Gorenc Puts Portal to the Test

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Marty Gorenc open raised from the cutoff, John-Paul Portal three-bet to 10,200, and Gorenc four-bet shoved for 40,000 total.

Portal folded, turning up {3-Spades}{3-Clubs} as he tossed them into the muck.

"I had a better pair," said Gorenc as he raked in the pot.

Peterson Doubles Through Sylvia

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Bjorn Peterson
Bjorn Peterson

Bjorn Peterson jammed for 5,500 from under the gun, and Jesse Sylvia three-bet shoved for 8,300 in the small blind, chasing out the big blind.

Bjorn Peterson: {k-Hearts}{j-Spades}
Jesse Sylvia: {j-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}

The {q-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} flop missed both players.

"Nine!" Sylvia said, looking to add an open-ended straight draw to his outs.

The {7-Clubs} turn was another brick, prompting Peterson to say, "They don't give us any fun turns."

The {6-Clubs} river left Peterson's king-high in the lead, and he doubled up.

Kerridge Showers Shaban

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Stuart Kerridge open raised under the gun, Arlie Shaban three-bet all in from the big blind, and Kerridge called.

Arlie Shaban: {a-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}
Stuart Kerridge: {a-}{a-}

Board: {7-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{9-Spades}{2-Clubs}{a-Spades}

Shaban's ace-six was crushed preflop, and Kerridge scooped in Shaban's chips post runout, as the Run It Up ambassador hit the rail.

Stewart Gets Lucky For a Dub

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Scott Stewart jammed in the small blind for 12,900, and the big blind tanked for a minute before calling.

Scott Stewart: {9-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}
Opponent: {a-Spades}{9-Spades}

Stewart needed a four to survive, but the {2-Spades}{k-Clubs}{j-Hearts} flop was no help. The {q-Spades} turn left him with just two outs to win the pot and three outs to chop, and sure enough, the {4-Clubs} river gave Stewart a winning pair of fours.

Moneymaker Hits the Rail

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Ralph Slawson opened to 2,500 for the hijack, and Chris Moneymaker called in the big blind.

The flop came {7-}{5-}{j-}, and Moneymaker led out for the rest of his stack, putting his last 10,000 in the pot. Slawson made the call.

Chris Moneymaker: {2-}{2-}
Ralph Slawson: {8-}{8-}

Moneymaker's pocket deuces couldn't find a miracle on the {4-} turn or {j-} river, and the namesake of the Moneymaker Tour event is off to register for another bullet.

Brown Takes Down a Double

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Just after collecting all of Jesse Capps' chips in an elimination hand, Ty Kohler opened to 2,000 from the hijack, Tom Brown shoved for his remaining 9,900 from the small blind. Kohler made the call.

Tom Brown: {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}
Ty Kohler: {a-Spades}{9-Spades}

Board: {7-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{k-Hearts}

One hand after doubling up with pocket queens, Kohler found himself up against it versus the same hand. Kohler still sits on a comfortable stack after taking the hit, while Brown spun up to around 20 big blinds.
