"Borderline" Takes Big Hit While "NevilleWeeee" Doubles

Level 7 : 500/1,000, 125 ante

It was another blind on blind battle, and "Borderline" raised to 2,000 from the small, with "NevilleWeeee" raising from the big to 5,800. "Borderline" called, then bombed the pot for 191,000 on the {j-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{8-Spades} flop. It didn't take "NevilleWeeee" long to put in the call for their remaining 20,878, and they were in great shape with {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} versus {a-Clubs}{2-Spades} for "Borderline".

{10-Hearts}{q-Spades} on the turn and river gave "NevilleWeeee" the straight and the double up.

"callmeBOT" Holds with Tens

Level 5 : 300/600, 75 ante

"ANARCHYFTW" opened under the gun to 1,320 and "KrAvRoRa" called from the cutoff as did "callmeBOT" from the small and "davedelmar" from the big. The flop came {4-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} and it checked to "KrAvRoRa" who bet 1,200.

"callmeBOT" was the only caller and they both checked the {j-Diamonds} turn. They checked again on the {3-Diamonds} river, and "callmeBot"'s pocket tens were the best hand.

Meanwhile, former chip leader "ilovecrabs69" is at the same table and has dropped down a bit in the standings.
