Meono Doubles to Stay Alive

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

James Meono in the cutoff, and the player in the big blind, had already built a sizeable pot by the 10AA flop.

Both players checked to see a Q turn. Meono jammed all in for around 12,000 and got the call from the big blind and the dealer peeled the 8.

Meono showed AK for trip aces, and the big blind mucked his hand.

Nemeskeri-Kiss Applies the Pressure

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Middle position opened the action with a raise to 2,400, the hijack called, and Robert Nemeskeri-Kiss defended in the big blind.

The flop came 795, and Nemeskeri-Kiss went for a check-raise to 9,000 over the hijack's bet of 3,000. Middle position folded.

The turn K went check-check, and the river brought in the J.

Nemeskeri-Kiss fired out a bet of 26,000 and the hijack folded, after some thought.

Hill Chips Up

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Cards were face up on the table and two players were all in, with Tom Hill having his opponent covered.

Opponent: A8 All in
Tom Hill: Q10

The flop came 35K, and Hill would need some help to knock out his opponent. That help came on the 10 turn, where Hill paired his ten. The river fell the K and Hill pulled in the pot.

Coxwell Aquiring Chips From Multiple Opponents

Level 10 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

PokerNews picked up action preflop with Mike Coxwell all in and at risk vs a middle position player. The player on the button was also all in but the shortest stack of the three.

Button: QJAll in
Mike Coxwell : 99All in
Middle Position Player: AJ

The board ran out K8772, Coxwell had many bullets to dodge to secure the victory, he commented to PokerNews "you should have been here ten minutes ago, I had 10,000 in chips". Coxwell's chipstack appears to be headed in the right direction.

Becker Busts, Fried Grows Stronger

Level 10 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

A short stack was all in from early position and Danny Fried reraised from late position to 55,000. Jeremy Becker was directly to his left and counted out his chips while he mulled over his decision. Eventually Becker called off for about 36,500 and all three players' cards were on their backs.

Short Stack: KJ All in
Jeremy Becker: 1010 All in
Danny Fried: JJ

The board ran out 642Q4 and Fried's pair of jacks held to rocket him up the counts.

Becker said he'd be hopping right back in with a fresh stack so he's sure to be spotted back in the field.
