Lamphere Counterfeit Leads to Exit

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

We didn't catch all of the action, but Adam Lamphere is out after his pocket fives were busted by the {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} of Michael Ermie when the board ran out {8-}{2-}{8-}{7-}{7-}.

With a higher two pair on the board, Ermie's ace kicker was good and it was showers for Lamphere.

Big Stacks Battle

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Jeremy Ehrke raised to 10,500 from under the gun and Nik Stone three-bet to 25,500 from middle position. Action folded back to Ehrke and he made the call. The flop was {k-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{3-Hearts} and Ehrke check-raised to 70,000 after Stone continued for 30,000.

Stone let it go and the pot for Ehrke left the two close to even at or near the chip lead.

Nik Stone
Nik Stone

Nik Stone raised to 8,000 from early position, Mike Dolehanty called from the cutoff and Samuel Angott called from the big blind. The flop came {6-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} and Angott checked. Stone bet 13,000, Dolehanty called and Angott moved all in for 74,500.

Stone moved all in over the top, prompting a fold from Dolehanty.

Stone: {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}

Angott: {q-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}

The {8-Spades} turn and {7-Spades} river didn't bring the flush or queen and Stone is up over 400,000.

Griebe With Early Pressure

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

We picked up the action after a flop of {4-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{6-Spades} and three-way action. Michael Griebe checked, as did a player to his left. Brandon Heller bet 16,000 and Griebe raised to 37,000. After much thought, Heller released his hand and Griebe neared the 300,000 chip mark.
