Chris Bean

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Michel Bouskila bet 1,100 from early position and was met with a raise by the button for 3,000. Davidi Kitai called in the big blind, as did Bouskila.

The flop came K♦6♦4♣ and the button bet 2,000 which got a call from Kitai, but Bouskila check-raised to 10,000. The button called and Kitai folded.

The A♣ came on the turn and Bouskila was all in for 9,000 which was called by the button.

Michel Bouskila: K♣Q♦
Button: A♦3♦

Bouskila had a pair of kings, but the button hit an ace on the turn. The K♥ river gave Bouskila trips and a double up.

Lin Causes Carnage to Bust and Perelman to Triple Up

Chris Bean

Level 5 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Under-the-gun blind raised to 1,000 and Ren Lin announced "Double-straddle!" and blind raised to 2,000 in early position. The cutoff called and Garett Mayberry on the button raised to 7,000.

Rob Perelman in the small blind raised to 26,300, leaving 100 behind. Lin took the first look at his cards and his eyes lit up and moved all in for 37,300 and added a $100 bill to the pot as a bounty. Mayberry made the call and Perelman threw in his last 100 chip.

Rob Perelman: A♦K♦
Ren Lin: 10♠9♠
Garett Mayberry: K♥Q♥

Perelman was ahead when the cards were turned over with ace-high, but the queen on the Q♣7♦3♣ flop gave Mayberry the lead. The 2♦ on the turn left Lin drawing dead but gave Perelman a flush draw.

The J♦ on the river gave Perelman the flush to secure a triple up, while Lin laughed his way to the exit and Mayberry took in the side pot as well as a $100 bill.
