Somerville's Not a Nit

Level 7 : 300/600, 75 ante

Jason Somerville just proved a point that he's not a nit, and with a little luck he also managed to double up.

Somerville ended up all in for 12,125 against Fred Gleeck, and the showdown went as following.

Somerville: {A-Clubs}{8-Clubs}
Gleeck: {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}

The board ran out {9-Clubs}{8-Spades}{6-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{10-Spades} and Somerville hit a pair of eights to stay alive on his first bullet.

"There was just one level left to re-enter, and people are calling me a nit," Somerville smiled as he's likely to make it through the re-entry period on one bullet.

Gomez Doubles

Level 7 : 300/600, 75 ante

Derek Gomez just doubled up to move to 21,000 in chips. He was all in from the small blind with the {J-Diamonds}{5-Spades} against the player in the big blind's {Q-Diamonds}{8-Spades}. Gomez's chances didn't look good after the {8-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{3-Clubs} flop, but the {J-Spades} on the turn helped propel him back into the lead.

The river was the {2-Clubs}, and Gomez doubled up.

No Comeback for "dmoongirl"

Level 7 : 300/600, 75 ante

Danish former UFC middleweight fighter had been sitting to the right of Danielle "dmoongirl" Andersen during the first levels of this event, but things just got a little easier for him, as she got knocked out.

Kampmann himself raised to 1,025 and Andersen, down to just 1,225, moved all in after looking at her cards.

"I was gonna move all in blind," Andersen laughed, as she committed her last chips anyway.

The action then folded to Eric Stevenson and he moved all in to put Kampmann at risk as well. Kampmann folded and Andersen was heads up against Stevenson.

Andersen: {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}
Stevenson: {A-Clubs}{10-Hearts}

"King-ball, corner pocket!" Andersen yelled in an attempt at a comeback.

The flop however brought out {10-Spades}{8-Hearts}{5-Hearts} and Stevenson took the lead with a pair of tens. On the turn the {7-Diamonds} hit and the river was the {6-Diamonds}, knocking Andersen out.

Edwards Cracks Aces

Level 4 : 100/200, 50 ante

With the board showing {9-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} the action was on Noel Edwards who was facing a shove from the player on his left.

There was already about 6,000 in the middle, and Edwards had to call an additional 3,525 to see the river. After a while he did, and was shown {A-Clubs}{A-Spades}.

Edwards needed some help to win the hand with {8-Clubs}{7-Hearts}, and the river brought just that with the {10-Diamonds}.

Edwards made a straight to knock out his opponent, and he now sits on about 22,000 chips.

King Spikes Quads

Level 5 : 150/300, 50 ante

Brandon King just landed quads on the river to win a big pot and move to 36,000 in chips, but he had to do so in order to come from behind in a set-over-set confrontation.

King limped in from the under-the-gun position, a woman in middle position raised to 600, the player in the big blind called, and then King called.

The flop came down {8-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{2-Spades}, and action checked to the woman in middle position. She bet 400, the player in the big blind called, and then King raised to 1,100. The woman reraised to 2,200, the player in the big blind folded, and then King went all in. The woman called to put herself at risk, but she by far the best of it with the {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} for top set. King had middle set with the {6-Hearts}{6-Spades} and would need to improve to win the hand.

The turn was the {3-Clubs}, but then the {6-Diamonds} spiked on the river to give King the case six in the deck and his only out to win the hand. He had his opponent covered and moved to 36,000 in chips.

Conant Turns Quads Against Top Set

Level 4 : 100/200, 50 ante

A table in the room just exploded with excitement and we rushed over to see a ton of chips in the middle with the full board out there.

The board showed {K-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{3-Spades}{J-Diamonds} and Jeremy Conant had the biggest smile on his face as he held {3-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} for quads.

Conant's opponent held {K-Spades}{K-Clubs} and {K-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} respectively, and top set found itself drawing dead on the turn. Conant's now sitting pretty on a pile of chips with still a few levels left to register.
