One-Eyed Jack for Roberts

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Barry Woods in the cutoff and Christian Roberts on the button clashed preflop with Roberts all-in and at risk for 322,000.

Christian Roberts: JJAll in
Barry Woods: AA

Woods had Roberts on the ropes, but the 978 gave Roberts additional outs to a straight.

The 4 was of no consequence, but just as Roberts began to stand up from the table, he hit gin on the river when the J peeled to give him a set and crack the pocket aces of Woods.

After a few minutes, Sitbon called for his remaining chips.

Julien Sitbon :88 All in
Joey Weissman: Q9

SItbon was in bad shape with pocket eights against Weissman's trips. No help came for Sitbon on the K river, and he headed to the nearest exit.

Tinney Leaves One Chip Behind

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

There was approximately 50,000 in the pot on a board that read 6710K.

Maxx Coleman bet 15,000 on the turn before Glen Tinney responded with a raise to 65,000.

Coleman was not to be outdone, and he three-bet to 150,000. Tinney called.

The 3 river led to a check from Coleman before Tinney staged together all his chips except a single 1,000 chip and bet 202,000, which sent Coleman into the tank.

Coleman gave it some thought for a couple of minutes before he decided on a fold as Tinney won the pot.

Mike Meskin: A10 All in
Artem Riabov: AA

"SHIP IT! Great country to play poker in America!" said Meskin as he tabled the nuts.

Riabov drawing to runner-runner could not find it as the board ran out 210, and Meskin doubled.

Lambrecht Runs into Wantman's Ladies

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

From the blinds, Matthew Lambrecht and Matthew Wantman just got all in preflop, with Lambrecht being the player at risk.

Matthew Lambrecht: A8 All in
Matthew Wantman: QQ

Lambrecht had run into Wantman's pocket queens, but he could hit an ace to double up and leave Wantman on just a few big blinds.

The 6JK flop was great for Wantman and so was the 5 turn. The miracle ace on the river didn't come for Lambrecht as the 8 completed the board, and Lambrecht headed for the exit.
