Cuz Cracks Aces

Level 4 : 200/400, 400 ante

Steven "Cuz" Buckner raised to 1,100 in first position and from the cutoff, another player three-bet to 3,000 which folded out all remaining action except Buckner who called.

The flop came out {k-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} and Buckner checked to his opponent who continued for 3,000. Buckner raised to 8,000 and his opponent called.

The turn came out {q-Diamonds} and Buckner bet 10,000 with his opponent moving all-in for 1,400 more which Buckner quickly called.

Opponent: {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}
Steven "Cuz" Buckner: {k-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}

The river came out a {7-Hearts}, keeping Buckner's kings-up ahead of the overpair, and the cutoff player left the tournament while Buckner added more chips to his growing stack.

Godschaux Holds with Aces to Score an Elimination

Level 4 : 200/400, 400 ante

The flop read {8-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{3-Spades} with approximately 40,000 in the middle already.

Jeff Godchaux was sitting in the big blind with the all-in button in front of him and so was his opponent in the hijack with the shorter stack which looked like it was worth around 2,500.

Hijack: {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}
Jeff Godchaux: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}

The rest of the board was completed with the {9-Spades} on the turn and the {9-Diamonds} on the river for Godchaux to hold with the aces for the higher two pair to knock his opponent out of the tournament.

Zobian Wins Four-Bet Pot

Level 4 : 200/400, 400 ante

A player in early position raised to 800 and from one seat over, Aram Zobian three-bet to 2,500. Action folded back around to the initial raiser who four-bet to 6,500 which Zobian called.

The board ran out {j-Spades}{k-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{a-Spades} with action checking all the way through and the initial raiser turned over {k-Hearts}{4-Hearts} for a jacks full of kings.

Zobian turned over {a-Clubs}{3-Clubs} for jacks full of aces which was good for the pot and said "I knew I had the best hand pre," while raking in the pot.

Henderson's Full House Good for Knockout

Level 3 : 200/300, 300 ante

The pot was 12,500 with a flop of {q-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{q-Spades}, and Trace Henderson bet 2,300 from the small blind. His opponent on the button made a quick call, and they took it to the turn.

The board got even more interesting when the {j-Spades} hit the felt, and Henderson continued for 6,400. His opponent thought for a moment, and made the call to commit more than half of his stack.

Once the {9-Diamonds} appeared, Henderson bet more than enough to put his opponent all-in. With some deliberation, his opponent made the call for his remaining chips.

The player at risk turned over {a-Spades}{10-Hearts} for Broadway, but Henderson tabled the {q-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} for a turned full house, and added an elimination to his name.

Grafton Gets Some Chips Back

Level 3 : 200/300, 300 ante

The board read {k-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{5-Hearts} with around 4,000 in the middle.

Sam Grafton was sitting in the under-the-gun position and opted to check. His opponent on the button decided to do the same to see the {6-Spades} complete the board.

Grafton flicked a chip for a bet of 500 and got called. He tabled the {a-Spades}{9-Spades} for the pair of nines which was enough for his opponent to muck.
