Mosely Dominique Sends One Home

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 0 ante

Mosley Dominique raised to 5,000 from middle position and Grazvydas Kontautas three-bet to 20,000 from the cutoff. Dominique called and the two players saw a flop of {Q-Spades}{7-Spades}{3-Clubs}. Dominique checked, Kontautas bet 25,000, and after briefly going into the tank, Dominique made a pot-sized check-raise. Kontautas quickly came over the top and all the chips were in the middle in a hurry.

Grazvydas Kontautas: {A-Clubs}{A-Spades}{10-Spades}{6-Clubs}
Mosley Dominique: {K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{J-Spades}{7-Diamonds}

Dominique had the advantage with his two pair, but Kontautas could hit an ace or spade to take the lead. The {7-Clubs} on the turn extended Dominique's lead by giving him sevens full of kings, and the {5-Hearts} on the river meant the pot was his.

Paul Leckey Triples

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 0 ante

With about 45,000 chips already in the middle and the board reading {J-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{5-Clubs}, Paul Leckey shoved from the hijack for 31,600, Micah Smith reshoved from the cutoff, and Kurt Fruchtman called from the button to put both players at risk.

Leckey had {J-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{8-Hearts} and Smith {Q-Spades}{9-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{7-Hearts}, meaning Leckey had top set, and while Smith had a wrap, Leckey's open-ended straight draw meant that some of Smith's outs would result in a chop. Meanwhile Fruchtman's hand was missed in the rapid action, though he was well behind Leckey, too.

The {5-Hearts} turn gave Leckey the nut boat and left both of his opponents in even worse shape, and the {Q-Hearts} river meant Leckey tripled while Smith won the side pot against Fruchtman.

Ramos Busts O'Donoghue

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 0 ante

Among the next to fall were short stacks John O'Shea and Benjamin Pollak, and Liam O'Donoghue has also been eliminated.

Regarding the latter bust, Felipe Ramos had a far bigger stack on O'Donoghue's former table and provided the details. According to Ramos, it all went in a flop of {10-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}, O'Donoghue got it in with a naked pair of aces but Ramos had flopped the nut straight with {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}, and the better hand held.

Tong Takes One

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 0 ante

Alan Reyf raised to 6,000 from the button and Kristopher Tong called in the small blind, as did David Callaghan in the big blind. On the {J-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} flop, Tong bet 10,300 and Callaghan called while Reyf folded. The {4-Clubs} turn paired the board and both players checked before Tong bet the {K-Clubs} river for 16,000.

Callaghan let go and Tong claimed the pot. "I know you had a big hand, because you raised to 6,000 and not 4,500 this time," Tong said to Reyf.

With 9,000 chips already in the middle on a flop of {Q-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}, Igor Sharaskin checked from the big blind and Toby Lewis bet the pot from under the gun. Sharaskin check-raised all in and Lewis called to put him at risk.

Igor Sharaskin: {A-Spades}{Q-Spades}{J-Hearts}{6-Clubs}
Toby Lewis: {K-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}

Sharaskin had the lead with top two pair, but Lewis had numerous straight and flush outs. The {K-Clubs} on the turn gave Lewis some additional outs but kept Sharaskin in the lead, but the {9-Clubs} river gave Lewis a king-high straight to take the pot and send Sharaskin to the rail.

Shak Takes From Baumstein

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 0 ante

Scott Baumstein was on the button and raised to 4,500. Dan Shak called from the small blind and Henri Koivisto defended his big blind.

The flop was {9-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{6-Clubs} and everyone checked to the turn which was the {4-Diamonds}. Shak led for 10,000 and Baumstein called after Koivisto folded.

The river was the {a-Diamonds} and Shak fired out a bet of 15,000 which Baumstein snap-called. Shak tabled {k-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} for a flush and Baumstein's cards found the muck.

"Just a Standard PLO Hand"

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 0 ante

The good fortune of David "ODB" Baker didn't last long, as he tangled in a big pot with Andrew Brown just now.

They were all in after a flop of {J-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}. Brown showed {K-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{J-Spades}{J-Diamonds} for top set and Baker flashed {A-Clubs}{A-}{9-Clubs}{7-} for aces and the nut flush draw. Both the {2-Spades} turn and {9-Diamonds} river failed to improve Baker and he lost the majority of his stack. "How are those aces doing today?" Dan Shak asked, having previously doubled Baker when his aces were no good either.

"It was just a standard PLO hand," Baker added.
