Josh Noy

Level 17 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Eric Hershler raised to 19,000 in early position and was called by Lloyd Garrison. Their opponent in the small blind moved all in for 90,000 with Hershler mucking his hand. Garrison made the call leaving his opponent at risk.

Small Blind: 5♠5♣
Lloyd Garrison: A♣K♣

Garrison still trailed after the 8♠8♣4♦ flop, while the J♣ turn brought some counterfeit outs. The J♥ was one of them, as Garrison took the pot away with his ace kicker, sending his opponent to the rail.

Steiger's Rockets Hold to Double Up

Chris Bean

Level 16 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

There were 105,000 chips in the middle from the pre-flop action and the flop came J♦8♠5♦. Michael Steiger moved all in for 115,000 from the hijack and was called by a player in early position.

Michael Steiger: A♥A♣
Early Position: Q♠Q♦

"Dammit!" shouted the early position player when Steiger turned over the pocket aces. The 9♦ turn gave additional gutshot outs to early position, but the 5♠ was a brick and Steiger doubled up.

Steiger mentioned to PokerNews that his wife will go crazy seeing his name in the updates. Mrs. Steiger - hopefully you will regain your composure in short order.

Josh Noy

Level 16 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Lakshmi Narasimha was heads up with David Burritt after the 10♥2♥4♠ flop, checking the action to his left. Burritt slid out a bet of 50,000 which Narasimha called.

Both players checked the 8♥ turn before Narasimha led out for 55,000 on the J♠ river.

Burritt took some time before making the call, showing Q♣Q♦ for top pair. Narasimha turned over A♥K♥ for the flush, taking much of Burritt's stack.

Burritt's fortunes changed on the very next hand, as his K♥10♥ spiked a pair on the flop against 10♣10♦ to double back up.

Lakshmi Narasimha	420,000

There were 28,000 in the middle on the flop of 3♥3♠2♠ and Loyd Vaughn bet 22,000 from the big blind and was called by middle position.

Both players checked the A♠ turn and the 5♣ landed on the river prompting Vaughn to bet 30,000. The middle position player opted to fold on the coordinated board and Vaughn adds to his increasing stack.
