 : 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

Brian Rast opened to 13,000 on the button and was called by Robert Campbell in the big blind.

Both players checked on the {k-Spades}{j-Spades}{5-Diamonds} flop, but Campbell led out for 22,000 when the {4-Hearts} fell on the turn. Rast called.

The {q-Diamonds} completed the board and both players checked down.

Campbell tabled {q-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} for two pair, but it was no good against the {k-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{4-Spades} of Rast for a superior two pair and he scooped the pot.

Level 12 : 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

The {3-Clubs} completed the board and Klein tossed a 25,000 bet into the middle.

"I can't beat that," Cates said and he tossed his cards into the muck.
