Level 18

Dan Shak: 6♦5♦/A♦K♦8♥4♣/9♦
Julien Martini: K♠6♥/6♣Q♣6♠J♦/5♣

Action was picked up on fifth street. Julien Martini bet fifth and sixth and received a call from Dan Shak on both streets. On seventh Martini bet again, and Shak made it two big bets, sending Martini deep into the tank.

"Do you have it Dan?" Martini asked his opponent. After taking between two and three minutes to contemplate his decision he made the call.

Martini had trip sixes but Shak had made a flush on seventh, leaving Martini with less than a starting stack going into the next hand.

David "Bakes" Baker: 10♣K♠J♦/7♦4♠9♦8x
Julien Martini: 8♥J♣Qx/4♦K♦3♦7♠

The next hand Martini got the last of his chips in on third street against David "Bakes" Baker. Martini was ahead with a better king-high for most of the way but Baker made a straight on seventh to send Martini to the rail.

"What a Scumbag"

Level 18

Ben Diebold: K♠J♠J♣/9♣Q♣10♣8♠
Chad Eveslage: A♦XxXx/9♦4♦4♠A♠
Leonard August: XxXx/3♠ - folded bring-in

Chad Eveslage completed Leonard August's bring-in and Ben Diebold put in a second bet.

"Here comes Ben," commented Eveslage before Leonard August folded his bring-in and he called.

Diebold check-called a bet on fourth street, then despite taking over the betting lead on fifth, Eveslage check-called bets from Diebold on fifth and sixth.

On seventh street, after some thought, Eveslage check-called a final bet from Diebold.

"I caught the wrong king," said Diebold with a verbal slow roll, before revealing his hand which held four to a straight flush, minus the K♣. Still, he had a winning king-high straight!

"What a scumbag," joked Eveslage which got a round of laughter from the table, which has been very light-hearted and jovial, despite being so close to a WSOP bracelet.
