Spurlin Doubles Through Williams

Level 17 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Jordan Spurlin open-jammed a stack of around 50,000 on the button and David Williams called in the big blind with a bigger stack.

Jordan Spurlin: J?J?
David Williams: A?6?

The dealer showed a boxed card with the 8? and called the floor before putting out a runout of 10?5?K?8?2? that confirmed a double for Spurlin.

As poker commentator Nick Schulman took a seat, he got some recognition from Ralph Marquez.

"Are you the PokerGO guy?" asked Marquez. "I could recognize your voice from a mile away."

Alati Ousted by Baldwin's Rivered Straight

Level 17 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Richard Alati
Richard Alati

Richard Alati was all in for about 44,000 in the big blind and at risk against Eric Baldwin in the small blind.

Richard Alati: K?J?
Eric Baldwin: 5?3?

The Q?7?6? flop left Alati needing to fade additional outs, as did the 9? turn, and the 4? spiked the river to give Baldwin a seven-high straight to eliminate Alati a few spots off the money.

"Baby Shark" Soft Bubbles With Cracked Queens

Level 17 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Christina Gollins
Christina Gollins

Christina Gollins was all in for around 50,000 against Mario Arribas, who had her covered.

Christina Gollins: Q?Q?
Mario Arribas: J?J?

"Baby Shark" had her opponent pipped and was in great shape to double up before the flop landed K?J?2? to give Arribas a set. The A?A? runout improved him to a full house as Gollins was eliminated a few spots off the money.

Peters Doubles as the Bubble Looms

Level 17 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
David Peters
David Peters

Jeremy Pekarek raised to 11,000 from the hijack only to see David Peters commit his last 85,000 to the pot from the button. The blinds got out of the way and with action back on Pekarek, he paused to double-check his cards. Eventually, he decided to flick in a call to put Peters at risk and headed to a runout.

David Peters: J?J?
Jeremy Pekarek: K?Q?

The 4?J?10? flop kept Peters way out in front but gave Jeremy Pekarek an open-ended straight draw and backdoor hearts to go with it. When the 4? landed on the turn giving Peters a full house, the 9? river became meaningless as Pekarek sent a full double to Peters just a few spots from the money.

Williams Doubles on the Bubble

Level 17 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
David Williams
David Williams

On the first hand of hand-for-hand play, there were two all-ins and a call. In one of them, Ralph Marquez had raised to 12,000 from the cutoff and the short-stacked David Williams just called from the big blind, leaving himself a paltry 16,000 behind.

The flop fell 5?K?9? and Williams put in his remaining chips, which Marquez called.

Ralph Marquez: A?8?
David Williams: K?Q?

Williams' stop-and-go play had him out in front, but the 4? turn made things interesting as Marquez picked up a flush draw.

Fortunately for the 2004 WSOP Main Event runner-up, the 6? river was a brick and he doubled on the bubble to keep his 2023 NAPT dreams alive.

Ghozlani Doubles on the Bubble

Level 17 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Chad Brewer raised to 10,000 in early position and Karim Ghozlani moved all in for 33,000 in middle position. Action folded back to Brewer who called.

The players waited to reveal their holdings while the other tables finished. After several minutes, a crowd swarmed the table and the cards were flipped over.

Karim Ghozlani: A?A?
Chad Brewer: K?Q?

A king in the window brought excitement in the air as the dealer spread the K?3?2? flop, but the anticipation quickly turned to a room of groans as the A? turn locked up the pot for Ghozlani before the meaningless K? confirmed his double.
