Skreens Dons His Hero Cape

Level 14 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Bryan Skreens
Bryan Skreens

The big blind checked a {q-Clubs}{5-Spades}{q-Hearts} flop over to Sam Cosby, who bet 5,000 into a pot of 16,000. Bryan Skreens called in the cutoff, and the big blind folded.

Both players checked the {10-Clubs} turn, and the {9-Spades} hit the river. Cosby bet 18,000, leaving himself 31,000 behind. Skreens, who had just 59,000 left in his own stack, tanked for a minute before making the call. Cosby turned over {a-Clubs}{6-Clubs}, then mucked after Skreens rolled over {4-Diamonds}{4-Spades} for queens and fours.

Level 14 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Sultan Ahmed
Sultan Ahmed

Jeremy Pekarek checked an {8-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} flop from the small blind, and Daniel Dombrowski checked from the big blind. Sultan Ahmed bet 5,000 on the button, and Pekarek called. Dombrowski check-raised to 19,000, and Ahmed three-bet shoved for 100,000. Pekarek folded and Dombrowski called off his 55,000 chip stack.

Daniel Dombrowksi: {j-Clubs}{10-Hearts}
Sultan Ahmed: {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts}

Ahmed was ahead with his superior kicker, and stayed there when the {j-Spades} turn gave both players trips. Dombrowski needed to find a queen, ten or seven to stay alive, but his tournament ended when the {4-Spades} fell on the river.

Kings Against Queens Pays Huge For Gallaher

Level 14 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

John Gallaher shared the details of a recent pot that saw a huge swing of chips between himself and Melissa Bryne.

Bryne raised to 6,000 from middle position, and David McGowan called in the small blind. Gallaher three-bet to 18,500 in the big blind, and only Bryne called.

Gallaher bet 55,000 on the {j-}{8-}{7-} flop, leaving himself 40,000 behind. Bryne jammed and Gallaher called it off.

John Gallaher: {k-}{k-}
Melissa Bryne: {q-}{q-}

Bryne failed to find a queen on the {7-} turn, and Gallaher filled up on the {k-} river, earning him a big double and leaving Bryne with ten big blinds.

"Jesus" Finds Salvation on the River

Level 14 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Ryan Scully
Ryan Scully

George Aldrich raised to 6,000 from middle position, and Ryan Scully, who affectionately called himself "Jesus" earlier in reference to his long hair, made the call from the cutoff. The small blind three-bet to 16,000, and only Scully called.

The small blind bet 15,000 on the {7-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{8-Spades} flop, and Scully called.

The small blind checked the {6-Hearts} turn, and Scully bet 20,000, leaving himself 15,000 behind. The small blind check-raised all in and Scully called it off.

Ryan Scully: {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}
Opponent: {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}

Scully needed a jack to survive, and he let out a loud, "Yeahhhhh!" when the {j-Diamonds} river saved his tournament life with a winning set of jacks.

Dembiec Gets Lucky to Triple

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

Steven Dembiec raised to 10,500 from middle position, and Jorden Helstern three-bet shoved for 96,500 from middle position. The cutoff called off his last 77,000, and Dembeic thought briefly before committing his last 22,000.

Steven Dembiec: {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}
Opponent: {7-Spades}{7-Hearts}
Jorden Helstern: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

Dembiec and Helstern both flopped Broadway draws on a {10-Spades}{2-Hearts}{j-Spades} flop, but it would be Dembiec finding a straight after the {9-Clubs} turn and {8-Hearts} river gave him a queen-high straight and the win for the main pot. The cutoff made a small profit on the side pot, and Helstern was left with 14,000, which he lost soon after.

Craig Trost
Craig Trost

Craig Trost was stacking up another large pot, and shared the details of how he dispatched Hannah Guthrie with us.

Guthrie raised from under the gun, and Trost called in the small blind, as did the big blind. Action checked to Guthrie on a {j-Spades}{10-Spades}{9-} flop, and she bet 10,000. Trost check-raised to 27,000, the big blind folded and Guthrie called.

Trost bet 48,000 on the {3-} turn, and Guthrie went into the tank for a few minutes, before jamming for around 90,000. Trost called.

Hannah Guthrie: {a-}{j-}
Craig Trost: {8-Clubs}{7-Clubs}

Trost's flopped straight had Guthrie dead to the river, and he picked up the pot to send his stack soaring above 300,000.

Matthew Ploof: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}
