Joslyn's Heater

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 0 ante

Greg Joslyn is suddenly up to 170,000 chips after a sick heater, eliminating one opponent.

There was a three-way all in on a flop of {10-Clubs}{5-Spades}{a-Hearts}, and Joslyn was trailing.

Joslyn: {a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{2-Clubs}
Opponent 1: {a-Spades}{5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{2-Spades}
Opponent 2: {10-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{2-Hearts}

Despite an opponent flopping a set of fives, Joslyn ran him down as the turn and river came {7-Clubs}, {6-Clubs} respectively. The player with the set of fives was eliminated, and the other player who made a low was extinguished shortly thereafter.

Filippi: {4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{2-Clubs}

The board came {a-Hearts}{10-Spades}{7-Hearts}{j-Spades}{a-Spades}, and Joslyn doubled to 42,000 chips.

Filippi Raises the River

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 0 ante

Leonardo Palermo and Wilfredo Divio checked on a board of {3-Hearts}{6-Spades}{3-Spades}{7-Spades}. Amnon Filippi bet into a pot of around 50,000, both players called, and the {a-Diamonds} completed the board.

Palermo moved all in for 10,500, Divio called, and Filippi raised to 40,000. Divio quickly called.

Palermo: {a-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{2-Spades}
Divio: {a-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{4-Spades}
Filippi: {a-Spades}{3-Clubs}{x-Spades}{x-}

Filippi took half of both the side and main pots with a full house (he turned an ace-high flush as well), and Palermo took the low half of the main pot.

Filippi Gets His Wish

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 0 ante
Amnon Filippi
Amnon Filippi

Amnon Filippi called a pot-sized raise preflop from an opponent, then an all-in bet on a flop of {j-Spades}{q-Clubs}{q-Hearts}.

Filippi: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{k-Spades}{4-Hearts}
Opponent: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{9-Spades}

"I just need a ten," Filippi asked.

Ask and you shall receive - the turn was the {10-Diamonds}, giving Filippi a straight. The player needed a nine or an ace to fill up, but the {4-Spades} bricked off on the river.

Filippi is now up to 270,000 chips.
