Bilokur Busts Froelich

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 0 ante
Bilokur Building.
Bilokur Building.

We missed the action on the hand, but Alex Bilokur explained that after he five-bet all in preflop, Eric Froehlic was the only caller and the player at risk holding {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}.

Bilokur had {k-Spades}{k-Hearts} and was all over the {k-Clubs}{a-Spades}{2-Clubs} flop. His set held on the {8-Hearts} turn and {q-Spades} river leaving an empty seat where Froehlich once was.

Matusow Nearly Gets Away from Cooler

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 0 ante

We found Mike Matusow facing a raise to 15,000 from Erik Seidel before the flop. Matusow made it 45,000, and Seidel came back with a min-reraise to 75,000. Matusow thought for awhile, asking the dealer to pull in the raise before deciding to roll with the five-bet to 115,000. Seidel pushed forward the rack still containing his chips after moving into his new seat, and a heated Matusow was beside himself as he flipped {k-Clubs}{k-Spades}, saying he knew he should have folded. Sure enough, Seidel tabled {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}, which held up on the {q-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{4-Spades}{6-Hearts} board.

"I knew I should folded," Matusow said. "I knew I should have folded."

Kaverman Puts a Beat on Galfond

Phil Galfond bet 11,700 from the big blind against Byron Kaverman on the button on a {6-Clubs}{9-Spades}{6-Hearts} flop. Kaverman sat motionless for a bit before dropping 25,400 into the middle. Galfond pushed all in, and Kaverman made the call.

Kaverman: {10-Spades}{9-Diamonds}
Galfond: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}

Galfond was in command with aces, but the {10-Clubs} turn gave Kaverman a few additional outs. The dealer burned and turned a {9-Clubs} river, and Kaverman's boat sank Galfond.
