Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Action was joined as Darryl Jerred was all in and at risk versus Timothy Neufeld.

Darryl Jerred: 7♥7♣ All in
Timothy Neufeld: A♠10♦

The situation was promising for Jerred, with a double-up still on the cards on the 4♠6♣2♥ flop.

The turn A♣, however, saw Neufeld take the lead, and Jerred had just one opportunity to find one of his two outs to survive.

The river 2♠ was no help, though, and as Neufeld added to his stack, Jerred headed to the exit.

Choppy Waters on the River

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Action was joined with Michael Walker all in and at risk, versus Robert Fisher preflop.

Michael Walker: K♠K♥ All in
Robert Fisher: A♠Q♥

A promising situation for Walker on the 3♣4♥5♣ flop quickly turned sour on the A♥ turn.

Not being greedy, Walker requested that the dealer put out a wheel-completing deuce, to chop the pot.

As requested, the dealer turned over the 2♦ river, giving both players a straight, and seeing them pull their stacks back, along with their portion of the blinds.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Peter Backen went all in from late position for 41,500. It folded to Dara O'Kearney in the big blind and he seemed anguished for a bit before folding 9♥9♣ face up. Backen didn't seem surprised by the fold.

"It's my first Super Seniors," O'Kearney said.

"You have to fold the nines there," the table chirped in.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

David White raised to 7,000 from middle position before Thomas Betz jammed his last 20,000 into the middle from the small blind. White quickly called.

Thomas Betz:K♠Q♠ All in
David White: K♥K♦

Betz was dominated by White's cowboys and needed a lot of help from the dealer to survive. The board ran out 2♦A♥5♦Q♥J♦, which gave Betz a pair, but it wasn't enough to beat White's pocket kings.

Chilakapati Rivers Higher Straight

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

After an early position raise to 8,000 by Michael Megison, Ramaprasad Chilakapati called, followed by two others still to act.

The flop 9♦Q♥J♦ folded around to Chilakapati, who took over the betting lead, pushing out a bet of 9,000. Only Megison called, and the players moved on to the turn.

Megison decided to retake the betting lead on the 4♣ turn, doing so for 13,000, which Chilikapati called.

The river 10♥ saw sparks fly. Megison moved all in for his remaining stack, and Chilikapati snap-called. Megison turned over 9♠8♠ for a rivered straight, but Chilikapati showed he had rivered a higher straight with his K♦Q♠.

Megison was the shorter stack and, as such, vacated his seat and headed to the exit.

Erick Torres

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Robert Cheung opened from middle position to 10,000. He faced a three-bet from Peter Splettstoesser to 26,000 from the hijack.

Cheung did an inventory before he went all in for 35,500 total. Splettstoesser called, and the cards were on their backs.

Robert Cheung: A♥A♦ All in
Peter Splettstoesser: A♣K♦

The flop was a precarious one for Cheung as it came out K♣10♣J♣, giving Splettstoesser a pair plus a flush draw and chop outs to a straight.

The 2♥ turn was safe for Cheung, but the 7♣ river was a disaster for Cheung as it gave Splettstoesser a flush.

Demeza Rivers a Straight

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Joseph Hernon raised to 4,000 from middle position with Michael Demeza calling from the small blind, and Linda Larson defending her big blind.

All three players checked the 10♦2♣2♦ flop to see the 8♥ appear on the turn. Demeza checked before Larson bet 6,000. Hernon folded, but Demeza called.

Both players checked the 9♥ river and Demeza revealed a straight with Q♠J♥ to win the pot.

Michael Demeza	165,000 17,500	17,500

Set of Tens for Detert

Erick Torres

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Hamed Cholagh raised from the button to 6,500 and faced an all in by Mark Detert from the big blind for 34,500. Cholagh called and sent them to a showdown.

Mark Detert: 10♥10♠ All in
Hamed Cholagh: A♦K♦

The first card out was a welcome sight for Cholagh as it was the K♣, but the rest of the flop was not as helpful as it fanned out 10♣6♠.

The 4♠ turn and the 9♥ river completed the board to give Detert the double with a set of tens.
