Shillibier Runs into Kings

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Will Shillibier
Will Shillibier

Robert Levin opened from under the gun to 8,000. The button called and Will Shillibier three-bet all in for 38,000 from the big blind. Levin re-raised all-in and the button folded.

Will Shillibier: {a-}{9-}
Robert Levin: {k-}{k-}

The flop {6-}{8-}{10-} gave Shillibier straight outs, and the {9-} gave him a pair to go along with it. However, the river {3-} bricked and he was sent to the rail.

Meanwhile, Levin chipped up to 195,000 in chips.

Semanko Wins One, Semanko Loses One

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

On the flop {j-Spades}{k-Spades}{4-Spades}, Bartholomew Semanko bet 13,000, and Jordan Garcia called.

The turn was the {10-Clubs} and Semanko sized up to 24,000. Garcia went deep into the tank, checking his hole cards, counting out his stack, and sitting back in his chair for two minutes. Garcia finally folded to preserve his remaining 54,000.

On the next hand, a player from early position raised to 8,000, and he was called by Semanko on the button and Richard Book from the small blind.

The flop came {5-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{4-Spades} and the action checked to Semanko, who bet 8,000. Book then moved all-in for 31,000, the original raiser folded and Semanko called.

Richard Book: {k-Spades}{j-Diamonds}
Bartholomew Semanko: {k-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

Book held the better kicker and held through the turn {a-Spades} and river {7-Diamonds}. Book doubled up and Semanko took a small hit to his stack.

Adam Lamers jammed on the turn with the board showing {2-Hearts}{7-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds} and his opponent called to put him at risk.

Adam Lamers: {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts}
Opponent: {j-}{j-}

Lamers flopped a set of sevens had his opponent drawing thin to a jack before the {4-Spades} river improved Lamers to a full house to give the former final tablist a full double up to 206,000.
