Hall Finds a Double

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

James Hall moved all in preflop from early position for 46,000. The cutoff reraised all in for more to isolate Hall, and both players' cards were tabled.

James Hall: KQ
Cutoff: AK

Hall was behind until the flop came Q5Q. By the time the 3 turn and 5 river came, Hall's full house kept him still in the game.

Argote Smashes the River

Level 14 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Action folded to a player in the small blind who opened to 22,000. The big blind was Erick "Kraken" Argote who took his time but ultimately opted to go all in for 83,000. The small blind player went deep into the tank and thought it over for about three minutes before making the call. Argote was in bad shape going to a runout.

Erick Argote: A10
Small blind: AJ

The 984 flop landed and Argote began to gather his things, expecting to be hitting the showers. The 2 turn hit and Argote was almost away from the table when the 10 hit the river like a bomb that blew Argote right back to his seat.

He survived and has a good stack heading into the next level of play.

Heimiller Spikes The Jack

Level 14 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Action was picked up in a massive all in pot worth 410,000 with three players all in and at risk, including two time WSOP bracelet winner Dan Heimiller.

Opponent 1: KK
Dan Heimiller: JJ
Opponent 2: AA
Opponent 3: QQ

The flop rolled out J55 and Heimiller said "yes!" as he spiked the jack to take the lead. The board ran out 74 and no help was brought to the other hands meaning Heimiller more than tripled up his stack while the aces scooped a large side pot.

Weishar Wins Huge Three-Way

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Preflop action began with the player under the gun, who raised to 12,000. A player in middle position then went all in for 25,000. Action folded to Michael Weishar in the big blind, who then reraised all in for 69,000. The player under the gun called, having both of his opponents covered.

Middle Position: 77
Michael Weishar: AK
Under the Gun: 1010

The flop came JJ6, giving Wieshar one pair but giving his opponents two. The turn came A, however, giving him the better two pair. The 3 was harmless, and he raked in a massive pot.

Mitchell Dominating Early

Level 15 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

All of the money was already in the middle as Jade Mitchell, the button, called all-in bets from both the hijack and cutoff.

Hijack: 87
Cutoff: AJ
Jade Mitchell: AK

The 102632 improved no one, meaning Mitchell eliminated both of her opponents.

"I'm running so hot!" she exclaimed as she stacked her newly-won chips.
