Ogus Down, Ogus Chops

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

Three bets a piece went in preflop between John Zipperer, Aaron Ogus, and Grayson Scoggin. Zipperer checked on a flop of {q-Spades}{k-Clubs}{4-Spades}, Ogus bet, and Scoggin raised. Only Ogus called.

Ogus check-called another bet when the {5-Hearts} turned, the check-folded to a third bet when the {8-Hearts} completed the board, showing the {k-Spades}{10-Spades}.

The very next hand, Ogus raised from under the gun. Scoggin three-bet on his direct left, Mark Mierkalns cold-called in the small blind, and Ogus made it four bets. Both Scoggin and Mierkalns called.

The flop came {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}{2-Clubs}, Mierkalns let out, Ogus quickly raised, Scoggin folded, and Mierkalns made it three bets. Ogus made it four bets, and Mierkalns called.

Both players checked when the {5-Clubs} turned, and then they shot the lights out when the {5-Hearts} completed the board, betting back and forth until Ogus was all in. The two then showed ace-king, Ogus {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts} and Mierkalns {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}, chopping the pot.

After a {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} flop, Queen folded to Mierkalns' bet.

Mierkalns: {q-Spades}{9-Spades}
Zipperer: {j-Spades}{10-Clubs}

The turn brought an {a-Spades}, and Mierkalns was drawing dead.

We caught the action on fourth street, where Morgan Newman was all in holding two aces on a board of {8-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{j-Clubs}. Eric Froehlich was ahead with {8-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}, however, and held when the {3-Clubs} bricked off on the river.

Newman was eliminated in 14th place, earning $9,160. Froehlich is back up to 355,000 chips.

Three Streets of Value for Queen

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

Aaron Ogus raised in late position, Alex Queen three-bet out of the blinds, and Ogus called. Queen then bet out on every street as the board came {j-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{6-Spades}{8-Clubs}{6-Clubs}, and Ogus called him down.

Ogus then folded when Queen tabled {j-Diamonds}{j-Spades} for a full house.

"Wow!" Ogus exclaimed at the sight of Queen's cards.

Zipperer Quadruples

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

Mark Mierkalns opened for a raise in the cutoff, and John Zipperer put his last 17,000 in on the button. Aaron Ogus and Grayson Scoggin called from the blinds, and Mierkalns tossed in an orange to put Zipperer at risk.

The board ran out {9-Clubs}{6-Spades}{3-Spades}{6-Hearts}{9-Hearts}.

Ogus: {4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}
Scoggin: {q-Hearts}{7-Hearts}
Zipperer: {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts}

Mierkalns mucked his hand when he saw the jacks, and Zipperer survived once more.
