Friedman Doubles Through Johnson

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Adam Friedman raised to 20,000 from under the gun and Steve Maniaci called from the button. Mark Johnson moved all in from the small blind and Friedman shoved as well for less. Maniaci got out of the way and they were heads up.

Johnson: {a-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}

Friedman: {a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}

The board ran out {5-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{3-Diamonds} and Friedman found a much-needed double up.

Steve Maniaci
Steve Maniaci

We caught the action with the board reading {6-Clubs}{4-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}. Steve Maniaci bet 85,000 and Steven Williams made the call. The river was the {4-Diamonds} and Maniaci placed out a bet of 100,000. Williams quickly called, but saw the bad news when Maniaci turned over {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}.

"Damn, I had pocket sixes," Williams said after mucking his hand.

Bahri Doubles Through Barill

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

We walked up to a flop of {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} and Alex Barill contemplating an all-in shove from Johnny Bahri. After some thought, Barill threw out chips for a call. "I have an ace," Bahri said, rolling over {a-Clubs}{5-Spades}. Barill tabled {6-Diamonds}{6-Spades} and found no help on either the {10-Spades} turn or {j-Spades} river.

We caught the action with a completed board of {3-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{10-Spades} and over 100,000 in the middle. Jeremy Ehrke was heads up with Alex Barill and facing a bet of 80,000. After some thought, Ehrke threw out chips for the call. Barill tabled {a-Spades}{a-Clubs} and Ehrke frustratingly tossed {j-Diamonds}{j-Spades} face up toward the muck.

Raise and Take It

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

We picked up the heads-up action between Jean Gaspard and Joseph Yashinsky after a flop of {7-Spades}{q-Clubs}{j-Hearts}. Gaspard led out for 22,000 and Yashinsky thought for a moment. "If you have ace-king, it's coming on the turn," Gaspard mentioned as Yashinsky contemplated.

Eventually, Yashinsky moved all in for around 100,000 and Gaspard quickly folded.
